Int
ernal Crossover Bypass:
Lets you set the crossover for your satellite speakers in your preamplifier,
surround-sound receiver, or processor while bypassing the internal crossover in the TR-1D and TR-3D.
This method, detailed further in the manual, is ideal if you’re using compact speakers in your system.
There can also be benefit to this method even if you’re using larger speakers, as we’ll also detail below.
The result is improved integration between the satellite speakers and subwoofer with dramatically
improved bass performance at and around the crossover point.
Note:
For our purpose here, when we say “satellite speaker,” we’re not only talking about small
speakers, we’re referring to any size speaker used as the left or right in a stereo system or in any of the
L/C/R or surround positions in a surround sound system.
Bass EQ:
Provides the ability to maximize the TR-1D / TR-3D’s performance in your room by giving you
the option of adding 3 or 6dB more bass. Remember, more bass isn’t always the goal with a
high-quality audio system. When properly set up, your TR subwoofer should effectively add significant
deep bass impact to music or movie special effects without calling undue attention to itself. It will
simply blend in with the output of the satellite speakers and not sound like a separate entity.
As often happens with someone who wants accurate music reproduction, you may find that 3 or 6dB
of bass boost is great for movie special effects but less or no bass boost works best for music. We
suggest that you experiment with the Bass Boost control to find your preferred setting(s). To some
extent this will depend on the placement of the subwoofer in the room, and your personal preferences
as to what sounds right to you.
Enclosure Design:
AGA has built an enviable reputation using innovative speaker enclosures to
eliminate the typical problems inherent in traditional speaker-box designs. The cylindrical shape and
metal construction of the TR series subwoofers makes for an elegant and extremely rigid housing. The
result is exceptional bass performance from compact subs whose output capability and accuracy belies
their size and price.
