Quick Start
We realize that you can’t wait to hook up your CRBT
Creative Reference M
ultimedia Monitors and try them
out. Nevertheless, please take the time to read this page
NOW, and the rest can wait until you’re good and ready.
1. Turn the volume control on the front of the powered
CRBT monitor down (fully counterclockwise) before
turning the unit on for the first time.
2. Set the power switch on the back panel off. This will
prevent you from accidentally connecting a hot signal
source to the monitor and getting a rude surprise.
3. Connect the black (–) and red (+) speaker wires
from the powered monitor’s ± spring clips to the
passive monitor’s ± spring clips.
4. Connect the affixed line cord into an AC outlet.
The monitor may accept the appropriate voltage
as indicated on the back panel.
5. Turn on the power switch on the rear panel of the
CRBT monitor
.
6. Connect your device via Bluetooth
[instructions on page 9]...
...OR...
Connect the line-level monitor signal from your
computer, mixer, or other signal source to the input
jacks on the rear panel of the
Creative Reference
Monitor (1⁄4” or RCA). Turn the computer, mixer
or other signal source on.
7. Turn the front panel volume control clockwise until
the monitor “clicks” on and the greatest of all Rings
of Power – the One Ring – surrounding the volume
knob illuminates.
8. Play an audio file and slowly turn the front panel
volume control to a comfortable listening level.

Additional Tidbits of Wisdom
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods.
Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for
information on hearing protection.
•
When you shut down your equipment, turn off the
monitors first to prevent thumps and other noises
generated by any upstream equipment from coming
out the
speakers. When powering up, turn on the
monitors last.
• Save the sales receipt and original packaging in case
you ever need warranty service. See page 15 for details.
