How do I adjust for room acoustics?
The D3V is equipped with DSP-powered room acoustics switches on the rear panel. These allow you to tailor the speaker's output to compensate for common acoustic issues related to desk placement or proximity to walls.
What type of inputs do the D3V speakers have?

Troubleshooting
No sound from speakers
Check that the power adapter is securely connected to both the speaker and a working power outlet. Verify the audio source is connected correctly (USB-C or TRS cables) and that the volume is turned up on both the source and the speakers. Ensure the correct input is selected on the speakers.
Distorted or weak bass
Ensure the speakers are not placed directly against a wall or in a corner, as this can affect bass response. Try adjusting the DSP room tuning switches. Check that the audio source is sending a strong enough signal.
Humming or buzzing noise
Try using balanced TRS cables for analogue connections, as they are less susceptible to interference. Ensure all cables are securely connected. If using USB-C, try a different USB port or cable. Experiment with different power outlets, potentially using a power conditioner.
High frequencies sound harsh
Adjust the DSP room tuning switches to compensate for room acoustics. Ensure the tweeters are positioned at ear level. Try lowering the treble slightly via your audio source or mixer if available.

Care:
- Keep the speaker grilles clean to prevent dust buildup on the drivers.
