NOTICE

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/damage to the product or damage to other property, follow the notices below.

■ Handling and maintenance

• Do not obstruct the hole (bass reﬂex port) on the back of the speaker unit.

This reduces the quality of the sound.

• Do not use the product in the vicinity of a TV, radio, or other electric products.

Otherwise, the product, TV, or radio may generate noise.

• Do not expose the product to excessive dust or vibration, or extreme cold or heat, in order to prevent

the possibility of unstable operation or damage to the internal components.

• Do not install in locations where temperature changes are severe.

Otherwise, condensation may form on the inside or the surface of the product, causing it to break or deform the wood.

Do not leave condensation on the wood; wipe immediately with a soft cloth.

• If there is reason to believe that condensation might have occurred on the inside, leave the product

for several hours without turning on the power until the condensation has completely dried out, in

order to prevent possible damage.

• Do not touch the speaker driver unit, since it might cause malfunction.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the product, since this might cause alteration or

discoloration.

• Clean the product with a dry and soft cloth. Do not use a chemically infused wiping cloth, chemical

products or the like to clean this product,

as these may cause discoloration or deterioration.

Information

■ About functions bundled with the product

XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 standard):

Cables

You’ll need to acquire appropriate cables to connect the HS series monitor speakers to your audio interface or other

source equipment.

• Short, high-quality cables

Use high-quality cables of the shortest practical length. The longer the cable, the more chance there is that noise will

creep in to degrade your sound.

• Balanced cables

Balanced cables are more resistant to noise than unbalanced cables. If you have to use unbalanced cables because

the source equipment only has unbalanced outputs, be sure to use the shortest possible unbalanced cables.

Connectable cables

• XLR type

XLR type connectors are widely used in professional audio equipment and installations. The XLR type connectors

provided on the HS series speakers are primarily intended for use with balanced connections.

Pin 2: hot (+)

Pin 3: cold (−)

Pin 1: ground

Pin 3: cold (−)

Pin 2: hot (+)

• Phone type

Phone type connectors can be used for both unbalanced and balanced connections.

Cables ﬁtted with TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone plugs are necessary for balanced connections to the HS series

speakers. The construction of TRS phone plugs is basically the same as stereo phone plugs.

For unbalanced connections, connect standard mono phone plug cables to the HS speaker phone connectors.

• RCA plugs

You can use the included stereo mini-to-RCA cable. This is an unbalanced connection.

• Stereo mini plugs

Use an audio cable with stereo mini plugs.

Balanced connections

These effectively cancel noise picked up from external sources. Balanced connections

allow for longer cable runs that would probably otherwise result in more noise being

picked up.

Unbalanced connections

Commonly used to connect electronic musical instruments and guitars, etc., to ampliﬁ-

cation equipment. If your cable runs do not extend past one or two meters, unbalanced

cables can probably be used without any problems.

HS4, HS3 Owner’s Manual

Setting Up for Superior Sound

This product features two speakers: an active (with built-in ampliﬁer) speaker L and a passive speaker R. To monitor the

sound accurately, position the L speaker angled towards your left side and the R speaker angled towards your right side.

Speaker L is marked on the rear panel as “LEFT”.

60°

L R

NOTICE

• Do not set the speakers up with the front side of the bafﬂes facing down.

Keep the following points in mind when setting up your monitor speakers.

■ Position the speakers away from walls or corners

Ideally, the speakers should be located away from walls or corners. In situations where it is not possible to position the

speakers a sufﬁcient distance from walls or corners, the ROOM CONTROL switch can be used compensate for excessive

bass. As you move the speaker closer to walls or corners, a higher compensation setting may be required to achieve nat-

ural sounding response ([0] → [−2] → [−4]).

■ Position the left and right speakers symmetrically.

The left and right speakers should be positioned as symmetrically as possible in relation to the room. In other words, the

left and right speakers should be the same distance from the rear wall and the respective left and right walls.

■ The optimum listening position is at the apex of an equilateral triangle.

For the most accurate sound and balance, position yourself at the apex of an equilateral triangle formed by the left and

right speakers and yourself, with the speakers angled inward so that they’re facing you.

■ Position the tweeters at ear height.

High frequencies are quite directional, so for the most accurate monitoring the speakers should be set up so that the

tweeters are at approximately the same height as your ears when you’re seated at the listening position.

Controls and Connectors

Rear

Air blowing out of the bass reﬂex ports is normal, and often occurs when the speaker is handling program material with

heavy bass content.

The shape of the plug differs depending on your locale.

Speaker Input and Response Control

1. ROOM CONTROL switch

Adjusts the speaker’s low-frequency response. This switch can be used to compensate for exaerated low-fre-

quency response that can be caused by reﬂections in some listening environments. Setting the switch to the [0]

position produces a ﬂat frequency response. The [−2 dB] setting attenuates

the range below 500 Hz by 2 dB, and the [−4 dB] setting attenuates the range below 500 Hz by −4 dB.

2. HIGH TRIM switch

Adjusts the speaker’s high-frequency response. Setting the switch to the [0] position produces a ﬂat frequency

response. The [+2 dB] setting boosts the range above 2 kHz by 2 dB, while the [−2 dB] setting attenuates the range

above 2 kHz by −2 dB.

3. ST MINI chassis connector

This is an unbalanced input connector used to plug in a stereo mini-plug cable. Connect your smartphone or other

device here.

4. LINE 2 (L/R) chassis connectors

These sockets are unbalanced RCA input chassis connectors (L/R). Connect devices such as a computer, MP3 play-

er or CD player here. You can use the included stereo mini-to-RCA cable.

HS4, HS3 Owner’s Manual

5. LINE 1 (L/R) chassis connectors

These balanced input combo connectors are compatible with XLR connectors and phone plugs. Connect a line-

level synthesizer, mixer or audio interface here.

6. OUTPUT TO RIGHT SPEAKER

Connect the included speaker cable here to transmit signals from the left speaker to the right speaker.

7. [ / ] (standby/on) switch

Turns the power of this product standby/on. Flip the switch to the [ ] side to turn the power on, and ﬂip the switch to the

[] side to turn the power standby.

NOTICE

• Flipping the [ / ] switch to standby/on repeatedly in quick succession may cause the product to malfunction. Wait at

least ﬁve seconds after turning the switch to standby before you turn it on again.

• This product features a built-in protective circuit. Excessive input signals will activate the protective circuit and shut

down the power. If this happens, turn this switch to standby and wait at least three seconds before turning it on again.

• A small amount of electrical current still ﬂows through this product’s circuitry even after you’ve turned the [ / ]

switch to standby (the switch being in the [ ] position). If you are not going to use this product for a long time, make

sure to unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

NOTE

• There is a [ ]/volume knob on the front panel of speaker L, which you must also turn on when you want to use the

speakers.

8. Power cord

Connect this cord to an AC outlet.

cator goes dark).

NOTICE

• Turning the [ ]/volume knob to standby/on repeatedly in quick succession may cause the product to malfunction.

Wait at least ﬁve seconds after turning the power/volume knob to standby before you turn it on again.

• This product features a built-in protective circuit. Excessive input signals will activate the protective circuit and shut

down the power. If this happens, turn the power switch on the rear panel of this product off and wait at least three

seconds before turning it on again.

• A small amount of electrical current still ﬂows through this product’s circuitry, even after you’ve turned the [ ]/volume

knob to standby and the indicator goes dark. If you are not going to use this product for a long time, make sure to

unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
