1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your time and interest in the EVE Audio product range.
EVE Audio is a loudspeaker manufacturer based in Berlin, Germany, that
specializes in the development and design of unique studio monitors.
The use of first-class components is our highest priority because we firmly
believe this is the only way to manufacture first-class products.
You have chosen a loudspeaker from our SilverCone SC series. Both models
— SC204 and SC205 — are living proof that small loudspeakers can sound
big. They were conceived as two-way systems for use in home studios, as
well as in professional recording and post-production studios.
These models combine a 4” or 5” SilverCone chassis with the Air Motion
Transformer developed by EVE Audio for the RS series. The loudspeaker
systems are completed by two 50 W amplifiers and high-resolution DSP
technology.
The threads on the bottom allow the SC204 and SC205 to be mounted on
any commercial microphone or loudspeaker stand, while the brackets on
the rear side allow them to be wall mounted. For detailed information refer
to the corresponding chapter in the user’s manual.
We wish you enjoy your new EVE Audio monitor. If you have any questions
regarding our products, do not hesitate to contact your nearest dealer or
get directly in touch with us... We will be more than happy to help you
out!
All the best from Berlin.
The EVE Audio Team
2. QUICK START
If you already have experience with studio monitors, the Quick Start guide
ought to be more than enough to get you started.
For unexperienced users we recommend reading the whole user’s manual
in order to prevent any misuse.
2.1. First Steps
Check the package components (loudspeaker, user’s manual, power cord,
grid, rubber feet).
Check the setting of the DIP Switches (variable).
2.2. Speaker Connection
Connect one of the monitor inputs on the rear side (RCA or XLR) to the line
output of a playback source, for instance an audio interface. The output
level should be as low as possible.
2.3. Powering On
Engage the Power switch on the rear side of the loudspeaker to turn it on
or off.
The LEDs around the Volume control on the front panel will light up
clockwise. If the LED on the right end is dimly lit, this indicates that the
loudspeaker is in Standby Mode. Press the Volume control to turn the
loudspeaker on. If you turn the Volume control counter clockwise until the
LED on the left end lights up dimly the loudspeaker will be muted.
Increase the output level on the source device until the LED ring starts to
blink, then reduce the output level a bit. The maximum operating level for
the input (i.e. the analog to digital converter) is now set optimally. To set
the desired listening volume use the Volume control on the loudspeaker.
The LED ring indicates the volume setting. If the LED ring starts to blink,
reduce the output level on the signal source.
