The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’ 
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those 
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
INTRODUCTION
The bi-amplified P5A/6A/8A are two-way active monitoring speakers designed for high output, low coloration and broad bandwidth. P5A is 5” 2-way; P6A is 61/4” 2-way, P8A is 83/4” 2-way. Bigger number means bigger power as well as bigger woofer, which offers extended low frequency response and higher output level.
Due to its compact size, integrated construction, excellent dispersion and precise stereo imaging, this speaker system is ideal for near field monitoring, mobile vans, broadcast, TV control rooms and home studios.
Designed as an active speaker, this unit contains drivers, power amplifiers, active crossover filtering and protection circuitry. The directivity control system used provides excellent frequency balance even in difficult acoustic environments.
SOFT DOME WITH SOUND GUIDING HORN
This horn is designed to provide better sound directivity for the listener(s). With its smooth surface and well-spread angle, the sound produced from the tweeter can be easily forwarded to the listener(s).
DRIVERS
The bass frequency is reproduced by a 5-inch, 61/4”- inch, and 83/4” -inch woofer respectively. P5A, P6A, and P8A all use a 25mm (1 inch) soft dome tweeter, with pure piston behavior up to 20KHz. The uniform dispersion control is achieved with the directivity control system. This has also resulted in perfect phase and delay uniformity at thecrossover frequency. Both drivers in PSeries Active Version are magnetically shielded. Please feel free to place this unit next to your PC, laptop, or any other electronic devices.
CROSSOVER
The active crossover network consists of two parallel band pass filters. Acoustically the filters are complementary and the slopes are 24dB/ octave. The crossover frequency is set to 1.8KHz. By use of active crossover controls (Low Match, Room Compensation, and High Match, which will be introduced on page 6), this speaker may be exactly matched to any application.
AMPLIFIERS
The amplifier unit is mounted to the rear panel of the speaker with damping material, to ensure rattle free operation and long term reliability. The unit incorporates special protection circuitry as well, for driver overload protection and amplifier thermal overload protection. Variable input sensitivity allows for accurate level matching to the mixing console.

INSTALLATION
Each active studio monitor is supplied with an integrated amplifier unit, a mains cable and an operating manual. Once unpacked, place the loudspeaker in its required listening axis. Before connecting up, ensure that the mains switch is off. Audio input is made via a balanced (XLR) and 1/4” TRS phone jacks, which are in paralell. But unbalanced leads may be used as long as pin 3 is grounded to pin 1 of the XLR, or linking Ring to sleeve of the 1/4” TRS phone jack. Once connection has been made, the speakers are ready to be powered-up. Before turning the unit on, make sure the mains needed is identical with the AC outlet.
SETTING THE INPUT SENSITIVITY
Adjustment of the input sensitivity of each speaker can be made to match that of the mixing console or other source, by using the input sensitivity control on the rear panel. The manufacturer default setting for this control is -6dBu (fully clockwise).
SETTING TONE CONTROL
The acoustic response of the system may also have to be adjusted to match the acoustic environment. The adjustment is done by setting the tone control switchesonthecontrolpaneloftheamplifier.Phonic’ s default settings for these controls are to give a flat anechoic response. Set switch to the desired position to select response curve needed.
P5A / P6A / P8A
1. LOW MATCH
This is a high pass filter. The numbers above the switch tells you the crossover frequency points. While use this unit with a subwoofer, you can select a suitable frequency to match the additional subwoofer.
2. ROOM COMPENSANTION
User can alter the output volume of woofer depending on its setup position. Positioned real close against the wall, this unit will have stronger low frequency. It is necessary then, to set the level of the low frequency output at -2dB to achieve the best balance between high and low frequency. When located at the corner, it is suggested to set this level at -4dB. Basically, the longer distance your monitor is to the wall, the more you need to boost this bass gain.
3. HIGH MATCH
Use this to adapt the speaker’ s frequency response to the damping characteristics of the control room.
4. POWER MODE
You can use this switch to select between “ON”, “AUTO ON” , and “OFF” . When set to OFF, this unit is compelety switched off and cannot be activated by the power switch. When the switch is set to AUTO ON, this unit will automatically operate as soon as a signal is sent to its input. On the other hand, this unit will automatically deactivate when the signal is paused for more than five minutes. When the switch is set to ON, this unit is activated all the time and can be turned off only by the power switch.
5. INPUT CONNECTORS
The balanced 1/4” and XLR inputs are available for users to connect various ouput devices to the P Series Studio Monitors.
