Installing the speaker

8.Holding the speaker in the palm of your hand, insert the speaker into the frame, twist clockwise to lock. (See Figure 18).

9.Direct the Tweeter. The tweeter is directed by gently pushing on the edge of the tweeter housing. (See Figure 19). It will move 17° in any direction. For critical listening point the tweeter to the user’s favorite listening position mini- mizing reflections from the side walls. For surround sound or low volume background listening create more reflec- tions and thus more ambience by direct- ing the tweeter towards the side walls.

10.Direct the Woofer. The woofer is direct- ed by gently pushing on the outer edge of the grille face. (See Figure 20). It will move 15° in any direction. For critical listening point the woofer to the user’s favorite listening position minimizing reflections from the side walls. For sur- round sound or low volume background listening create more reflections and thus more ambience by directing the woofer towards the side walls.

11.Setting the Treble cut switch. Listen to a well-recorded piece of music at the user’s favorite listening position. Listen for treble harshness or ringing, particu- larly when the speakers are placed in a room without carpet. Use the +/-1.5dB Treble switch to correct.

12.Setting the bass jumper. Listen to a well-recorded piece of music at the user’s favorite listening position. Listen for bass boominess, particularly when the speaker is placed near a corner. Remove the speaker by grasping the tabs and rotating counter-clockwise. Adjust the bass jumper (-1dB, -2dB) accordingly. (See Figure 21).

13.Install the grille into the speaker. The grilles should fit snugly. If you have dif- ficulty fitting them in, try loosening the mounting dog screws (excessive tight- ening can distort the shape of the frame holding the grille in place).
