Bass Level Control
The Bass Level control adjusts the volume of the ICS Sub 24 mk3 output. The Level Control should be adjusted to
achieve a good main speaker-to-subwoofer balance. However there is significant interaction between the Crossover
control and the Bass Level control. This interaction affects the sound in the midbass range where the transition from
the main speakers to the subwoofer occurs. If you are hearing too much midbass, adjust the crossover frequency
down while increasing the bass level. This decreases midbass output while increasing the amount of lower bass energy.
Conversely, turning down the bass level while slightly increasing the crossover frequency will increase the ratio of mid
bass-to-low bass sound. The result will be a sound with a ”quick“ quality. Experiment while listening to a variety of
sources. Adjust the ICS Sub 24 mk3 Crossover and Bass Level controls until you achieve a smooth and seamless blend
with the main speakers .
Setting the Phase
The proper setting for the Phase Switch changes based upon the location of the speaker. To determine the correct
setting for your room, use a source with a full and continuous bass line. Have a second person repeatedly switch the
Phase Switch from one position to the other. You will notice that one position will deliver stronger midbass sound. This
is the proper position for the Phase Switch. If the midbass now seems too prominent, compensate by slightly lowering
the crossover frequency or the output level.
How To Care For Your Speakers
➤
Use a soft terry cloth towel slightly dampened with water, glass cleaner, or a diluted mild detergent. The towel
should be just damp enough to wipe the surface clean without leaving a trail of moisture.
➤
Do not use abrasive cleaners or any cleaner containing chemicals harsher than those found in glass cleaner.
