Tweeter Adjustment
The tweeters pivot and should be aimed toward the intended listener. Before
installing the grille, gently press on the outside of the tweeter ring as shown.
Note:
Not applicable for the single point stereo speakers - The tweeters do not
pivot and pushing on the tweeters will damage the domes.
Grille Installation
After all adjustments and listening tests are made install the grille. Replace
the scrim cloth in the grille smoothing the material in place. Insert the speaker
grille into the frame. Press gently into place, taking care not to scratch the
frame finish or bend the grille. In most installations, the grilles will fit tightly
without causing vibration. If any audible vibration does occur, use special
damping/adhesive material.
Tweeter Adjustment
Press only on the outer ring of
the tweeter. Pressing on the
interior of the tweeter dome
will damage it!
