your guide. Try to make it sound real. You may have to return to the vocal to make sure you have not gone too far in one direction.

If, at this point, it does not have enough mid bass, turn the low pass number to a higher position or, alternately, position the midrange/ tweeter wings closer together in order to achieve better lower midrange coupling between the main speakers. If it sounds too “fat” turn the low pass control down or adjust the volume. At this point it is suggested to use the low pass filter control until you get to the refinement stage.

Imaging and Soundstage

While imaging and soundstage are a controversial subject (how do you ever know that the soundstage is recorded correctly in the first place), it is vitally important to our enjoyment of a recorded musical event. The G2 is able to deliver a realistic soundstage only if the recording contains such realism.

If your vocal selection is a well-recorded audiophile CD or LP, the performer should appear to come from behind the loudspeakers and be at the appropriate height for a standing person. If it is not, there are several remedies that will address this.

Assuming that the vocal recording is accurate, if the vocalist appears to be larger than life, you should first check the system volume. Is it a volume that would be appropriate for someone actually singing in your room? If there is too much volume the artist will appear too big and the opposite is true for too little volume. If the volume is set correctly and the image is still too big, toe the woofer towers in a very slight amount or place them closer together and re-listen. Repeat this process till you have it right.

If the voice is too low in height, turn the midrange control to the next highest position and the image of the voice will move upward. There are many solo vocal recordings where the singer is recorded using a microphone hung above head height. In this case, it is correct for the system to portray a singer that seem to be singing from a pit in between your loudspeakers.

If you have the speakers only 20% away from the front wall, and you are not getting enough front to back depth (the singer not appearing behind the speaker enough) pull the midrange tweeter
