Small rooms have more bass gain, hence the smaller the room, the higher the low-pass frequency to use, and the lower the bass gain level. The larger the room, the lower the low-pass frequency to use, and the higher the bass gain. The two knobs are turned in opposite directions – what you want to achieve is balance.

Imaging and Soundstage

If your vocal selection is a well-recorded audiophile CD or LP, the performer should appear to come from behind the loudspeakers and be at the appropriate height and size for a person. If it is not, there are several remedies that will address this.

If the vocal appears to be larger than life, you should first check the system volume. Is it a volume that would be appropriate for someone actually singing in your room? If there is too much volume the artist will appear too big and the opposite is true

for too little volume.

If the volume is set correctly and the image is still too big, place the speakers closer together and listen again. Place the speakers no less than 5 feet apart. If the image is still too big, toe the speakers in by a slight amount.

Conversely, if the image is too small, move the speakers apart. The speakers should be no more than nine feet apart. Repeat this process till you have it right. If the voice is too low in height, turn the midrange control up (turning the knob clockwise) and the image of the voice will move upward slightly. However, this will also at the same time make the speakers sound more forward.

If you have the speakers 20% of the way into the room, and you are not getting enough front to back depth (the singer not appearing behind the speaker enough) pull the speakers away from the front wall a little bit at a time. If you do not have them pulled far enough away, you may not have enough front to back depth. However, slightly more than 1/3 of the way into the room is about as far as you want to go. Pulling them half-way into the middle of the room is unlikely to help (and probably incur the wrath of your spouse).

Find the best compromise for your room, your tastes and your space requirements. If you are not getting proper focus on the voice, you may angle the left and right speaker up to about 15 to 20 degrees
