The illustration above shows another use for CR Series Reference Monitors. Perhaps a friend created
a playlist on their smart phone and wants to share it. With great hesitation, you finally oblige.
Everyone has that one friend with terrible taste in music. We know, it happens.
In this example, simply connect the (included) cable from the smart phone’s output/headphone
1/8" jack to the 1/8" aux input on the front panel of the powered CR Series Reference Monitor.
Next we’ll want to connect the passive speaker. The included black (–) and red (+) speaker wires
should be connected from the powered monitor’s ± spring clips to the passive monitor’s ± spring
clips as detailed by the dotted lines above:
Connect black (–) to black (–) and red (+) to red (+).
Almost there! Move the ‘Powered Speaker Position Select’ switch to either the “L” or “R” position
based on whether the powered reference monitor – the one with the volume knob – will be on
the left or right side.
Now position the monitors where you would like them. Play audio through the smart phone making
sure that the volume of the smart phone and monitors are above “0”.
Last step: move the monitors around until the optimal sound has been achieved and adjust volume
to taste.
Optional: plugging a pair of headphones into the 1/8" headphones jack auto-defeats the speaker
output. The front panel volume control then controls the level going to the phones.
