Verifying Phase
When proper polarity is not maintained, the speakers play at the opposite ‘time’
from each other, or out of phase. The result is audio with lack of bass and vocals
that sound thin or distant. If during or after calibrating your receiver you suspect
the sound is not right and you cannot see any markings on the wire to verify
polarity is correct, try this simple test:
1.
Sit in the normal listening position for the system.
2.
Play some music with your receiver set to Mono.
3.
Listen to the music and observe the audio.
• Does the bass sound full and even with the other audio?
• Do the vocals sound centered and even in volume?
If either of the answers are YES, follow steps 3 and 4 with any other speakers
in the system.
4.
Turn off your receiver and reverse the connections for one of the speakers.
5.
Repeat your test at the same volume level. When the sound has the loudest
and best sounding bass, and vocals are centered and clear, your connections
are correct and in-phase.
CLEANING
Use a dampened soft cloth or paper towel to clean the cabinet. The grill is best
cleaned by brushing it off with a lint-free cloth.
