Pivoting Tweeter

The Merlot 422MR speaker has 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 9. Take care not to touch or apply pressure to the tweeter dome itself.
