A62W/A82W TREBLE Switch

Once the speakers are wired, mounted, and positioned correctly, use the TREBLE switch (if applicable) to fi ne-tune the speakers based on local environmental variables such as hardwood

floors, thick draperies, etc. Select the “+” position to increase Treble response or select the “-” position if no increase is desired.

A82SW XOVER SWITCH

The Crossover switch adjusts the upper frequency limit of sound that emanates from the sub- woofer. This switch has three positions: 80Hz, 120Hz, and 180Hz. Correctly setting the XOVER level is paramount to a smooth transition between the main speakers and the subwoofer. Set- ting this switch too low causes a gap to occur in the audio that makes the main speakers seem disconnected from the bass, an audible separation of sound that does not seem natural. Setting the switch too high causes bass to be produced too strongly because of overlapping frequencies between the main speakers and subwwoofer. This causes a “muddy” sound and reduces the overall clarity of the audio.

It is important to experiment with the XOVER switch upon initial setup to obtain the clearest, smoothest sound possible. Try all three settings, and leave the switch in the location it sounds best. See Figure 3-13.
