Level adjustment
Level adjustment
All models of the CWT SE loudspeaker series can easily be adjusted to suit the
acoustic qualities of the listening room, or to particular conditions and speaker
positions.
For example, it may well be necessary to reduce the bass range if the speakers
are set up close to a wall.
To facilitate these adjustments you will find three switches (marked BASS , MID
and TREBLE ) on the rear terminal of the speaker cabinet; each switch has
three positions: +1.5 dB, LIN and -1.5 dB .
BASS
If the loudspeakers are set up in a listening room a considerable distance from
the walls (> 1.5 m) we recommend setting the switch to +1.5 dB.
If the loudspeakers are set up in a listening room
close to the walls , in our
experience the best results in terms of sound are obtained with the switch set to
0 dB.
If the loudspeakers are set up in one
corner of the room , the result can be
excessive bass emphasis. The -1.5 dB setting compensates for this effect.
MID / TREBLE
On the rear of each speaker you will also find two additional switches for adjusting
the treble and mid-range response to suit the listening room. The default position
for both switches is 0 dB.
These switches enable you to adjust the level by +/- 1.5 dB, and the adjustment
is designed to compen
sate for very „hard“ (highly reflective) or very „soft“ (highly
damped) rooms. For rooms which tend to echo , we recommend the -1.5 dB
setting.
In contrast, a lift of 1.5 dB may be helpful in rooms which tend to damp sound
down .
Care and maintenance
Care of the loudspeakers Always disconnect the loudspeakers from the mains supply before cleaning
them.
Never use powerful cleaning agents or solvent cleaners!
The surface of the loudspeaker cabinets should be cleaned simply by wiping with a
soft, dry cloth.
If necessary, the front grille can also be cleaned carefully using a vacuum cleaner.
Loudspeaker cabinets finished in genuine hardwood veneers should be set up in a
location away from direct sunshine; real wood changes colour when subjected to
sunlight.
If there are slight scratches on the surface of your speaker-cabinet use the
polish from the accessories of your CWT SE speaker. Apply it with a soft piece
of cloth in circling movements. Then use a clean and dry cloth to finish the
polishing process.
