Toe-in of the overall cabinet as well as distance between the speakers can also result in improvements in overall clarity and resolution. If there appears to be a doubling or sluggishness to the center of the sound stage, try pulling the speakers slightly further apart or aim the overall cabinet further away from the listening position. If there is a vagueness to the soundstage or a lack of central focus, it is possible that you will need to either move the speakers closer together or angle-in the overall cabinet slightly more. As with rake, any adjustments to the overall cabinet position will most likely result in having to make further compensating adjustments to the Music Center.
3.5 Controls – The Music
The final step in proper setup of The Music is the adjustment of the three small switches located above the speaker connection terminals at the rear of the speaker. These three switches are labeled: M, UB, LB. These represent: Midrange, Upper-Bass and Low-Bass. The flat or normal position for these switches is in the lower position. These switches were designed to add a small amount of correction specifically for addressing room acoustics. Since all rooms have certain sonic properties, it is possible that the physical placement cannot resolve all audible problems.
In order to add a small amount of additional upper-frequency energy, place the M-switch to the upper position. This is particularly useful in an well-damped listening rooms. In order to increase bass warmth, try moving the UB-switch to the upper position. This can be quite helpful in larger listening rooms where the speakers are unusually far from the rear wall. The final switch is the LB-switch. The upper setting of the LB-switch allows for the greater bass content. In rooms where the full extension and power of overall bass does not overpower the room this position will result in the greatest power as well as resolution of extended or lower bass. A secondary advantage to this position is the possibility of greater air and focus around the upper frequencies and vocals.
While each of the switches has minimal effect, if special care has been taken in the overall physical setup of the complete loudspeaker system, the results can be profound. As with all of our other recommendations, always listen and trust what you are hearing.
3.6Controls – The Kiss and Poetry
The final step in proper setup of The Kiss and Poetry is the adjusting of the two small switches located above the speaker connection terminals at the rear of the speaker. These three switches are labeled: T and B. These represent Treble and Bass. The flat or normal position for these switches is in the lower position. The addition of these switches was intended to add a small amount of correction specifically for addressing room acoustics. Since all rooms have certain sonic properties, it is possible that the physical placement cannot resolve all audible problems.
In order to add a small amount of additional upper-frequency energy, place the T-switch to the upper position. This is particularly useful in well-damped listening
