minor adjustments to the crossover and overall gain
settings.
Start with the controls in the following positions:
i.
Crossover Control: middle position
ii.
Volume: start in the middle position

Phase: 0°

Listen: It is important that you listen to music
while making the final proper adjustments to the
Principal Grand. Start with a piece of music that has
an abun-dance of consistent and rhythmic low bass. A
recording with a plucked double-bass properly
recorded should work quite well for this process.
a. Volume: Make necessary adjustments so that the
volume of the subwoofer is similar to that of the main
loudspeakers. It is possible that you will have to turn
the Principal Grand´s gain control to near maximum.
The choice of operating range of this special gain
control we have used was determined by obtaining the
best possible sound quality.
b. Phase: While listening to music, switch the Phase-
Control between 0° and 180°. Select the position that
offers the greatest overall bass output – this is the
position that the Principal Grand subwoofer is working
in time or in-phase with your main loudspeakers.
