Sets a new affordable standard in studio monitoring and architectural  
Multi-zone speakers systems  
Introduction  
Thank you for choosing the iM05 bi-amplified studio monitor & Architectural multi-zone  
speakers.  
The AMC iM05 is with Balanced and Unbalanced input connectors for Monitoring and  
architectural for fitting up to 500ft CAT5 cable wiring systems like AMC XO, XOi etc.  
AMC is well known for digital audio interface technology, digital converters, audio preamps and  
mixers. Now, after extensive research and development, AMC is proud to present iM05.  
The iM05 was designed and tested by veteran audio engineers to meet your needs in a studio  
monitoring and architectural environment. It is focused on the functional goal of delivering pure,  
original sound without any additional coloration. The iM05 monitor is self-powered, directly  
accepting a line level signal from a variety of sources.  
The Studiophile iM05 is designed to overcome all the limitations of conventional studio  
reference monitors within the digital audio environment and so it will also fit architectural  
applications. This system delivers a wide range frequency response by employing two  
extraordinary drivers and unique crossover technology licensed by AMC. It boasts a stable and  
balanced low-mid frequency response along with a defined mid- and high-frequency response  
as well. Both drivers are magnetically shielded for desktop music production.  
For pro engineers at commercial studios to home studio owners and architectural applications,  
the iM05 sets a new affordable standard in studio monitoring and architectural multi-zone  
speaker systems.  
What's in the Box?  
Your iM05 box contains:  
· Two iM05 speakers  
· Two detachable AC power cords  
· This manual  
· One Cable - RCA to TRS  
iM05 Features  
1.Woofer  
The woofer unit is 5 inches in diameter with a magnetically shielded mineral-filled  
polypropylene cone, high-temperature voice coil and damped rubber surround. It is designed to  
deliver balanced mid- and low- frequency response. Polypropylene is used to react against the  
input signals accurately and to deliver even minimal input precisely while minimizing distortion.  
2.Tweeter  
By employing a specially developed dome with magnetic shielding, the tweeter can deliver  
distortion-free original sound and offer an extremely natural response. It's design minimizes  
reaction time by using a specially shaped dome for excellent delivery, and also minimizes  
resonance by adapting a unique internal damping technology.

3.Sub-Frequency Port  
The air vent hole in the rear panel is called a Sub-Frequency Port and is designed to allow the  
discharge of extreme low frequencies occurring below 60Hz.  
4.Enclosure  
Like the other components, the iM05's enclosure has an important role in shaping the overall  
sonic response. In order to provide more stable performance, the iM05's enclosure employs a  
special high-acoustic efficiency MDF and unique interior reinforcement designed to absorb  
vibration and impact generated under extreme conditions. The custom design on the front  
panel will aid in diffraction and will benefit stereo imaging.  
5.Network & Power Amplifiers  
The active crossover networks and power amplifiers for the iM05 are specially designed for this  
woofer and tweeter. The network properly distributes low, mid, and high frequencies to the  
driver components in order to reduce distortion and loss of sound, thus achieving a naturally  
balanced sound.  
In order to generate powerful, ultra-crisp sound, there are two separate power amplifiers inside  
the iM05 for driving the woofer and tweeter separately in a high-end bi-amp structure. The  
power delivered to the woofer driver at a low-rated distortion is 40W, and 30W is also delivered  
to the tweeter.

1. XLR INPUT: This jack accepts XLR input connections with either balanced or unbalanced  
wiring. The input wiring of an XLR connector should be as follows:  
· XLR PIN 1 Signal ground (Shield)  
· XLR PIN 2 Signal positive (+)  
· XLR PIN 3 Signal negative (-)  
2. TRS INPUT: This jack accepts 1/4" connections with either balanced or unbalanced wiring.  
For balanced wiring, a three-conductor TRS plug is necessary. The input wiring of a TRS  
connector should be as follows:  
· TRS TIP Signal positive (+)  
· TRS RING Signal negative (-)  
· TRS SLEEVE Signal ground (Shield)  
Unbalanced 1/4" wiring can be done with either a two- or three-conductor (TS or TRS) plug.  
A two-conductor (TS) plug automatically grounds the signal negative input, whereas a three-  
conductor (TRS) plug, wired unbalanced, provides the option of leaving the negative input open  
or grounded. We recommend that you ground the unused negative input (this can be done by  
wiring the ring and sleeve of the TRS plug together).  
The TRS input is summed through a balanced input amplifier with the XLR input, allowing both  
inputs to be used simultaneously. Input specifications apply to both.  
3. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION: This label contains the model and specification information.  
4. SUB-FREQUENCY PORT: This port aids in reproduction of very low frequencies by  
discharging frequencies below 60 Hz.  
5. VOLUME CONTROL: Use the volume control to set the output sound pressure from the  
iM05 to proper levels as required.  
6. POWER RECEPTACLE: Accepts a detachable 3-circuit line cord in order to power the  
monitor.  
7. FUSE HOLDER: Holds the external main fuse.  
8. VOLTAGE-SELECT SWITCH: Provides two selections - 115VAC and 230VAC, and should  
be set to match the "house supply" (receptacle) voltage of the country or location in  
which the speaker is used. The 115V setting is correct for the USA, while 230V setting is  
correct for most of the UK and Europe.  
9. POWER SWITCH: This switch turns the monitor on and off.

Installation  
For optimal performance of the iM05, please read the following thoroughly and carefully prior to  
installation.  
Precautions  
Handling: Please do not touch the speaker cones. The iM05 set is packaged in the box tightly,  
so your attention is required when taking the monitors out of the box. To avoid possible damage  
to the speaker units, hold both sides of the monitor in order to pull it out of the box. The  
speaker cones should not be touched in order to avoid damage even after they are out of the  
box.  
Correct Power Operation: Since the iM05 contains its own amplifier, it must be connected to a  
power outlet using the detachable AC cable provided. Before connecting power, please make  
sure that the Voltage-Select Switch located on the speaker's rear panel is set to the appropriate  
position, as described in the rear-panel features list appearing earlier in this manual.  
WARNING! - Use of improper voltage may result in hazardous conditions and/or damage to  
speaker components not covered by speaker warranty.  
Connections: You can use either an XLR balanced cable or TRS balanced/unbalanced cable  
from the input of each iM05 to your corresponding preamp, computer or game console outputs.  
We recommend that you use high-quality balanced or unbalanced cables for input connections.  
Also, ALWAYS turn off the power of the iM05 and turn the volume of the iM05 down to a  
minimum before making the necessary connections.

Studio Monitor Speaker Applications  
Placing the speakers is one of the most important procedures in order to monitor sound  
accurately. To monitor with the iM05's performing to their maximum capability, an  
appropriate listening environment and correct placement are required. Please refer to the  
following for correct iM05 placement.  
1. The two units and the listener should basically align to form a regular triangle. Refer to  
the following diagram.  
2. Position the monitors so that the top of the woofers are level with your ears in a normal  
listening environment. Refer to the following diagram.  
3. Place the iM05's vertically with the woofer on the bottom. Placing the iM05's horizontally  
is not recommended.  
Remarks: DO NOT place any obstacles that may block the flow of air in front or between the  
monitors. Also remove reflective materials such as glass, mirrors or metal from the monitoring  
environment. PLACE THOSE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE PATH OF THE SOUND  
FROM THE iM05's.
