Adjusting the Sound of the System

are used, check to make sure that each output is correct from the amplifier.. When using active crossovers on midrange and tweeters, do not use crossover frequen- cies lower than recommended.. If the system is not configured properly, refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual and take corrective action..

Step 7 If the output is clear and undistorted, continue to the Adjusting the Sound of the System section of this manual..

Once you have checked the system's operation, adjust the sound of the system.. Adjusting the sound of the system is accomplished by setting the level controls and adjusting the internal crossovers..

Step 1 Turn the signal source volume control all the way down.. Set any tone controls to their flat or defeated positions.. This includes the loudness control..

Step 2 Turn the level controls of the amplifier to their minimum positions..

Step 3 Choose music with high dynamic content that you like, with which you are famil- iar, and will be used most often in the system..

Step 4 Turn the source unit's volume control up to its highest undistorted output level.. If you lack test equipment, this point occurs between 3/4 to full volume depending on the quality of your source unit.. Listen for any audible distortion.. If any distor- tion is audible, reduce the volume of the source unit until you have an undistorted output.. Leave the volume control at this position during your system tuning..

Step 5 While listening to your chosen dynamic music, turn up the level control corre- sponding to the midrange output until you hear slight distortion and turn the level control back slightly for an undistorted output.. Depending on your system, the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels..

Step 6 Turn up the level control corresponding to the tweeter output until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output.. Depending on your system the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels..

Step 7 Fine-tune the output level between midrange and tweeters.. Refer to the Internal

Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instructions..

Step 8 Repeat Steps 5-7 for the rear speakers.. If you do not have rear speakers continue to Step 10..

Step 9 Set levels between the front and rear midrange and tweeters for optimum front/ rear balance..

Step 10 Turn up the level control corresponding to the woofer output until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output..

Step 11 Fine-tune the output level between satellite speakers and the woofers.. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instruc- tions..

Step 12 Enjoy your awesome Orion Cobalt sound system..
