Speaker Adjustments

Pivoting Woofer and Tweeter

All Visual Performance Series 6” in-ceiling speakers have a pivoting tweeter and all except the VP65RTL and VP65STL have a pivoting woofer assembly. These pivoting drivers allow 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 woofer and/or 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 pivoting the woofer and/or tweeter towards a wall or window, away from the listeners.

To Pivot the Tweeter:

Apply light pressure to the plastic ring around the outside edge of the tweeter dome, as shown in Figure 7 (left). Take care not to touch or apply pressure to the tweeter dome itself.

To Pivot the Woofer:

Apply pressure on the outer edge of one of the tweeter support brackets, as shown in Figure 7, (right). Do not touch or apply pressure to the woofer cone.
