Audio System Installation

To ensure optimum speaker positioning, the satellites must form a 60-degree angle with each other and the same angle with the user. Also, the listening height must be adjusted at a level located between the tweeter and the wide-band medium speaker.

Elaborate Design

The XPS 2.080 DJ Monitor speakers have been developed with the assistance of DJing experts, and have been subjected to in-depth testing with audio professionals. Hercules engineers have taken great care when designing the XPS 2.080 DJ Monitor in a professional anechoic room. this research enabled them to fine-tune the wide-range medium speaker's Kevlar texture and the tweeter's silk dome, to optimize the position, size and shape of the vents and to calculate the optimum curvature of the satellites' front face, in order to obtain a sharp and balanced sound flow. Only the best materials are used, providing an outstanding listening experience.

Technology

• Speaker
  Unit reproducing an acoustic wave from an electrical signal which vibrates one or more membranes, the movements creating a sound wave.
• 2.0 Stereo
  System for transmitting sound over two channels = stereo.
• Satellite
  Satellite is the name given to a speaker which does not reproduce bass frequencies: this speaker is therefore the satellite to a subwoofer. In an X.1 kit (2.1, 4.1, 5.1 , 6.1 or 7.1), the digit before the point 1, i.e. the 2, 4, 5, 6 or 7, represents the number of satellites in the speaker kit.
• RCA
  An RCA connector (also known as a phono connector) is a connector used to transfer analog signals. Analog audio: RCA is the most commonly used connector for connecting Hi-Fi components to one another. Each RCA plug transfers one channel: the left channel via a white RCA plug, the right channel via a red RCA plug. Composite video: composite video is generally transmitted via a yellow RCA plug. RCA is also used to transfer a stereo or 5.1 (Dolby Digital or DTS) digital S/PDIF signal over a single connector, between a DVD player and a Dolby decoder, for example. An RCA connector is composed of a circular central pin 2mm in diameter, which carries the signal, insulated inside of a ring which surrounds the central pin without touching it, at a distance of 2mm from the pin.
• Line Input
  Analog audio input designed to receive an unamplified sound signal. There are two line levels: the general public line level, at -10dBv: this is the signal output level of a Hi-Fi component connected to an amplifier via a connector known as a line input. The professional line level, at +4dBu, is much more powerful, and is used to connect studio or public-address (PA) equipment.
• Watts RMS
  Power in Watts RMS represents the continuous electrical power delivered by an amplifier to speakers.
• Watts Peak Power
  Watts Peak Power represents the peak electrical power delivered by an amplifier to speakers.
• Stereo
  Abbreviation of stereophonic. A stereophonic signal is a signal transmitted over two channels: one channel on the left and one channel on the right, whereby the sound transmitted is different on each channel.
• Magnetic Shielding
  Magnetic shielding shields against the magnetic field generated by speakers, for example. If a speaker is touching a CRT screen (television or computer), magnetic shielding is necessary to avoid disturbing the display.
• Amplifier
  An electrical device which boosts an audio signal's power in relation to its input level.
