Fine adjustment
Once your Klimax loudspeakers are correctly positioned, levelled and connected, some
tuning of the sound may benefit the performance.
The acoustics of a room are dependent on many factors including size, shape, contents
and textures. The information below will assist in helping you to achieve optimum sound
from your loudspeakers in any setting.
Adjustment switches
The Klimax loudspeakers are provided with adjustment switches on the back panel. The
factory settings will provide the best performance in the majority of room settings,
however if a room's acoustics are found to be a little bright or perhaps a bit bass-heavy,
these switches allow certain parameters to be fine-tuned, in order to allow the
loudspeaker performance to match the room acoustics more closely.
When making adjustments, the loudspeakers must first be correctly positioned and
connected (see the
Positioning and levelling
section and the
Connecting
section). Then
play a passage of music and listen, using the 'tune' method, i.e. how easy is it to follow
the tune? Make a single adjustment and listen to the same passage of music again. Is it
easier or more difficult to follow the tune?
Continue to do this (adjust/ listen/ adjust etc), one parameter at a time, until you focus
the sound to its optimum, in terms of tuneful performance.

TREBLE SHELF
This switch adjusts the amplitude of the treble range.
The default setting (0 dB) provides a flat response (unity gain).
BASS SHELF
This switch adjusts the amplitude of the bass range.
The default setting (0 dB) provides a flat response (unity gain).
BASS ROLL-ON
Adjusting this parameter raises the lowest frequency produced by the loudspeaker. This
can be used to provide better acoustic matching when a bass extension loudspeaker,
such as the Klimax 345, is also being used.
