Studiophile BX8a
English
Unbalanced 1/4” wiring can be done with either a two- or three-conductor (TS or TRS) plug. A two-conductor
(TS) plug automatically grounds the signal negative input, whereas a three-conductor (TRS) plug, wired
unbalanced, provides the option of leaving the negative input open or grounded. We recommend that
you ground the unused negative input (this can be done by wiring the ring and sleeve of the TRS plug
together).
The TRS input is summed through a balanced input amplifier with the XLR input, allowing both inputs to
be used simultaneously. Input specifications apply to both.

4. SUB-FREQUENCY VENT PORT: This port aids in reproduction of very low frequencies by discharging
frequencies below 30Hz.
5. VOLUME CONTROL: Use the volume control to set the output sound pressure from the BX8a to
proper levels as required.
6. POWER RECEPTACLE: Accepts a detachable 3-circuit line cord in order to power the monitor.
7. FUSE HOLDER: Holds the external main fuse.
8. VOLTAGE-SELECT SWITCH: Provides two selections, 115V AC and 230V AC, and should be set to
match the “house supply” (receptacle) voltage of the country or location in which the speaker is
used. The 115V setting is correct for the USA and Japan, while the 230V setting is correct for most
of the UK and Europe.
9. POWER SWITCH: This switch turns the monitor on and off.
