5. Opsætning

5.1 Placering

Proper placement is crucial for accurate monitoring. Position the monitors to form an equilateral triangle with your listening position. The tweeters should ideally be at ear level. Due to the front-firing bass port, the Reveal 502 can be placed closer to walls than monitors with rear-firing ports, offering flexibility in smaller studio spaces.

5.2 Strømtilslutning

  1. Før du tilslutter strømkablet, skal du sørge for, at Voltage Vælg kontakten på bagpanelet er indstillet til den korrekte lydstyrketage for your region (100-120V or 220-240V). Incorrect voltagDette valg kan beskadige enheden.
  2. Sørg for, at skærmens tænd/sluk-knap er i OFF-positionen.
  3. Connect the supplied power cable to the IEC power inlet on the rear panel of the monitor and then to a suitable AC power outlet.

5.3 Lydforbindelser

The Reveal 502 offers multiple input options:

  • Balanced Inputs (XLR and 1/4" TRS): For connecting to professional audio interfaces, mixers, or other balanced audio sources. Balanced connections help reduce noise over longer cable runs.
  • Unbalanced Input (1/8" AUX): For connecting consumer devices such as smartphones, tablets, or computers using the supplied mini jack cable.
  • Overvågningslink: If you are using two Reveal 502 monitors for stereo playback, connect the 1/8" output from your source to the AUX input of the first monitor. Then, use a 1/8" stereo cable to connect the MONITOR LINK output of the first monitor to the AUX input of the second monitor. This allows both monitors to receive the same stereo signal.

Always ensure your audio source is turned off or its volume is set to minimum before making connections to prevent sudden loud noises.

6. Betjeningsvejledning

6.1 Tænd/sluk

To power on the monitor, flip the Strømafbryder on the rear panel to the 'ON' position. The power LED on the front will illuminate. To power off, flip the switch to the 'OFF' position.

6.2 Lydstyrkekontrol

De Bind knob on the rear panel controls the output level of the monitor. It is recommended to start with the volume knob set to its minimum position (fully counter-clockwise) before playing audio, then gradually increase it to a comfortable listening level. Adjust the volume on your audio source first, then fine-tune with the monitor's volume control.

6.3 EQ-indstillinger

The Reveal 502 features EQ controls to help tailor the monitor's sound to your listening environment:

  • HI BOOST / NEUTRAL / HI CUT: This switch adjusts the high-frequency response. Use NEUTRAL for a flat response. HEJ BOOST can be used to add clarity, while HI CUT can tame overly bright rooms or sources.
  • SPEAKER POSITION: This switch helps compensate for the monitor's placement. If the monitor is placed very close to a wall or in a corner, selecting the appropriate position setting can help maintain a more accurate bass response by reducing boundary effect build-up.
