make it sound real. You may have to return to the vocal to make sure you have not gone too far in one direction.
If, at this point, it does not have enough mid bass, turn the low pass number to a higher position or, alternately, position the main speakers closer together in order to achieve better mid bass coupling between the main speakers. If it sounds too “fat” turn the low pass control down or adjust the volume. At this point it is suggested to use the low pass filter control until you get to the refinement stage.
Imaging and Soundstage
If your vocal selection is a
If the vocal appears to be larger than life, you should first check the system volume. Is it a volume that would be appropriate for someone actually singing in your room? If there is too much volume the artist will appear too big and the opposite is true
for too little volume. If the volume is set correctly and the image is still too big, toe the woofer towers in a slight amount or place them closer together and
If you have the speakers only 20% away from the front wall, and you are not getting enough front to back depth (the singer not appearing behind the speaker enough) pull the midrange tweeter panels away from the front wall a little bit at a time. If you do not have them pulled far enough away, you may not have enough front to back depth. If you get the speakers much beyond 1/3 of the way into the room, it is unlikely that pulling them further away is reasonable.
Find the best compromise for your room, your tastes and your space requirements. If the speakers are too far apart you will lose the side image and if they are too close together you will have too small a center stage. We recommend you begin with six to seven feet apart as measured from tweeter to tweeter. If you are not getting proper focus on the voice, you may angle the midrange
