English
We recommend using high quality audio cables to guarantee optimal performance. It is important to ensure that the speakers stand firmly on a solid surface. Please note that the loudspeakers will need a few days to achieve optimum sonic performance.
1.Make sure that the volume control of iLoud MTM is set to minimum. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel is set to OFF.
2.Install the adjustable foot on the bottom of the iLoud MTM with the locking key. You can adjust the inclination of the speaker from 0° to 20°. Once reached the desired inclination angle, tighten the locking key. IMPORTANT: make sure that you tighten the locking key on the correct threaded insert at the bottom of iLoud MTM. The second threaded insert is intended for installing the iLoud MTM on top of a microphone stand.

3.Adjust the vertical alignment of the speaker. This step is crucial to fully benefit from the MTM design (for more information refer to the dedicated paragraph in this manual).
4. Connect the power cord.
