When a loudspeaker is not used in free field mode, the « Roll Off » calibration must be applied. 6.3 Roll-Off practical view : Even at very low frequencies, a monitor is not really omni-directional, and it cannot be completely incorporated into a partition. Consequently, the acoustic pressure level will not be entirely doubled by the partition.
6.4 Mounting Please respect the instructions given in the “Technical Data Sheet” of each product. Remember that any loudspeaker positioned above floor level represents a fall hazard. Make sure your loudspeakers are always securely positioned or mounted in a stable position and can’t fall. In particular make sure no child can make them fall. 6.5 Stereo Operation Position the loudspeakers so that the position between the listener, the left and right loudspeakers determine an equilateral triangle.
• When commuting the first direct monitor or the second together with the subwoofer, the sound level hearing comparison allows a reliable and objective adjustment (± 0.5 dB). When adjusting the subwoofer level, the two systems should provide the same sound impression. Stereo & sub system calibration • The sub level being now calibrated, the signal from the first monitor should go through the sub and its Roll-Off adjusted @ -10dB Stereo & sub system in practice UANPA10 V5.

7.2 Poor audio quality Check the audio cabling to the speaker from the audio source and power cable, for poor wiring or broken connections. Problems can occur with incorrect cabling and especially when converting unbalanced signal to balanced signal. Please refer to chapter 5.3 for details. 7.3 Uneven frequency response In the case of uneven frequency response, please check the performance of the loudspeaker with a known reference source (i.e. your favourite CD).
