Using the Studio Monitor
The Devine RX Series studio monitors include three models available in black and white. These are the ideal
monitors for producers looking for a balanced and neutral sound so they can properly assess their mixes.
The RX Series includes 5", 6" and 8" models, referring to the size of the built-in woofer. The differences in
size and matching power capacities make sure the perfect monitor can be selected for any preferred style of
music. The 5" RX-5A monitors are ideal as compact reference speakers for smaller studios, while the 8" RX-
8As are designed for larger rooms and offer enhanced bass reproduction thanks to the bigger woofer.
The soft-dome tweeter and woofer ensure a balanced reference sound intended to simulate smaller 2.0
speaker systems, much like the ones your listeners have, either next to their computer or built into their
television.
Each model can be expanded with a separately-available subwoofer to simulate 2.1 set-ups with a bigger
subwoofer, much like sound-bars, Hi-Fi systems and computer-related audio gear.
Warning Before Use
The Devine RX studio monitors are capable of producing volume levels that can cause temporary or
permanent hearing damage. Use these units with care and keep the volume at a reasonable level when
possible. The volume should ideally be set to a comfortable level when listening to music.
Devine cannot be held liable for any injuries or damage that may result from the use of this product.
Connecting A Set of Monitors
The Devine RX studio monitors can be set up on any flat and stable surface, usually next to your computer
or laptop with one speaker placed on the left side and the other on the right.
After the speakers have been positioned as preferred, plug the power cable into your monitors, then connect
up any correct signal cable, depending on the audio source. If you don't have the right cables, you can
contact your retailer for advise.
Connecting an audio source is done using ONE of the possible connections. In this case, that includes
balanced 3-pin XLR, which is the recommended option because the plug is unable to rotate inside the socket
and doesn't short-circuit when inserted. Naturally, the other inputs can be used as an alternative. It is
nonetheless advisable to work with balanced signals as much as possible. These are less sensitive to signal
interference caused by external factors.
Important: Always make sure to use only ONE connection at a time, so either XLR, the TRS jacks OR the
RCA inputs.
General Use
Placement and Positioning
Studio monitors are highly directionally sensitive speakers that come with a so-called 'sweet-spot' in terms of
sound dispersion, especially when it comes to the high frequencies. This is the position where the monitor
sounds best relative to where you sit and will give you the most accurate sound reproduction.
The ideal set-up can be achieved by creating an equilateral triangle where you are the third point. If your set-
up allows for it, make sure each corner covers a 60° angle. The distance between each speaker and the
listener should be approximately 1 metre for near-field studio monitors like the Devine RX Series models.
