1.7Crossover Controls

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó

preamplifier to drive your Servo-Controlled Bass amplifier, and your power amplifier is a solid-state design, adjust the phase to 45. If your power amplifier is a transformer-coupled valve design, adjust the phase to 75.

The remote control has two buttons on the lower portion of the hand- held marked “MEM 1” and “MEM 2”. These controls will memorize the settings you have selected. To memorize a setting, point the remote control at the amplifier. Press the MEM1 or MEM2 button and hold down for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, the reading will flash and your new settings will have been memorized.

To recall the memorized setting, press the appropriate memory button once. You may want to memorize two different settings to match your recording's bass level closely, or you may want to use one bass setting for music and yet another for video.

1.7Crossover Controls

You will notice two control knobs on the crossover box. The left hand knob is a volume control for the rear tweeters. Turning this control clockwise will increase the level of the rear tweeters. Use this control if you need a bit more treble or to increase the apparent space of the soundstage. Start with this control at the twelve o'clock (high noon) position.

The control on the right side is a five-position switch used to adjust the soundstage height. Depending on your room acoustics and your amplifier, position three has the sound stage at about the middle – like the soundstage when you are seated in the stalls seats in a concert hall. Position five pushes the soundstage high, like the orchestra level seats, and position one has the lowest soundstage – like you are in the circle seats.

2 Tuning the system

Music is the best way to begin your setup procedure. We suggest that video sources be used only after you have setup the system to properly reproduce music.

We suggest that you start with a single female vocal with instrumental accompaniment because the sound of the human voice is more easily recognizable than many instruments and is the least complex sound to deal with.
