Fine Tuning
Fine tuning of your Platinum loudspeakers can be achieved in a number of ways, depending
on personal taste. Moving the loudspeakers further from rear and side walls will reduce
the bass, but add depth. The opposite will happen if you move them closer to rear or side
walls.
The slightest change to the position of the speaker, whether it is by moving it closer to a
wall or by toeing it in or out slightly, can effect the sound reproduction.
Soft furnishings within a room can have an effect on sound reproduction. Increasing the
number of soft furnishings can temper any apparent harshness. Conversely, if sound
appears dull, reducing the quantity will improve the sound.
Running-In
As with all loudspeakers, the Platinum Series Loudspeakers require a certain amount of
running-in time before the very best and optimum performance is achieved. A running-in
period of approximately 100 hours should be adequate. A gradual improvement will be
noticed throughout this period. The time required will depend on the conditions in which
they were originally stored (cold or warm), and general household conditions (again, cold
or warm).
During the running in period play them at approximately half of your normal listening level
so that the drive units are not overstressed.
