SONANCE SYMPHONY® T

PAINTING THE SPEAKERS

All Sonance Symphony speakers come from the factory fitted with a plastic ‘paint plug’ that protects the speaker drivers while the mounting flange is being painted.

Paint the grille separately from the speaker. Before painting, carefully remove the under-grille cloth. It is held in place with a light tacking glue that makes it easy to remove. Spray the grilles with thinned paint (5 parts thinner to 1 part paint), being careful not to plug the holes. Too heavy a coat of paint on the grille will adversely affect the sound of the speaker.

Once the grilles and flange are painted and dry, replace the under-grille cloth, remove the paint plug from the mounting flange and install the grille.

SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS

Pivoting Tweeter

All Symphony T-series speakers (except the S621T) have a pivoting tweeter that allows you to direct sound towards or away from the listening area, depending on how the speakers are being used:

• If you’re using the

speakers in stereo or as the front left/center/right speakers

in a

home theater, pivot the tweeter directly towards the listening area. This will

help

the sound from the

speakers blend

into

a solid

soundstage

even

if the speakers

are

widely

separated.

 

 

 

• If you’re using the speakers as surround channel speakers in a home theater, you can create a more diffuse, spacious surround effect by pointing the tweeters towards a wall or window, away from the listeners.

To Pivot the Tweeter:

Tweeter Level Control

The S625T, S624T and S623T have a tweeter level control switch (see Figure 10) that lets you boost or cut the tweeter’s level by 3dB. This allows you to adjust the speaker’s brightness to better match your listening room or personal taste.

Once you have installed the speakers, listen

to a variety of music that you are

familiar with. If the music all tends to

 

sound too bright or dull, use the Tweeter
