BREAK-IN
The VRs use proprietary drivers custom made for this system. Raw drivers are broken in for roughly 200 hours at considerable volume to reach suspension behavior’s “steady state” prior to actual loudspeaker development. By contrast, production units receive 12 to 24 hours of
Note that it may take several months or longer to break the speakers in if only quiet music is played at background levels.
Classical music played quietly does not contain enough bass or dynamics (in most cases) to do a proper job, so we suggest using a CD player on repeat, using a loud rock album or
INITIAL SETUP
Please do not install the spikes until the proper placement has been determined. You will be moving the speakers several times in order to listen to different aspects of the optimization, and the spikes will only make the movement more difficult. Since the spikes tighten the bass dramatically, and also increase the image focus, do not worry unduly about these two parameters until later in the setup process. Without the spikes, the bass may be too “thick” and the image will not be as tightly focused, but these effects will be eliminated after
Also, turn off the rear ambience drivers by rotating their volume controls counter- clockwise until the setup is complete. Please refer to the section regarding the REAR AMBIENCE DRIVER.
