Setting Switches
Once the speakers are wired, mounted, and positioned correctly, use
the EQ switches to fi ne-tune the speakers based on local environ-
mental variables such as hardwood fl oors, thick draperies, etc. The
two EQ switches are labelled “
EQ
” (Equalizer) and “
BASS
”. The
EQ
switch compensates for the “liveness” or “deadness” of the room
while the
BASS
switch cuts bass by aproximately - 20dB.
EQ Switch
Select the
W
(Warm) position on the EQ switch to compensate for
“live” rooms where sound bounces and refl ects from hard surfaces
like tile or hardwood fl oors, large glass surfaces/windows, stone or
brick walls, etc. Select the
B
(Bright) position to compensate for
“dead” rooms where sound is absorbed by soft materials like heavy
drapes, thick carpeting, upholstered furniture, etc. Use the
N
(Neutral)
position if no compensation is required.
BASS Switch
Select the
+
position for normal bass operation if the speaker is used
full-range without a subwoofer. Select the
0
position to reduce bass
frequencies by aprox. 20dB. The
0
option is designed to protect the
the speaker during high volume operation and should only be used
when a subwoofer is present in the system.
