additional performance in tuning your speakers for the room in which you are using them. They can turn your system from very good to exceptional, so take the time to work through this process.

The left knob marked TWEETER is a volume control for the front tweeter. Turning this control clockwise will increase the level of the tweeters. Use this control if you need a bit more treble, or to increase the apparent space of the soundstage. Too high a tweeter level, and you can feel that crashing cymbals are leaping out at you, and nylon stringed guitars sound steely. Start with this

control at the 12 o'clock position. There is about a ± one dB range for this control.

The right knob marked MIDRANGE is used to adjust the level of the midrange. Start at the 12 o’clock position. Turning the control anti- clockwise will make the midrange sound leaner - turning it clockwise will make the midrange sound fuller. A fuller midrange can also make the soundstage appear more forward. There is about a ± one and a half dB range for this control.

The optimal way to use these speakers as a stereo pair is to leave the rear tweeters on, and run them as dipole and approximately 18-inches from the wall. However, in some cases, this may not be possible.

Should the speakers have to be placed with their backs less than 12 inches from the wall, the rear tweeters should be turned off.
