STRAUSS

Please take care of further important features of STRAUSS: On the backside of STRAUSS, on the terminal, under the binding posts, you will find a sinking, housing a tiny switch, possible to be moved by any sharp tool like a spike. This is an important room tuning aid: It allows you to influence high frequencies.

Symbols:

Nis for Neutral

-is for smoothened tweeter response.

This switch provides you with the perfection in room tuning: In Neutral-position the switch has no connection to the crossover, but with the lowering switch position you are able to fine-tune on conditions like bright sounding, reflective rooms, echoing undamped walls, or any other “cold” circumstances like analytical electronic environment, gaining back the so important natural balance.

You can influence STRAUSS´ environment not only with the switches, but by positioning STRAUSS regarding his basses on the side. As they are mounted on one side of the cabinet (left and right speaker), it is possible to let them fire inwards or outwards and so to influence the bass response to match room acoustic. This room-tuning is made possible by the bass-modes in a room, which change immediately by being stimulated on different places. As an indication, in most cases a positioning with basses outwards creates a more powerful bass response, whereas basses inwards tend to more slender bass reaction. We suggest to start with position “outwards“.

Base mounting:

The beautiful lyric base decouples the frontplate and features a choice of adjustable 3-spike-point or 4-spike-point application:

We suggest to use the 4-spike-point application, both for perfect weight allocation (when fine-tuned thoroughly by yourself with adjusting the spikes to the surface of your floor), and for maximum safety in terms of stability.

The 3-spike-point application provides the weight allocation automatically, but may only be used in safe circumstances, with no persons or animals possible to collide with the speaker however.
