ERT-8.3/ERM-6.3 Custom Sound Tailoring Controls

1. Tweeter Level Adjustment

Cuts or boosts tweeter level. Settings are: ‘+2’, ‘-2’ and ‘0’ (neutral position).

2. Tweeter Level ‘Extension’

In addition to the tweeter level adjustment, ERT-8.3 and ERM-6.3 speakers have an ‘Extension’ control. On the ‘Low’ setting, a standard EQ curve with frequencies above 18k begin to gently roll-off is in effect. On the ‘High’ setting, the frequencies above 18k are extended, creating a brighter and ‘airy’ sound that may be used to counter room acoustics or personal preference.

3. Midrange Level Adjustment

Cuts or boosts the midrange level. Settings are: ‘+2’, ‘-2’ and ‘0’ (neutral position).

4. Boundary Compensation

Compensates for the ‘booming’, or unpleasant increase in the upper range of the bass, due to being close to a wall or large piece of furniture.

Settings are: ‘On’, which reduces 400Hz by about 10db, and ‘Off’ (neutral position), which leaves all lower frequencies unaffected.

5. Five-way binding posts

Connects the speaker to the amplifier(s). Accepts banana plugs, spade lugs, pin posts, and bare wire. Gold plated to prevent corrosion.

6. Bi-amp terminal links

(1)When powering the speaker with a single amplifier or single amplifier channel, use only one connection each on the negative and positive binding posts. Make sure that the Bi-amp terminal links are securely in place.

(2)When using two discrete amplifier or amplifier channels per speaker (Bi-amping) remove the Bi- amp terminal links and use all connections: one positive, and one negative per amplifier or amplifier channel. Warning: Failure to remove the bi-amp terminal links before bi-amping could result in serious damage to your amplifier. More on Bi-amping: Page 17
