Speaker Adjustments

Pivoting Tweeter

All Merlot M-series speakers 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 sound- stage 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 tweeters 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 12. Take care not to touch or apply pressure to the tweeter dome itself.

Tweeter Level Control

The Merlot 423M has a tweeter level control switch (see Figure 13) that boosts or cuts 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 Level Control to compensate. If some recordings sound dull and some sound bright the speaker is accurately reproducing differences in the recordings, and you should leave the control in the middle (0dB) position.
