ROOM CONTROL switch
Adjusts the speaker’s low-frequency response.
This switch can be used to compensate for
exaggerated low-frequency response that can be
caused by reflections in some listening environments.
Setting the switch to the [0] position produces a flat
frequency response. The [-2 dB] setting attenuates
the range below 500 Hz by 2 dB, and the [-4 dB]
setting attenuates the range below 500 Hz by -4 dB.

HIGH TRIM switch
Adjusts the speaker’s high-frequency response.
Setting the switch to the [0] position produces a flat
frequency response. The [+2 dB] setting boosts the
range above 2 kHz by 2 dB, while the [-2 dB] setting
attenuates the range above 2 kHz by -2 dB.
