Running in

Your new speakers require a little gentle use to allow their working components to settle into their proper working condition. Do not be concerned if your new speakers sound aggressive or lacking in bass. The sound will quickly improve after 48 hours of use.

Fine-tuning

Before fine-tuning make sure that all the connections in the installation are correct and secure and that the speaker has been fully run in.

Removing the protective speaker grills will provide a clearer more focused sound. Moving the speakers from the wall will reduce the general level of bass. Space behind the speakers also helps to create an impression of depth. Conversely, moving the speakers closer to the walls will increase the level of bass.

If the bass is uneven with frequency it is usually due to the excitation of resonance modes in the room. Even small changes in the position of the speakers or the listeners can have a profound effect on how these resonances affect the sound. Try mounting the speakers the speakers along a different wall. Even large pieces of furniture can have an effect.

If the central image is poor, try moving the speakers closer together or toeing them in so they point just in front of the listeners.

If the sound is too harsh, increase the amount of soft furnishings in the room. Heavier curtains may help. Or reduce the amount of soft furnishings is the sound is too dull.
