FINE TUNING
1. BASS RESPONSE: If you do not have access to test equipment play a record orCD with a repetitive bass line. Try
the speakers in several positions. Beginexperimenting with the speakers approximately 3 feet from a back wall.
Whilelistening to the repetitive bass, move the speaker forward and backward inincrements of about 6 inches. You
should notice positions where the bass isstronger or weaker. Avoid positioning the speaker the same distance from
a sidewall as a back wall. This will sometimes result in “boomy” bass.
While trying different speaker placements, move around the listening area. You will notice the bass is stronger in
some locations than others. This is due to standing waves in the room. You should locate your listening position and
the speakers where the sound seems the most natural.
2. TILT FEATURE: When sitting in a low chair or when seated more than 10 or 12 feet from the speakers, the speakers
should be tilted forward for best frequency balance. To tilt the speakers forward, pull the top of the speaker forward
to allow the flippers on the ends of the feet to drop down. To disengage the flippers simply pull the speaker forward
or reach down and rotate the flipper over the top of the foot.
3. STEREO IMAGING AND DEPTH: Once you have determined the best bassposition, separate the speakers by
60% of the distance from your listening chairto the speakers. For example, if your chair is 10 feet from the
speakers, movethe speakers apart in increments of 3 or 4 inches, listening carefully at eachposition. At some point
you will start to hear two separate speakers instead of a“stage effect.” If you have this “hole-in-the-middle” effect,
your speakers are toofar apart. Begin moving them back together in small increments until you noticea point at
which you achieve one cohesive “sound stage.” Orchestral music isgood for this adjustment.
Try reversing the speakers left to right, and right to left. You should notice a nicely focused sound with good depth
and imaging with the speakers set up according to the “Quick Set-Up” instructions (“1" on the right and “2" on left).
Try them reversed (“2" on right and “1" on left). You will probably prefer one over the other.
