Niles Audio PSW8 manual Satellite Left-Right Phase Reversal, Removing The Speaker

Page 21

3)Satellite Left-Right Phase Reversal

If the right satellite is reversed in phase from the connections on the left satellite, you will hear reduced bass and a “phasey” dif- fused vocal image. If you suspect the sound is not right and you cannot see any mark- ings on the wire, try this simple test:

1.Stand half way between the two satellite speakers.

2.Play some vocal music with the amplifier or radio set to Mono.

3.Listen to the apparent placement of the vocals.

4.Turn off the amplifier and reverse one of the connections on the subwoofer.

5.Repeat the listening test with the same setting of the volume control. When the sound has a richer bass, is slightly louder and the vocal image is “focused” the satellites are working together or “in-phase”.

Removal of Speaker and Grille

Removing The Speaker

If the grille is already installed, remove it by using a bent paper clip or the tip of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the frame.

Utilizing 2 small screwdrivers or needle nose pliers, release the side snaps that hold the speaker to the frame. Insert the screwdriver into the hole in the snap and exert force straight inward (towards the woofer) until the snap releases. Follow the same process with the snaps at the top. Once the snap releases, the speaker can be tilted away from the frame to be removed. Do not attempt to use the frame for leverage, as this may damage the sur- face of the frame (See Figure 24).
