absolute fidelity

anywhere from 45 deg to 135 deg (or require that the input to the Control Module be phase inverted if the power amplifier used is phase inverting).

Now that you have roughed the system in, you may want to experiment with different phase angles. Using the remote control you can adjust the woofer's phase angle up and down in five- degree increments.

The changes are subtle and they usually affect the imaging and soundstage. Listen carefully to the positioning (in acoustic space) of the orchestral players as you change the phase control. You may notice small shifts in their apparent relationship to the other members of the orchestra. Do not expect them to actually move. Expect minute changes in the soundstage, the apparent width of the stage, your ability to distinguish individual players etc. If you reach a phase shift of ninety degrees you have probably gone too far. Using the recommended connection, the phase shift needed is usually 15 degrees or below.

The other change to listen for is rhythm and timing. Adjusting the phase will subtly change the relationship between the bass and the midrange. When you get the phase perfectly correct, you will find that the timing between the vocalist and the double bass “snaps” in place, and your foot will start to tap, and you will sway to the music. This is basically what we term “PRaT” – or Pace, Rhythm and Timing.

With the woofer towers positioned in the recommended placement behind and outside the midrange tweeter panels, low bass in the room should not be a problem. Should you have too much bass, simply turn the volume down on the remote control. Too little, and the opposite will apply.

In general, the low-pass filter and the bass volume goes in opposite directions. With higher bass volume, a lower frequency for the low- pass is needed. And with lower bass volume, a higher frequency is needed for the low-pass.

In some problematic rooms a resonance may develop at one or two frequencies that is unnatural to the music. By moving the woofer towers closer to the rear or side wall or farther from the rear or side wall, the resonance may be reduced at the listener’s
