Introduction / General
What is so special with ELAC Active Monitor AM 150?
With an ELAC complete active speaker you got a full-fledged product which can universally be connected to many different sources,
such as CD player, radio, streaming client or notebook computer. But it is also suitable for the professional or semi-professional use (as
recording monitor e.g. on a mixing console).
Because of its compact size, the AM 150 can be used in all situations where high level sound quality is demanded, without the need of
an additional power amp.
Connection facilities
ELAC powered speakers are supplied with connections to nearly all kinds of audio sources.
The following sketch shows some possibilities.
Many audio sources provide outputs designed for headphones.
This output is not only suited for connection to headphones but also for general line level use such as the ELAC powered speaker. A
suitable adaptor from phone plug 3.5 mm to RCA jacks is included.
Using the headphone output has serious advantages compared to the alternative "Line out".
First you can adjust the signal volume via remote or direct control. Second, the devices own internal loudspeakers are switched off
(muted) by inserting the phone plug, allowing the ELAC powered speaker the audio reproduction alone.
