After the speaker is installed, please test the
speaker using music or content you are familiar
with.The IW-680CF speakers allow you to
control the amount of treble.
The switch labeled HP Boost allows for ±3dB of
treble adjustment. Your speakers were shipped
with the treble switch in the middle position,
providing the most linear frequency response. If
you desire more treble, move the switch to the
“+” position, and the tweeter will play 3dB
higher. If you desire less treble, move theswitch
to the “–” position, and the tweeter will play 3dB
lower. To return to the neutral setting, push the
switch back to the middle position.
If your listening room has smooth sheetrock
walls, hardwood floors, and non-cushioned
furniture, the sound will be overly “bright” and
unnatural. Engaging the "HF Booster" feature
(by selecting the “–” setting) compensates for
the effect of overly loud treble. If your room is
has a lot of absorbing surfaces such as
over-stuffed furniture, heavy drapes and rugs
such that the speakers sound “dull,” engage the
“+” setting to boost treble response. Leave the
switch in the center position in rooms with a
balance of reflecting and absorbing surfaces
(most rooms fall into this category).
Your IW-680CF speaker tweeter come from the
factory with the facing straight. This will result in
the overall direct and smooth response.
However, depending on your particular primary
area, room
acoustics, ceiling height, or personal prefer-
ence, you may find the sound more pleasing by
pointing the tweeter in a particular direction. If
additional sound is desired in the primary
listening area,
pivot the tweeter towards that area; and if less
sound is required, pivot the tweeter away.
Simply using the finger push the ridged triangle
areas in the desired direction. (See Diagram 5).
For home theater use, we recommend the
following tips:
• If the speakers are being used as main front
channels, the tweeter should be angled towards
the listener.
• If the speakers are being used for rear surround
channels, you may wish to pivot the tweeter away
from the listener to achieve a more diffused
sound.
