3.5. Volume Mode
• Level adjustment
The maximum input level for balanced (XLR) and unbalanced signals (RCA)
is 8 dBu. Higher levels produce distortion due to the overloading of the
analog to digital converter.
Given that many professional studio devices can produce in excess of 8 dBu,
the LED ring will start blinking whenever the AD converter is overloading.
If that is the case, the output level of the source should be reduced.
• Volume adjustment
Turn the Volume control to adjust the volume. Depending on the LED
mode selected (see LED Mode), the volume will be displayed as a dim/
bright circle or as a dim/bright point.

The control’s response curve is not linear. The increments become finer as
the volume increases:
-80 dB (minimum) to -48 dB:
2 dB
-48 dB to -20 dB: 1 dB
-20 dB to 0 dB (maximum): 0.5 dB
• Mute
To put the monitor in Mute Mode, turn the Volume control counter
clockwise until you reach the minimum level. When the LED on the left
end lights up dimly the Mute Mode is activated.
! To exit the Mute Mode simply turn the control clockwise.
3.6. Settings Menu
Press the control once to enter the Settings menu. Here you can set three
different filters (Low, Desk, High) as well as the LED ring’s behavior. The LED
of the currently active function blinks.
Turn the control to choose the filter or LED mode desired. The blinking
LED indicates the function selected while the steady-on LED indicates the
value assigned to that function.
Press the control to confirm your selection. The blinking will stop once the
selection is confirmed.
Turn the control to adjust the filter or the LED behavior.
When you are satisfied with the setting press the control again to go back
to the Settings menu. You can then select and edit another function.
! To exit the Settings menu press and hold the control for three seconds or
simply wait 10 seconds. The loudspeaker will then return automatically to
the Volume Mode.
3.7. Filters
The filters of the EVE Audio monitors were specially developed to offer you
the possibility of adjusting your monitoring system to the characteristics
of your room. These filters help correct the alterations to the frequency
response produced by the room acoustics and listening distance. Do note
that the corrections of bad room acoustics with filters will only deliver
average results. In any case, you should try to use the filters as little as
possible.
3.8. Low Filter
The Low-Shelf Filter allows you to boost or attenuate frequencies below
300 Hz in 0.5dB steps. Use this filter whenever the acoustics of your room
cause problems in the low frequency range.
