Setting Switches

Once the speakers are wired, mounted, and positioned correctly, use the EQ switches to fine-tune the speakers based on local environ- mental variables such as hardwood floors, thick draperies, etc. The two EQ switches are labelled “EQ” (Equalizer) and “BASS”. The EQ switch compensates for the “liveness” or “deadness” of the room while the BASS switch cuts bass by aproximately - 20dB.

EQ Switch

Select the W (Warm) position on the EQ switch to compensate for “live” rooms where sound bounces and reflects from hard surfaces like tile or hardwood floors, large glass surfaces/windows, stone or brick walls, etc. Select the B (Bright) position to compensate for “dead” rooms where sound is absorbed by soft materials like heavy drapes, thick carpeting, upholstered furniture, etc. Use the N (Neutral) position if no compensation is required.

BASS Switch

Select the + position for normal bass operation if the speaker is used full-range without a subwoofer. Select the 0 position to reduce bass frequencies by aprox. 20dB. The 0 option is designed to protect the the speaker during high volume operation and should only be used when a subwoofer is present in the system.
