Setup
The configuration and placement of your BX3 monitors on speaker stands or your desktop
workstation may affect the performance of the speakers. Use the following tips to achieve the best
performance out of your BX3 monitors.
Tip: If possible, place your BX3 monitors on speaker stands instead of your desktop. Desks tend to
resonate sympathetically at low frequencies and may adversely affect the bass response of your
monitors. If speaker stands are not possible due to space restrictions and you notice a buildup in
bass, try placing the monitors on isolation pads to acoustically de-couple the monitors from the
desk.
Precautions
• Correct Power Operation: Since the BX3 contains amplifiers, it must be connected to a power
outlet. Before connecting power, please make sure that the Vol/Power knob is set to the off
position.
• Foam Feet: In order to maximize physical stability, we recommend you use the provided foam
feet on the bottoms of the BX3 monitors.
• Connecting to a Computer Sound Card or Other Audio Output Device: Your BX3 speakers
have a variety of inputs for use with a multitude of devices. Before connecting the BX3
speakers, make sure the power from the computer or other output device has been turned off
and the BX3 speakers are also turned off. Connect the RCA or 1/4" (6.35 mm) input jacks to the
corresponding output connectors of a computer sound card, portable music player, etc. You
can also use the included 1/8" (3.5 mm) TRS stereo aux cable to connect a secondary audio
device to the Aux input on the front of the BX3.
