3.3. The Grid
In order to protect the tweeter, your EVE Audio monitors are supplied with
a metal grid, which has no impact on the sound. The grid is attached to the
tweeter by means of magnetic attraction.
Be careful not to damage the folded tweeter diaphragm when placing the
grid:
Wrong grid position < > Right grid position
Hold the grille with your fingers parallel to the front side of the monitor.
The perforated hexagon must exhibit two horizontal sides. Make sure that
the grille remains parallel to the front side.
Draw the grille close to the tweeter. The tweeter‘s magnetic field will attract
and fix the grille, which can always be adjusted later if needed.

Standby mode | Volume mode (-10 dB) | Settings menu (Low Filter @ -2 dB)
3.5. Powering on/off: Standby Mode
Press and hold the control three seconds in order to put the monitor in
Standby mode. The volume will decrease gradually while the LED ring
lights up once around the Volume control. Afterwards, the LED on the right
end will remain dimly lit and the power consumption is reduced to 1 watt.
! To exit the Standby mode press briefly the Volume control once again. The
level will increase gradually.
3.6. Volume Mode
• Level Adjustment
The maximum input level for balanced (XLR) and unbalanced signals (RCA)
is +7 dBu or +22 dBu, depending on the position of the Max. Input switch
on the rear panel (see DIP Switches). Higher levels produce distortion due
to the overloading of the analog to digital converter.
Given that some professional studio devices can produce in excess of
+22 dBu, the LED ring will start blinking whenever the AD converter is
overloading. If that is the case, the output level of the source should be
reduced.
