Introduction
Monitor Audio are a highly respected member of the ‘Guild of Master Craftsmen’
with over 30 years of experience in the art of traditional wood working techniques and leading edge drive unit technology. This blend of experience and technology brings you the Radius Series. Please follow this user manual carefully as it contains important information about positioning and set up procedures. For further advanced informationon system
set-up, FAQ’s and multi-lingual support please refer to our website at: www.monitoraudio.co.uk
Safety Instructions
1. Water & Moisture: The loudspeaker should not be used near water - for
example; bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, and washing machine, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool. Under no circumstance should plants or fish bowls be placed on the loudspeaker
2. Heat: The loudspeaker should not be placed near any heat source such as radiators, open fires, stoves, direct sunlight and any other appliance that produces heat.
3. Cleaning: Great care and attention has gone into the materials chosen to produce the Radius loudspeakers. A gentle wipe with a dry, clean cloth is all that is required to remove any dust. Treat them as you would a fine piece of furniture because that is how they have been designed.

Technical Specification
Positioning
The Radius 45 can be positioned on a shelf by fitting the rubber feet provided to the underside of the speaker to stop vibrations. Alternatively, you can chooseto fix the Radius 45 to a wall by using the high-quality metal alloy wall bracket provided. A specially designed Floor Stand can be purchased from your local authorised Monitor Audio dealer for placement in free space (available soon). To fix your speaker to the wall when using the wall bracket, please refer to the ‘Wall Bracket Fixing Instructions’ in the wall bracket carton.
Configuration
The uniquely designed, ultra compact Radius 45 has been primarily designed as a satellite speaker for use in a multi-channel audio or video system. Combined with the Radius 360/720 subwoofer, the Radius 45 forms an extremely discreet system that can be wall or stand mounted to fit in with a modern lifestyle environment. The rear firing gold C-CAM tweeter is able to spread the sound around the room to create a wide sound-stage, giving the apparent performance of a much larger speaker system. Please refer to the section; ‘System Wiring Configurations’ on page 14. NOTE: When used with an A/V receiver amplifier or processor the
speaker setting should be set to ‘small’ and the crossover frequency set to 120Hz.
If the receiver only has a 80/100 Hz setting it must be noted that the overall power handling and maximum soundpressure level will be reduced. NOTE: The Radius 45 is fitted with a PTC device. This protects the drive unit and tweeter from being over driven. The PTC is a thermal device. When too much current is passed through it, it gets hot and trips out. If the sound should suddenly cut out, please turn your system off and allow the PTC to cool down. After a short while you can then turn your system back on again. If the PTC does trip, turn the volume down slightly to help prevent it happening again.
Grille Fitment
To help the Radius 45 fit into any life-style environment we include a choice of silver and black grilles (silver and white with white Radius 45) as standard. You will find the spare grille enclosed within the polystyrene packaging end caps. If you wish to change the grille colour, you can do this by carefully removing the grille, using your fingers to gradually pull the existing grille off the cabinet. To fit a grille, ensurethe badge is correctly orientated and gently press the grille into place.

Positioning
Technical Specification
The Radius 270’sare the only floor standing loudspeaker in the Radius line up. These excellent performing floor-standers, come ready to play straight out of the box with stabilizing plinths already attached (we do not recommend that you take this plinth off). To improve the bass response you can fit the acoustic spikes to the underside of the plinths. These simply screw in to the remaining four holes in the bottom of each plinth. Caution must be taken when handling the spikes as they are very sharp. The Radius 270’sshould be positioned no closer than 2 –2.5 metres apart for optimum sound.
Configuration
The Radius 270’scan be used in a number of system configurations. They are fully magnetically shielded and can be positioned as close to a TV as you wish. On their own they can be used in a two-channel stereo system for use in a medium size room. Alternatively the Radius 270’scan be used as part of a Home Theatre system or multi-channel audio set-up. The Radius 360 or 720 subwoofers can be used with the Radius 270’sto provide deep, powerful bass. Please refer to the section; ‘System Wiring Configurations’ on page 14.
Grille Fitment
To help the Radius 270’sfit into any life-style environment we include a choice of silver and black grilles (silver and white with white Radius 270’s) as standard. You will find the spare grilles enclosed within the polystyrene packaging end caps. The spare grille with the badge should be used on the bottom bass driver of each cabinet. However this is not essential. You can changethem to the mid bass units if you so wish.
If you wish to change the grille colour, you can do this by carefully removing the grille, using your fingers to gradually pull the existing grille off the cabinet. To fit a grille, ensurethe badge is correctly orientated and gently press the grille into place.

Unpacking & Installation
WARNING: The Radius 720 is very heavy, and we recommend this being a two
person lift only. Remove the clear plastic, bass driver transit protection disk(s). It is important to
position the subwoofer initially to have easy access to the control panel. Make sure all your cables will reach easily and leave the Radius 360/720 unplugged from the mains electricity supply, until the installation and initial set-up procedure is complete.
The optimal control settings will ultimately depend entirely on your system configuration.For initial trials set the controls as follows:
Volume - Should be set to the minimum position. Frequency - Should be set to approximately 100 Hz. Phase - Should be set initial to 0 degrees. Mode (R360 only) - If you are setting your system up as two channel, set the
mode switch in “music” mode. If you are installing a predominately home cinema system it may be more effective to set mode switch to “movies” position.
Crossover/LFE (R720 only) – If your subwoofer is being used with a stereo integrated/pre/power amplifier, this should be set to ‘crossover’. If your subwoofer is being used with an AV amp/receiver with a dedicated subwoofer output, this should be set to ‘LFE.’.
WARNING: Do not adjust the main voltage selector,as this is factory pre-set. Position/Location
Your Radius 360/720 Subwoofer is magnetically shielded and can be located in close proximity to a T.V. No matter where you place your Radius 360/720, you must allow sufficient spacing for ventilation of the rear panel. We recommend this
distance to be not less than 100mm (4”).
Subwoofer Connections
There are a number of ways to connect your subwoofer into your system. One uses loudspeaker cables; the other uses interconnect cables with RCA phono plugs. Looking at the rear panel of your subwoofer you will see two sets of speaker
terminals, one labelled ‘amplifier input’, the other ‘speaker output’, and RCA phono
sockets labelled ‘input’ (right and left). Please refer to the section; ‘System Wiring Configuration’ on page 14.
If you have a Radius 720, and wish to connect more than one subwoofer, you can
do this by using the RCA phono output connectors on the amplifier to ‘daisy chain’
the subwoofers together.

Radius 360/720 Features
1. Power Switch with Auto off Facility: The power switch has two positions: Off -
Auto On. In the Auto On position the sub-woofer unit will remain in standby mode until the unit receives an input signal (greater than 4mV). If the subwoofer unit does not receive a signal within 15-20 minutes, it will switch to standby mode until it receives a further signal.
2. Mode Switch (R360 only): This facility is used to set the desired frequency contour for music or home cinema system.
3. Volume: This control allows the subwoofer level or loudness to be adjusted in order that you can achieve a totally controlled balanced sound.
4. Frequency: This feature controls the upper frequency limit of the Radius 360/720.
5. Phase: The phase control is used to synchronise the output between the Radius 360/720 and main/satellite speakers. For most applications this should be set to 0 degrees.
6. Crossover/LFE Switch (R720 only): This switch allows the internal low pass crossover to be enabled or by-passed. Under normal operating conditions (using a
stereo amplifier) the switch should be set to ‘crossover’. This allows the frequency
control to be adjusted. If an AV amp/receiver is being used, the switch should be set to LFE. This enables the subwoofer’s crossover point to be determined by the AV amp/receiver. NOTE: In LFE mode, the frequency control will not work.
7. RCA Phono Input Connection: This method of connection is recommended where a pre-amplifier or home theatre processor/ receiver is to be used.
8. RCA Phono Output Connection (R720 only): The line level output is provided
so that other subwoofers can be connected to the system in a ‘daisy chain’ type
connection. Thismay be necessary in very large rooms.
9. Amplifier Input: This facility provides the Radius 360/720 with connection directly fromthe amplifier output terminals (speaker level).
10. Speaker Output: This provides output to satellite speakers via a built in high pass filter.
11. The Mains Fuse: This should be replaced with one of identical specification. Note: A spare fuse is provided within the fuse holder, located in the plastic holder below the IEC mains input socket. If a fuse blows more than once, it is advisable to have the subwoofer unit checked by an authorised serviceagent.
12. Mains Voltage Selector: This is factory set to your countries mains voltage specification. Do not attempt to adjust this as this may lead to permanent damage to the product and even the risk of fire.

Fine-tuning
1. Connect the mains supply and switch on the Radius 360/720. Play the music/ movie at an average listening level; the Subwoofer should switch on automatically (blue LED on front will illuminate)
2.The volume control can now be adjusted to a desirable level.
3. The frequency control can now be set to give a seamless sound balance. The setting will depend on the low frequency response of the main/satellite speakers.
4. The volume may need to be fine-tuned to complete the installation process. It is very important to try a variety of music/movies with which you are familiar in order to obtain the optimum overall settings.
Troubleshooting
No sound from the subwoofer
Check that the power connection is made correctly.Check to see if the power light is on.Check the input connections to the subwoofer are correct.If the amplifier input is in use, check the connections are phased correctly
(+ to + and- to -).
If the amplifier input is in use, check the speaker wires are connected at
the amplifier.
Excessive bass from subwoofer
Check the position of subwoofer - ensure that it is not too close to a
corner of the room
Re-check the set-up procedure
Inadequate bass from subwoofer
Re-check full set-up procedure
Vibrating noise from subwoofer
Check that this is not caused by items located on top of or close to the
Subwoofer, which may vibrate when subject to deep bass sounds
If problems persist contact your dealer for assistance.

Ancillary Equipment
All Monitor Audio Radius loudspeakers present an easy, efficient load and are compatible with most good quality amplifiers. Implementation of the latest design and construction techniques offer equal suitability to the demands of both current andfuture digital and analogue formats.
Monitor Audio’s power handling figures are based upon undistorted speech and
music signals. All Monitor Audio loudspeakers are primarily intended for use in a normal domestic environment. Provided you do not overdrive your amplifier or make excessive use of bass or treble boosts, you should never damage either the amplifier or loudspeakers. High quality components are utilised to produce these loudspeakers ensuring accurate reproduction of the signal fed to them, so it is important to appreciate that the ancillary equipment used will profoundly affect performance. If distortion is evident when the volume level is increased this is a sign of overdriving and the volume level should be reduced immediately. Used properly, loudspeakers will rarely fail and if both units reproduce the same fault or distortion, then it is likely that the problem is elsewhere in the system. In such instances please contact your dealer.
