INTRODUCTION: Thank you for your selection of the A-20. Your studio monitors are a critical element in the countless decisions made during recording, mixing, mastering and other key aspects of audio production. They must deliver a transparent, neutral and revealing assessment of sound, so that you have the information you need to choose and place microphones, set Eq’s, balance mixes... In other words, deliver exceptional product. The A-20 is capable of state of the art sonic resolution and flexi

USING THE A-20 CONTROL FUNCTIONS: The A-20 controls are designed for utility and repeatability under varying conditions. You should find the effects of the controls sonically subtle, with little impact on the basic character and accuracy of the speaker. We encourage experimentation to fine tune the system to the requirements of your particular installation. 1 +4 MF +11 -3 POWER 2 0 M -10 NF FF 100 MODE PHONES SPL VAC TMP SENSITIVITY BOUNDARY POSITION Control A-20 Amplifier Fig. 5 A-20 Control Am

BOUNDARY CONTROL: Reflective boundaries, such as floors, walls, even table tops, reinforce a speaker’s low frequency output. Conversely, placing speakers out into a room decreases bass response. The highest low frequency output is with the BOUNDARY control in the “0” position, which assumes no significant boundary reinforcement is present. Each control step attenuates low frequencies by 1.5 dB (at 50 Hz), with rapidly decreasing effect above 300 Hz. Refer to the diagram in Fig. 6 for information

SPEAKER PLACEMENT: The A-20 Monitor System is intended to provide consistent performance over a wide range of placement situations. This is accomplished through the use of electrical controls, wide dispersion drivers, advanced enclosure design and carefully chosen crossover characteristics. Nevertheless, it is always worth investing time and effort experimenting with optimum loudspeaker placement. In all cases, A-20 Monitors should be set up symmetrically equidistant from the listening position;
