c. Crossover: After adjusting the Phase-Control, it will 
be  necessary  to  determine  the  best  crossover  range 
for your in-room performance. Turn this control to

 

the 

lowest setting available. It may be necessary to again 
adjust the overall volume. Most frequently at this point 
it  will  be  necessary  to  raise  the  volume  a  position  or 
two.  Then  adjust  or  raise  the  crossover  setting  until 
the  overall  bass  performance  begins  to  become 
overwhelming  or  “boomy.”  When  this  happens,  lower 
the crossover setting until the “boominess” goes away. 

e. Fine Adjustments: At this point you may find that a 
position  or  two  higher  on  crossover  will  sound  better 
with  the  overall  volume  a  position  or  two  lower.  This 
will produce a slightly “warmer” bass contour while the 
opposite  of  having  the  volume  a  bit  higher  but  a 
crossover  setting  that  is  slightly  lower  will  produce  a 
“faster”  and  more  powerful  lower  bass  output.  This 
final fine adjustment process is of personal preference 
and thus listening to a couple different pieces of music 
should be used for this step. 

Note:

  It  is  usually  better  to  use  a  lower  crossover 

setting  with  slightly  higher  overall  volume  settings  in 
order  obtain  the  optimum  in  room  bass  extension. 
Since  all  speakers  have  different  performance  in  all 
rooms and with different  associated other equipment, 
it is impossible to determine what the final setting for 
the  crossover,  gain  or  even  phase  will  ultimately  be. 
The  only  way  to  properly  setup  this  device,  or  any 
other  piece of a fine audio or audio/video equipment, 
is by listening. 

Thank you and Happy Listening!
