Absolute fidelity

button, the display will flash Ph and then the current phase setting will be shown. The next press of the button will move the phase up or down.

Set the phase to zero as an initial setting. (If you are not driving the servo-bass amplifier as recommended using the output of the power amplifier, the phase will depend on the phase shift and group delay of your power amplifier. A typical value will be 45 to 135 degrees.)

The high-pass (HI) filter determines how low the woofers will play. Set this initially to 24Hz until the woofers and amplifiers break in. Then, it can be set to 18Hz. Next, adjust the low pass (LO) filter (how high the woofer goes). Set this to 95 using the button marked "low pass" (on the remote control).

You will notice two controls on the back of the midrange/tweeter panel. The left hand knob is a trim control for the rear tweeters. Turning this control clockwise will increase the level of the rear tweeters.

If there is not enough space behind the G2, the tweeter control can be turned down. In large rooms, the tweeter control can be turned up. Use this control if you need a bit more treble or to increase the apparent space of the soundstage. Start with this control at the twelve o'clock position.

The control on the right side is a three-position switch used to adjust the midrange. Start at position two. Position one will sound fuller in the lower midrange while position three will sound leaner and have more upper midrange.

The less obvious effect (more obvious to some people!!) of the midrange control is to make the soundstage sound more forward, and change the perceived height and position of the performance. Relative to position two, you can raise the soundstage by moving to position three (it’s like moving your seat forwards in the concert hall!!)
