Treble tilt control
Treble tilt (third switch group from the left) allows adjusting the treble response above 5 kHz by +2,
An acoustic measuring system such as MLSSA or WinMLS is recommended for analyzing the effects of the adjustments, however, careful listening with suitable test recordings can also lead to good results if a test system is not available. Table 1 shows some typical settings in various situations. Figures 8 and 10 show the effect of the controls on the anechoic response.
Always start adjustment by setting all switches to "OFF” position. Then set only one switch per group to the "ON" position to select the desired adjustment. If more than one switch is set to "ON" (within one switch group) the attenuation value is not accurate.
Measure or listen systematically through the different combinations of settings to find the best frequency balance.
Maintenance
No user serviceable parts are to be found within the loudspeaker cabinet or the ampli-
fier unit. Any maintenance or repair of the loudspeaker should only be undertaken by qualified service personnel.
Safety considerations
Although the 8040A and 8050A have been designed in accordance with international safety standards, to ensure safe operation and to maintain the loudspeaker under safe operating conditions, the following warnings and cautions must be observed:
1.Servicing and adjustment must only be performed by qualified service personnel. The loudspeaker must not be opened.
2.Do not use this product with an unearthed mains cable as this may lead to personal injury.
3.To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to water or moisture. Do not place any objects filled with liquid, such as vases on the loudspeaker or near it.
4. Note that the amplifier is not completely disconnected from the AC mains service unless the mains power cord is removed from the amplifier or the mains outlet.
5.Free flow of air behind the loudspeaker is necessary to maintain sufficient cooling. Do not obstruct airflow around the loudspeakers.
WARNING!
Genelec 8040A and 8050A loudspeakers are capable of producing sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB, which may cause permanent hearing damage.
