AT-2 High Performance Loudspeaker with H-PAS™ Technology

High Frequency Energy Control

This control changes the relative output level of the tweeter. It has been designed to help compensate for different room acoustics and personal listening preferences. The “0” position is the most “accurate” frequency response, but that does not mean that it is necessarily the“recommended” position.

The“+” and“–” positions adjust the tweeter’s output by very slight amounts over its entire operating range,from 2kHz to 20kHz.These positions change what’s known as the speaker’s“spectral balance” by altering the proportion of treble to bass over a wide frequency band.

Such adjustments,although relatively subtle,can make the AT-2 more suit- able to different acoustic environments or tailor its sound more closely to one’s tastes.

We encourage you to experiment with the different tweeter settings to find the one that sounds best in your room.

Caring for your Speakers

Clean your cabinets using a soft, lint-free cloth.If you wish, you can slightly moisten the cloth with plain water. Do not use any other cleaning agents or chemicals. Be careful not to get any water on the driver cones or tweeter domes. After carefully removing the grilles from the speakers by pulling them forward, gently clean the grilles with a quick pass from a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. This should remove any dust accumula- tion.Reattach them by lining up the magnet depressions in the back of the grilles with the magnets on the speaker baffle and slowly moving them closer until they connect with each other.

Avoid placing your speakers in direct sunlight or near a source of heat that may, over time, damage the finish.

IMPORTANT: SAVE YOUR BOXES! If you can do so, save the cartons, packing pieces, and plastic bags that came with your speakers. They will be useful in case you move or have to ship your loudspeakers for any reason. In any case, save all packing materials until you are certain that the systems have suffered no damage in shipment. If you find such damage, either visible or internal, contact your dealer immedi- ately.
