grille cover
removal
In order to realise the best performance from your Calliope
loudspeakers, we recommend that you remove the grille cover. To
do so, gently prise the side edges of the grille out of the enclosure
relief channel starting at the bottom.
fine tuning
To fine tune the position of your Calliope loudspeakers, choose
some music you are familiar with and sit in the central listening
position. Pay attention to the tonal balance of the reproduction
and the accuracy of the stereo sound-stage. Moving the
loudspeakers away from the rear wall and into the room will
reduce the amount of low frequency energy with respect to the
rest of the audible bandwidth. Conversely, moving the
loudspeakers closer to the rear wall will increase the low
frequency energy.
The distance between the loudspeakers and the amount of toe-in
will affect the stereo sound-stage. With careful and patient
experimentation, you will find a configuration that will provide an
even and neutral tonal balance with an accurate sound-stage.
Don’t be afraid to experiment.
Once you have found the ideal position for your loudspeakers
within your listening room, you may wish to add the mounting
spikes supplied. This will allow the loudspeakers to be levelled
and provide rigid support improving image stability and bass
definition. The position of the mounting spikes has been designed
to align with the top plate casting of the dedicated Calliope
loudspeaker stand. The dedicated stands also provide an option
to bolt the loudspeakers in place.
