XLR Balanced Connection

 
Assure that the power switch of the BX8 D2 is turned off and that the volume control of the BX8 
D2 is turned down to a minimum. Connect the male end of an XLR balanced cable to the 
balanced input of the BX8 D2 (refer to the following diagram for balanced connection). 
 

TRS Balanced/Unbalanced Connection 

Assure that the power switch of the BX8 D2 is turned to off and that the volume control of the 
BX8 D2 is turned down to a minimum. Connect the male end of a TRS balanced or TS 
unbalanced cable to the TRS input of the BX8 D2 (refer to the following diagram for TRS 
connection). 
 

Connecting to Preamp or Computer Outputs 

 
Before connecting, make sure the output device's power has been turned off. Plug the XLR 
balanced, TRS balanced or TS unbalanced cable to the corresponding output connectors of a 
pre

‑

amplifier, computer or game console. 

Speaker Placement 

 
Placing the speakers is one of the most important 
procedures in order to monitor sound accurately. To 
monitor with the BX8 D2s performing to their 
maximum capability, an appropriate listening 
environment and correct placement are required. 
Please refer to the following for correct BX8 D2 
placement. 
 
1.

The two units and the listener should basically 
align to form a regular triangle. Refer to the 
following diagram. 

2.

Position the monitors so that the top of the 
woofers are level with your ears in a normal 
listening environment. Refer to the following 
diagram. 

3.

Place the monitors vertically with the woofer on 
the bottom. Placing the BX8 D2 horizontally is 
not recommended. 

Remarks:

 DO NOT place any obstacles that may 

block the flow of air in front or between the 
monitors. Also remove reflective materials such as 
glass, mirrors or metal from the monitoring 
environment. PLACE THOSE MATERIALS AWAY 
FROM THE PATH OF THE SOUND FROM THE 
BX8 D2s.
