S-100B TREBLE CONTOUR SWITCH

The TREBLE CONTOUR switch slightly rolls off the upper midrange and treble frequencies when set to the MID and LOW position. These carefully shaped contours minimize brightness due to room conditions, other electronics, or the source material. It does more than a simple tweeter level control.

The LOW position gives the greatest reduction of high frequencies. The MID position gives a lesser reduction of the highs, while the NORMAL position does not reduce high frequencies at all.

This control is useful not only to match your room environment and speaker location, but also because audio and audio/video program material varies widely in terms of high frequency level and distortion. For example, many recordings and film soundtracks have artificially boosted, excessive high frequencies that will be clearly reproduced by the exacting and extended high frequency reproduction of your M&K Satellites, and the MID and LOW TWEETER positions will help these recordings.

Don't hesitate to set this switch to MID or LOW for fear of the sound not being "flat". Few recordings are actually "flat", due to equalization in the recording process, and artificial alteration of high frequencies is common.
