1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your time and interest in the EVE Audio product range.
EVE Audio is a loudspeaker manufacturer based in Berlin, Germany, that
specializes in the development and design of unique studio monitors.
The use of first-class components is our highest priority because we firmly
believe this is the only way to manufacture first-class products.
You have chosen a loudspeaker from our Silvercone SC series. Both models
— SC407 and SC408 — were conceived as four-way systems.
An additional mid-range driver guarantees an excellent definition in the
mid frequencies, which raises the four-way system to a completely different
listening level. The two woofers reproduce the exact same frequency
range, while the mid-range driver and tweeter cover consecutive ranges.
Due to this design, the SC407/SC408 are symmetrically mirrored.
In a horizontal arrangement, the SC40X is ideal as fully symmetrical central
loudspeaker.
Both models feature EVE Audio‘s Air Motion Transformer taken from
the RS series. The mid-range driver and the two woofers sport a high-
quality chassis developed by EVE Audio. The lot is completed by the
implementation of high-resolution DSP technology plus powerful and
efficient amplifiers.
We wish you a lot of fun with your EVE Audio monitors. If you have any
questions regarding our products, do not hesitate to contact your nearest
dealer or get directly in touch with us... We will be more than happy to help
you out!
All the best from Berlin.
The EVE Audio Team
2. QUICK START
If you already have experience with studio monitors, the Quick Start guide
ought to be more than enough to get you started.
For unexperienced users we recommend reading the whole user‘s manual
in order to prevent any misuse.
2.1. First Steps
Check the package components (loudspeaker, user‘s manual, power cord,
grille, rubber feet).
Check the voltage setting (see „Mains Voltage Selector“).
Check the setting of the DIP Switches (variable).
2.2. Speaker Connection
Connect one of the monitor inputs on the rear side (RCA or XLR) to the line
output of a playback source, for instance, an audio interface. The output
level should be as low as possible.
2.3. Powering On
Engage the Power switch on the rear side of the loudspeaker to turn it on
or off.
The LEDs around the Volume control on the front panel will light up
clockwise. If the LED on the right end is dimly lit, this indicates that the
loudspeaker is in Standby mode. Press the Volume control to turn the
loudspeaker on. If you turn the Volume control counter clockwise until the
LED on the left end lights up dimly the loudspeaker will be muted.
Increase the output level on the source device until the LED ring starts to
blink, then reduce the output level a bit. The maximum operating level for
the input (i.e. the analog to digital converter) is now set optimally. To set
the desired listening volume use the Volume control on the loudspeaker.
The LED ring indicates the volume setting. If the LED ring starts to blink,
reduce the output level on the signal source.
