When setting up the Stereo Vitalizer Jack for the first time, it is
wise to approach the controls in a specific order to avoid confu-
sion and to achieve positive results right from the start. Use a CD
as source.

Bass to zero
(center position)
-
Mid-Hi Tune to 3,5 kHz
(center position)
-
Process to zero

- Brilliance

1. Press the Active switch.You will yet hear no audible change in
the sound.
2. Slowly move the Process control in from the extreme left. You
will find that starting from the 10 o'clock position all frequencies
above 3.5 kHz (initial setting Mid-Hi Tune) are becoming more
intense. Freqencies below this point are diminished. First set the
Process control at 2 o'clock.
3. The next step is to shift the Bass control from the zero posi-
tion to both sides.Turn to the right: The bass sounds tight and dry.
Turn to the left: The bass sounds soft and round. Decide on a bass
sound of the desired amplitude.
4. Now start varying Mid-Hi Tune. The original setting is 3.5 kHz.
Turn to the right: The programme material sounds brighter and
gets more mids from about 1.5 kHz.The Mid-Hi Tune control sets a
starting frequency above which all frequencies are processed. If
this starting frequency is lowered, the frequency spectrum
included in processing increases. The programme material then
sounds brighter and clearer. Turning the control to the left shifts
the starting frequency from 3.5 kHz to higher frequencies. The
programme material then sounds increasingly dull, because
fewer and fewer frequencies are being included in the process,
the higher the frequencies become. The setting you choose is a
matter of personal taste.
5. The Brilliance control helps you to give voices or other instru-
ments in improved presence. Set the Brilliance control in to
around 12 o´clock. This makes the processed signal more natural
with a soft, silky-sounding top-end.
6. Finally, turn in the Stereo Expander control to the 12h-posi-
tion. Note the spreading stereo image.
