Fostex PM0.4 - Manual (Page 5)

Once the studio monitors have been placed in their final location, it is time to proceed to connecting your
made using RCA or TRS connectors. The gain control on the back of the monitor allows continuously variable
adjustments to match most input types of line level signals (-10dBV for RCA un-balanced).
The TRS input is balanced and is also compatible with unbalanced sources, although this may require an
adapter. The connection of the PM0.4 to the console/digital workstation should be done in the following order.
Setup Instructions continued
Back Panel Overview
Step 1: Make sure that all equipment has been powered down.
Step 2: Confirm that all gain controls, on the monitor and the source, are set to the minimum setting.
Step 3: Connect the source to the PM0.4 monitor.
Step 4: Power up the all source equipment and then turn on the PM0.4 last.
Step 5: Set the gain of both monitors at medium setting and slowly bring up the gain of the console.
Step 6: Adjust the gain of both monitors for balance and for best signal to noise ratio
Once the above steps have been completed, you are ready to use your PM0.4 monitors. It is recommended
that you now play some familiar audio material and make any final adjustments, as far as placement or
level, to get the optimum performance in your monitoring environment.
1. Line (RSA) and TRS Input
The TRS is an electronically balanced input and
the line input is unbalanced input. They are
compatible with general line level input signals.
2. Continuously variable gain control
This control adjusts the input level to the internal
amplifiers.
3. Heatsink
The heatsink dissipates heat from the amplifier. It
is important the heatsink receives proper
ventilation and is not placed near any sources of
heat.
4. Power Switch
Turns power to the amplifier section on or off.
On - position is the spot side.
5. AC Power Cord
This line cord provides the AC power
to the product. Damage to equioment
may occur if improper line voltage is
used. (See voltage marking on label)
