Speaker Adjustments
Pivoting Woofer and Tweeter
All Visual Performance Series 6” in-ceiling speakers have a
pivoting tweeter and all except the VP65RTL and VP65STL have a
pivoting woofer assembly. These pivoting drivers allow you to
direct sound towards or away from the listening area, depending
on how the speakers are being used:
• If you’re using the speakers in stereo or as the front left/center/
right speakers in a home theater, pivot the woofer and/or
tweeter directly towards the listening area. This will help the
sound from the speakers blend into a solid soundstage even if
the speakers are widely separated.
• If you’re using the speakers as surround channel speakers in a
home theater, you can create a more diffuse, spacious
surround effect by pivoting the woofer and/or tweeter towards
a wall or window, away from the listeners.
To Pivot the Tweeter:
Apply light pressure to the plastic ring around the outside edge
of the tweeter dome, as shown in
Figure 7
(left). Take care not to
touch or apply pressure to the tweeter dome itself.
To Pivot the Woofer:
Apply pressure on the outer edge of one of the tweeter support
brackets, as shown in
Figure 7,
(right). Do not touch or apply
pressure to the woofer cone.
