9 ADJUSTMENTS
The Vintage Series is provided with two adjustment controls on the front panel, to achieve
optimal performance in terms of both the listening environment and listener preference.
The upper ‘Energy’ control alters the level of signal fed to the tweeter, from the crossover
point upwards, giving control over how bright the presentation sounds (Fig. 9).
The lower ‘Presence’ control only affects the lower treble region of 2.5 - 5.0kHz, and
influences articulation and vocal clarity and having an effect on image depth (Fig. 10).
Start with both controls in the central (level) position, and make small adjustments with well
recorded programme material that you are familiar with. Achieving the correct presentation
is equivalent to focusing the lens on a camera, to achieve the most realistic sound-staging
depth.
