for every given room. Each Chronosonic XVX should be evaluated in its environ-
ment, and a determination made from there.
Warning: The bass performance of the Chronosonic XVX will be severely
compromised if the port is not installed in one of its two locations.
Reversing the Port Plug
The Chronosonic XVX ships with the port plug installed in the front of the
woofer enclosure for a rear-firing port configuration. To reverse the plug, do the
following.
1. Locate the Allen handle and the 1/8” Allen tip from the tool kit. Install
the tip into the handle.
2. To remove the port plug, unbolt the six 10-32x1” button head Allen
screws and washers and remove metal cover.
3. Remove the decorative port ring from the rear port.
4. Install the port plug into the rear port.
5. Install the port cover plate over the plug.
6. Install the decorative port ring into the now active front port.
Section 4.6—The Rear Tweeter Module Attenuator
The attenuator on the Rear-firing Tweeter is one of the technical inno-
vations within the Chronosonic XVX. The XLF bass port accounts for the archi-

tectural differences in rooms in the bass region. Similarly, the addition of an
ultra-high-quality attenuator for the Rear Tweeter improves the XVX’s ability to
interface within a variety of environments.
The rear tweeter is in play centered on a frequency of approximately 7kHz.
In a typical room, it is -13dB relative to the Front Tweeter at a measurement
distance of 8.5 feet if the attenuator is left at full level—turned entirely clock-
wise. At its lowest setting—with the attenuator in the further counter-clockwise
position—the rear tweeter is effectively muted (-37dB).
Because ceiling heights differ, as does the relative distance of the
Chronosonic XVX from the rear wall, the attenuator enables the installer to trim
the output from the Rear Tweeter to fit various scenarios. For installations featur-
ing low ceilings and/or those settings where the rear of the loudspeaker is near
the rear wall, the optimal setting for the Rear Tweeter will likely be somewhat
attenuated. In those installations featuring taller ceilings and open spaces, the
output of the tweeter will likely be higher.
Listening for high-frequency ambient cues as well as a sense of spatial
sparkle is an excellent method for evaluating the output setting that suits your
room and your musical preferences. If the tweeter level is too high, top-to-bot-
tom coherence will suffer. If the rear tweeter is too low, the presentation will be
somewhat closed down and spatially compromised. See the graph to the left,
which illustrates the effect of the attenuator.
