Parasound PAL-265 owner manual High, Three Position Treble Adjustment

Fine Tuning the Frequency Response of Your Loudspeakers

Three Position Treble Adjustment

High

The PAL-265 treble adjustment switch allows you to adjust the tweeter level from 0 dB (flat) to -3 dB or + 3 dB. If you are mounting the speaker in a “live” room with many reflective surfaces, you may want to attenuate the treble response and tame sibilance. If you are mounting the speaker in a room with many absorptive surfaces, you may want to boost the treble response.

Mid Two Position Mid-Bass Contour Adjustment

The PAL-265 mid adjustment switch allows you to attenuate the mid response from 0 dB (flat) to -3 dB. If you mounted the PAL-265 near a corner of a wall, you may notice additional boominess of the bass response. You can attenuate the mid-bass response by setting the mid switch to the -3 dB position.

Installation Instructions for NC/K-M Rough-In Kits

Follow these instructions if you will cut the final hole for the speaker with a pin router.

1.Determine the final cutout location of the Custom Series loudspeaker.

2.Install one of the 25" mounting bars horizontally between two studs with the slot facing up and toward you.

3.Use a level or carpenter’s square before nailing or screwing the bar into the studs.

4.Slide the cutout frame into the desired location with the 3/8" tabs facing toward you.

5.Place the other 25" horizontal bar onto the top of the cutout frame and nail or screw it into the studs.

6.Flatten the outer edge of the slot of the mounting bars against the studs with a hammer to keep the frame from sliding.

7.Once the drywall has been hung, use a pin router to cut out the hole against the outer edge of the cutout frame.

8.Install the Custom Series loudspeaker as shown above in Installing in Existing Walls and Ceilings.

Note: If you will cut the final hole for the speaker with keyhole saw, replace steps 7 and 8 with these:

7.Once the drywall has been hung, use a keyhole or similar saw to cut the hole to the inside edge of the frame.

8.Install the Custom Series loudspeaker as shown above in Installing in Existing Walls and Ceilings. Make sure the Custom Series mounting bracket is installed on the speaker with the slotted side facing toward you and the flat side facing away from you. This allows the upper and lower sections of the mounting bracket to fit into the upper and lower tabs of the cutout frame.
