DESIGN
What makes Alpha 80 Evo distinctive?
Analogue inputs and setup trim
XLR, TRS and RCA inputs support common line sources. Rear shelving controls can adjust tonal balance, while bass integration still depends on the room and placement.
SYSTEM SETUP
Connections and placement
Source and volume control
- Use a compatible XLR, TRS or RCA line-level connection from a DAC or preamplifier with volume control, a monitor controller or an audio interface. Confirm output level and volume control before connecting. Amplification is built in; do not connect a power amplifier’s speaker output.
Room and listening position
- Match left/right placement around the listening position and check reflections from desks and nearby walls. Use measurement to assess the bass response at the seat.
