5 TRUTH B2031A/B2030A User Manual
1. Introduction
The TRUTH features two separate ampliers for bass and high frequencies,
sporting loads of power reserve. On the bass end, a long-excursion woofer
embedded in a sturdy cast-aluminum casing springs into action. The scope
is broadened downward by using a special bass reex system. In the upper
frequency range, a specially developed dome tweeter provides for subtle signal
reproduction. The chassis and the ampliers are protected from overload using
a sophisticated circuitry. The speakers are magnetically shielded, so you can use
your TRUTH near computer monitors or TV sets. The audio signal is separated
using an active crossover that guarantees accurate frequency separation and
perfect tuning of both speakers among each other.
We recommend that you experiment with your TRUTH away from the
pressuresofa recording session, in order to get a feel for it. It will be a good
ideato listen to your favorite CD’s over the TRUTH, so that you can get an
impression of the neutral sound this speaker produces—which might be
somewhat unusualat rst!
The following user’s manual is intended to familiarize you with the
unit’s control elements, so that you can master all the functions.
After having thoroughly read the user’s manual, store it at a safe
place for future reference.
Caution
The TRUTH is capable of producing extreme volumes. Please bear in
mind, that high sound pressures do not only temporarily damage your
sense of hearing, but can also cause permanent damage. Be careful to
select a suitable volume.
1.1 Before you get started

The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains three triangular

adjacent to these markings is the voltage to which your unit has been set up,
andcan be altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°.
Caution

manufactured only for use with 120 V!
If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the fuse accordingly.
The correct value of the fuse needed can be found in the

Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without
exception! The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the
