Adjusting the Height of the Soundstage
If the loudspeakers are placed higher than your listening position, we invite you to adjust the height of the
decoupling spikes located at the rear of the loudspeaker (figs. J and K).
If the loudspeakers are positioned lower than the listening position, go through the same adjustment procedure,
this time using the two decoupling spikes located on the front of the monitor.
Running In
The transducers used in SHAPE loudspeakers are complex mechanical assemblies which need a period of running
in to operate at their best and to become acclimatised to the temperature and humidity conditions of your
environment. The length of time this takes can vary according to circumstances, sometimes extending over several
weeks. Avoid listening to the loudspeakers at high volume levels during their first hours of use. To speed this
process up, we recommend you operate the different products for about 20 hours at medium volume, on musical
programmes that are rich in low frequencies. Once the characteristics of the transducers have been stabilised, you
will able to enjoy the performance of your Focal products to the full.
