HF Adjustment

The ‘HF Adjust’ A and B terminals control the

high frequency output of the loudspeaker.

This facility allows the user to adjust the

‘brightness’ of the loudspeaker to suit listening

room acoustics, partnering electronics and

personal taste. 

Four settings for tweeter output level are

po0.75, 0 (‘flat’), -0.75 and -1.5dB.For a

‘brighter’ or ‘sharper’ sound 0.75, to

remove brightness select -0.75 or -1.5dB.

The adjustment is made by screwing one,

both or neither of the gold plated screw caps

into the HF Adjust ‘A’ and ‘B’ terminals,

according to the table below. The default setting

is 0 (‘flat’) - one screw cap in terminal ‘B’.

These adjustments as mentioned earlier are

provided not only for ‘room tuning’ but

to allow a more sympathetic partnering  to

some electronics.

Amplifiers that may have either a very forward

or bright presentation can be tamed or equally

those that have quite a warm presentation can

be given extra sparkle, it is your choice.

The two centre channel loudspeakers,

Models 202/2c and 204/2c, incorporate a two

position ‘Free Space/Television’ Uni Balance that

adjusts the bass level depending on whether the

loudspeaker is mounted freestanding or close to

a TV or wall boundary. In the Model 202/2c the

‘television’ setting corrects the bass response

for when the loudspeaker is placed on top of,

or directly underneath, a TV. In the Model

204/2c the ‘television’ setting corrects the bass

response for when the loudspeaker is placed on

a stand close to a wall.

HF Adjustment Models 202/2c
and 204/2c

The two centre loudspeakers Models 202/2c

and 204/2c incorporate a two position high

frequency level adjustment which allows

compensation for the sound attenuation when 

the loudspeaker is positioned behind a typical 

acoustically transparent projection screen,

see below. Select ‘Screen’ when the loudspeaker

is positioned behind a screen.
