A small screwdriver is supplied for adjusting this control.
There will be recordings that benefit, and those that do not, so you may find
yourself only occasionally using the airLayer, or conversely, occasionally not using
it. Once the desired airLayer level has been found, it may be switched entirely on
or off using the button located below the amplifier panel.
There’s a section dedicated to the airLayer farther along in this guide.
t mid and high frequencies,
the Carmelitas’
directivity keeps the stereo image
from being affected much by room placement in all but the most reflective
rooms. As with any non-dipole speakers, though, the bass is practically
omnidirectional, so nearby walls will reinforce it.
A good starting setup for audiophiles in a typical listening room:
•
The speakers should be mounted on stands that position the center of the
rectangular grill at ear height. A few inches upward or downward won’t matter,
though. The center is about 12” [30 cm] from the bottom of the speaker, so
the stand should be about 1
2” [30 cm] shorter than your ear height. It’s alright
to use a stand with a tilted platen to get the same effect, but in that case, make
sure to account for your distance from the speakers when selecting the height.
