ARES Operation
ARES sends test signals to the speakers and uses the included microphone to receive the
resulting speaker output. An internal 32 bit dual core processor in the Evolution 707
evaluates the incoming information to determine the optimal settings for the various
parameters. It is normal for the test signals to vary in volume and tone, and move from
speaker to speaker.

Connect the supplied microphone to the microphone cable.
Be sure that the
microphone cable has a blue sheath at the Evolution 707 end
