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.
Speaker Orientation
If possible, place the Elevate 5 monitors in
their upright position and avoid laying the
speakers on their sides. The Elevate 5
woofer and tweeter are vertically aligned
and will provide the best performance when
the speakers are placed upright. Placing
them on their sides may create strong
reflections from nearby surfaces resulting in
spectrally unbalanced sound.
If your Elevate 5 monitors must be oriented
horizontally due to space or line-of-sight
considerations, place the speakers so that
their tweeter is on the “inside” to improve
imaging.

Left Speaker
The speakers and listener should
be at the three corners of a
triangle having equal length sides.

Features
Rear Panel
1. RCA Inputs: Use the included
audio cable or other RCA cables
(sold separately) to connect
external sound sources to these
inputs.
2. 1/4” Inputs: Use 1/4” (6.35 mm)
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”
(6.35 mm) 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” (6.35 mm) 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.
7. Power Connector: Plug the included power cable here.

Front Panel
1. Tweeter: This outputs the high
frequencies.
2. Woofer: This outputs the low
frequencies.
3. Headphones: Connect your
1/8” (3.5 mm) 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 lowfrequency SPL over that of non-ported speakers. Make sure this hole is not obstructed
since this will adversely affect bass response.
