ADJUSTING THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE (MT8 Two Only)
The Mirror Image Technology Series speakers come from the factory with the Uni-Pivot midrange/tweeter module facing
straight out from the baffle. This will result in the overall smoothest response. However, depending on your particular primary
area, room acoustics, ceiling height, or personal preference, you may find the sound more pleasing by pointing the Uni-Pivot
in a particular direction. If additional midrange and treble is desired in the primary listening area, point the Uni-Pivot towards
that area; and if less midrange and treble is required, point the Uni-Pivot away. When used in a home theater surround sound
environment as side or rear channel speakers, the best result will be obtained by pointing the Uni-Pivot toward an adjacent wall.
Push gently at the edge of the Uni-Pivot to point it in the desired direction.

Treble Adjustment (MT8 Two Only):
The three vertical buttons with the center button labeled “T” allow for 6dB of TREBLE (high frequency) adjustment. Your speakers
were shipped with the treble set to neutral. This setting provides the most linear frequency response. If you desire more treble,
push the button with the up arrow and the treble will play 3dB higher. If you want less treble, push the button with the down
arrow and the tweeter will play 3dB lower. To return to the neutral setting, push the “T” button.
(See Diagram 11)
Bass Adjustment (MT8 Two Only):
The three vertical buttons with the center button labeled “B” allow for 6dB of BASS (low frequency) adjustment. Your speakers
were shipped with the bass set to neutral, resulting in 6 ohm of impedance. This setting provides the flattest bass frequency
response. If you desire more bass, push the button with the up arrow and the bass will play 3dB higher and lower the imped-
ance to 4 ohm. If you want less bass, push the button with the down arrow and the bass will play 3dB lower and increase the
impedance to 8 ohm. This setting provides a more linear bass frequency response. To return to the neutral setting, push the “B“
button.
(See Diagram 11)
Remember that altering the impedance affects the number of speakers able to be driven by an ampli-
fier. If multiple pairs of speakers are to be driven by one amplifier, SpeakerCraft suggests using the lowest output position (the
down arrow) until it is determined that the amplifier will operate properly with the speakers switched to a higher output mode. If
you want to safely operate multiple pairs of speakers, consider purchasing SpeakerCraft S4 or S8 Speaker Selectors.

The desired setting for treble and bass MUST be pressed in order for the speaker to play properly. The
tweeter will NOT play if a selection is not made.
