ADJUSTING THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The output of the woofer and tweeter can be adjusted to suit any environment. In general, we recommend leaving all of
the adjustments at the flat (0db.) setting. To determine which settings will be appropriate for your speakers you may need
to experiment until the desired sound is achieved. Use the Chart below to determine the result of the setting you select.
SELECTING A SETTING
To select a setting simply use a finger to move the switches mounted on the front of the speaker to the desired setting
(See
Figure 7).
FREQUENCY SETTINGS
When selected the settings will have the following result:
-3db. : Reduces the loudness of the selected frequency
(bass & treble).
0db. : The selected frequency (bass & treble) remains at
neutral level.
+3db.: Increases the loudness of the selected frequency
(bass & treble).
When adjusting the bass frequency the impedance will be effected as indicated below. Be sure to stay within the imped-
ance guidelines of the amplifier you will be using to power your system.
-3db. : The impedance is 8ohm
0 db. : The impedance is 6ohm
+3db: The impedance is 4ohm

PAINTING THE SPEAKERS
If you plan to paint your speakers, we recommend that it be done prior to installation. If you decide to paint your speakers
sometime in the future, it is best to remove them by simply reversing the steps for Speaker Installation listed above. When
painting the speakers the paint masks provided in the carton must be installed in place of the grill. The grills can also be
painted. However, great care should be taken not to clog the holes as this will greatly reduce the sound quality of the
speakers. Before painting the grills, remove the under grill material. Place this material back in place once the grill has been
painted. SpeakerCraft recommends only light spray painting using 5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint. Do not paint grills
while they are attached to the speaker. If it is necessary to paint the under grill material, follow the same procedure used to
paint the grills.
SPEAKER ADJUSTMENT
ADJUSTING THE AIM MECHANISM
The woofer can be pivoted to best direct the sound towards the listener. The woofer easily rotates and pivots to almost any
position desired. Simply apply pressure with fingertips to the outer surface of the WavePlane
TM
and move the speaker to the
desired position
(See Figure 5).
ADJUSTING THE PIVOTING TWEETER
Once the woofer is positioned further refinement can be made be pointing the tweeter towards the listener. Push gently at
the edge of the tweeter to point the tweeter in the desired direction.
(See Figure 6).
