Getting the most from your Music System
:
. Treat the Music System as you would a home stereo system. Although the
audio from a computer or laptop can be connected to the Music System,
it’s not intended for near-field (close-up) listening like “computer speakers”.
As with a home stereo system, listening at a distance will yield the best
results.
. The SpacePhase
™
Wide mode and EQ settings allow you to tailor the
Music System’s sound to your liking depending on the program material,
room size and volume level. We’ve spent countless hours of critical listening
using a variety of material with different settings and at different volume
levels. In general we recommend the treble control be kept in the “0”
position. At high volume levels, for the most accurate reproduction, we
recommend keeping the EQ off and the Audio setting in Stereo or Mono
(not SpacePhase Wide) mode.
