sition your assistant to the rear of the Chronosonic XVX. Have 
your assistant reach through the Gantry assembly and support 
the bottom portion of the Lower Midrange Module in order to 
safely guide the module into position.

9.  The ball-head posts insert into the slot in the front of the Mi-

crometer. The slot features a wider section at the rear, which 
provides an opening for the ball.

10.  Once you successfully insert the ball head into the slot open-

ing, push the module toward the front of the loudspeaker until 
the ball head rests against the front of the slot. 

11.  Rest the rear spike on the appropriate block step. This may take 

some adjustment after the module is safely in installed into the 
Micrometer. 

12.  Tighten the knurled knob on the stepped block.

13.   Using your measurements for ear height and listening dis-

tance, refer to the chart labeled “XVX Lower Module Chrono-
sonic Micrometer Position.” Locate the Micrometer setting on 
the chart. There are two reference points of the Micrometer, 
labeled “A” and “B.” The chart indicates which of these mark-
ers to use. Using the rotary dial, move the Micrometer so that 
it aligns with the corresponding number on the Micrometer.

Once you’ve properly set the Micrometer position, use the two 
oval-head locking bolts located on the side of the Micrometer 
to secure it from further movement. 

Installing the Tweeter Module into the Gantry

Note: As noted in the previous section, the Tweeter Module and the Upper 
Midrange Module are installed separately into the Chronosonic XVX Gan-
try Array. Never attempt to install or remove the Tweeter Module and the 
Upper Midrange Module as one unit. 

1.  Using the rotary dial on the side of the Gantry, move the upper 

Chronosonic XVX Micrometer to the farthest forward position. 

2.  Reference the table labeled “XVX Tweeter Alignment Block 

Step” in Section 6. Locate the corresponding ear height and 
listening distance for the Tweeter Module Step.

3.  There are two slots milled into the upper Micrometer plate that 

serve as guide tracks for the two front ball-head spikes for the 
Tweeter Module. These have an opening on one end that will 
receive the ball tips. Carefully maneuver the module until the 
front two ball-end spikes settle into the tracks. Push the mod-
ule until stops in the front of the ball track.

4.  Locate the correct numbered step from the table and rest the
