This picture shows not actual measured curves. It is only intended to be used as an illustration on the different acoustic 
characteristics in the lower frequencies. 

Room Tuning - 
Mechanical 
adjustment of the 
boundary frequency 
 
 

 

 

  

By  using  the  supplied  bass  plugs  in  the  bass  reflex 
gates,  you  can  alter  the  lower  boundary  frequency 
on XTZ 99 W12.18P 
This  makes  it  possible  to  alter  the  sonic 
characteristics  of  the  woofer.  The  picture  below 
shows 4 basic settings. 
 
With  1  or  2  open  reflex  gates(bass-reflex)  will 
increase the efficiency so it can handle more sound 
pressure than with 2 closed reflex gates(closed-box) 
 

1st mode - no plugs in the reflex gates  

No  plugs  in  the  gates  will  provide  a  "quick"  bass 
suitable for big rooms. 
 

2nd mode - 2 bass plugs in the reflex gates 

This will provide a neutral, even and controled bass 
setting (Closed box) 
 

3rd mode - 1 plug in the right reflex gate 

One  plug  in  the  right  gates  will  provide  a  "deep" 
bass suitable for smaller rooms. 
 

4rd mode - 1 plug in the left reflex gate 

One plug in the left gates will provide a a “neutral" 
bass character. 
 

 

 

Since the sonic characteristics depends on 
the  room  a  whole  range  of  external 
factors,  there  exists  no  "standard"  setting 
for a neutral representation. 
 
Room  tuning  will  also  have  influence  on 
the  efficiency  you  will  have  to  adjust  the 
volume,  frequency  and  High  Pass  in  the 
room tuning modes.  
"Quick" bass explained: 
By this we mean a bass with less deep bass 
information.  This  might  also  be  called 
"hard", "attack", "tight", "punchy" etc.
