Connecting Audio Devices

Connecting iPod®/iPhone®

Clarity HD™ Model One Monitors feature a built-in dock for iPod and iPhone for an easy, direct connection. This will also give you the ability to control playback with the included remote control.

Using iPod/iPhone Dock Adaptors

Clarity HD Model One Monitors include multiple Dock Adaptors that ﬁt iPod nano® (4th and 5th generations), iPod touch® (2nd generation), iPod classic® (80GB and 120GB/160GB), iPod with video (30GB) and iPhone 3G and 3GS.

To install, simply push the adaptor plate that ﬁts your model into the

NOTE: Make sure the “Shake to Shufﬂe” setting is turned off on your iPod®

or iPhone.® The bass response of the speaker may activate it and interfere

with playback.

NOTE: If a dock adaptor for your model of iPod or iPhone isn’t included with Clarity

HD™ Model One Monitors, you can purchase one at www.apple.com/store. Apple’s dock adaptors do not come in black, but the Clarity HD Model One Monitor’s dock

is made to be compatible with Apple Dock Adaptors.

Docking iPod/iPhone

After installing the proper dock adaptor, set your iPod or iPhone onto the dock on

the top of Clarity HD Model One Monitors, being sure the dock port on your player and the dock plug are aligned properly. Your player should connect easily and

remain upright in the port, with no forcing necessary.

Connecting Devices using 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini jack input

You can connect and listen to any music player that has a standard 3.5 mm

headphone port using a mini jack to mini stereo cable (not included). To connect, turn off the power to the monitors, plug one end of the cable into the 3.5

mm headphone output of your player and the other end into the 3.5 mm input on the

back of the active monitor. Turn on the power.

IMPORTANT: The iPod/iPhone dock will override and disable the 3.5 mm

mini jack input when an iPod or iPhone is docked. Be sure to remove your

iPhone or iPod from the dock before using the 3.5 mm input.

Connecting Devices using RCA inputs

The RCA inputs allow you to connect AV components that utilize RCA outputs,

like a CD player, using a stereo RCA cable (not included).

Stereo RCA cables are color coordinated red and white, with red for the

“right” channel and white for the “left” channel. But some color variation can

occur in the left channel plug. Monster Cable® RCA, the recommended cable,

is blue, and some manufacturers use black. However, red is consistently

used for the right channel.

To connect, plug the left and right plugs on one end of the cable into their

respective RCA outputs on the back of your component. They will be color coordinated or marked “left” and “right.” Plug the other end of the RCA cable into their respective inputs on the back of the active monitor.

Connecting Devices using Left and Right TRS ¼-inch

(6.35 mm) Balanced Inputs

You can connect professional stereo audio equipment, like studio or DJ gear, using a TRS ¼-inch to ¼-inch cable (not included).

To connect, plug one end of the cables into the left, then right ¼-inch outputs on your gear and the other ends into the left and right ¼-inch inputs on the back of the active speaker.

Always turn the power off when connecting or disconnecting components.

Listen

Be sure a music player is securely connected, as described

in the previous section. Turn on Clarity HD™ Model One Monitors by pushing the power button

on the left side of top surface of the active monitor or with the remote control.

Start your player.

Clarity HD™ Model One Monitors feature a High Filter for adjusting the level of the high frequencies. This allows you to adapt the speakers to your listening space.

Set to 0: Keeps the high frequencies at the level they were originally set at in the recording studio.

Set to -2dB: Lowers the level of the high frequencies.

Set to +2dB: Increases the level of the high frequencies.

Troubleshooting

The table can help solve most operating problems with your

Clarity HD™ Model One Monitors.

First, follow these steps:

• Remove your iPod®/iPhone® from the dock completely.

• Reseat it in the dock rmly.

• Make sure your iPod/iPhone has the latest software installed.

Problem What to do

I hear no sound coming from my Clarity HD Model One Monitors.

• Make sure you have your iPod/iPhone docked securely.

is playing.

• Make sure you have the power cord properly connected on the back of your Clarity HD Model One Monitors and that it is plugged into a working AC outlet.

• Make sure you press the power button and verify the power LED is lit.

Problem What to do

My Clarity HD™ Model One Monitors suddenly stopped working and the red LED

is ﬂashing.

Switch the power back on.
