Off-Axis Tweeter Boost
Compensating for a less-than-ideal tweeter position is one of the most common and difficult challenges facing an installer.
When a tweeter is positioned off-axis, the listener will experience the most attenuation (quieting) at the highest frequencies.
Many tweeters on the market give you the ability to boost output of the entire tweeter by up to 6 dB to help compensate for
this loss. However, since there is virtually no loss at the lower frequencies close to the crossover point, this boost results in
harsh and unbalanced highs.
NVX is different because our tweeter boost follows a slope which adds 6dB up at 20kHz, 3dB at 10kHz, and offers no boost
at 6kHz, where the frequency is too low to experience severe off-axis attenuation. This boost makes for smoother and more
even high notes, allowing you to enjoy an ideal stereo image from a less-than ideal location.
