Features

Rear Panel

1. RCA INPUTS – Use RCA cables (sold separately)

to connect an external sound source to these
inputs.

2. 1/4” INPUTS – Use 1/4” cables (sold separately) to

connect an external sound source to these inputs.

3. BASS BOOST – This 2-position switch allows you

to boost the speakers’ bass frequencies.

4. OUTPUT TO LEFT SPEAKER – This is the audio

connection to the left speaker. Use the included
1/4” interconnection cable to connect the right
speaker to the left speaker.

5. INPUT FROM THE RIGHT SPEAKER – This is the

audio connection to the right speaker. Use the
included 1/4" interconnection cable to connect the
left speaker to the right speaker.

6. POWER ON/OFF SWITCH – Turns Elevate 5 on or off. To save energy, Elevate 5 will automatically

power off after 30 minutes of not receiving an audio signal from its inputs. Once Elevate 5 detects an
audio signal from its inputs, it will automatically power on again.

Front Panel

1. TWEETER – This outputs the high

2. WOOFER – This outputs the low

frequencies.

3. HEADPHONES – Connect your 1/8”

headphones to this output to hear the mix
through your headphones. Note that while
headphones are connected to Elevate 5,
you will not be able to hear sound out of
your speakers until the headphones are
disconnected.

4. VOLUME – This knob is used to adjust the

volume of the speakers.

5. BASS PORT – The bass port augments

the bass generated by the woofer to increase the low-frequency SPL over that of non-ported speakers.

Speaker Placement

The placement of your speakers has a huge impact on how well they will
perform in your studio. Although nearfield studio monitors are designed to
be more forgiving when it comes to placement, you should do your best to
make sure they form an equilateral triangle relative to your head. In other
words, make sure that each speaker is equally distant from both your head
as well as the other speaker. Once each speaker has been placed, rotate
the speakers slightly so that the drivers are pointing toward the listener.

Take a look at the diagram on the right. Notice that the distance from the
listener’s head to each speaker is the same as the distance between the left
and right speakers. Also note that the speakers are turned slightly so that
the drivers are facing the listener. This is an ideal setup but if it is not
practical (or possible) to do this, try to match this setup as closely as
possible.

Speaker Height

The ideal height for Elevate 5 is so that the
speaker is parallel to the ground and that
the midpoint of the woofer and tweeter is at
ear-height.

The diagram to the right demonstrates the
ideal placement height of the speakers
relative to the listener. Notice that the
listener’s ears are directly between the
woofer and tweeter.
