Using the Artesia EZA - MC2 Passive Stereo Monitor Controller is a breeze. First, connect your audio sources to the appropriate inputs, like balanced XLR, 1/4', RCA or the unbalanced 3.5mm phone jack. Then, plug in your studio monitor speakers to the outputs. To adjust the volume, simply turn the large volume knob. You can make precise adjustments in 1 - decibel steps. If you need to switch between two different input sources, it's easy to do. The mute switch comes in handy when you're recording, concentrating or taking a break. Just flip it to turn everything off. The mono switch helps you check your mix and detect any phase issues. As for maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it down.
