output levels with relatively modest wattage. Secondly, you will be able to easily "dial in" the perfect balance of
the system. A speaker that sounds a bit too full and warm when placed flush in the wall may well sound too
lean when stand mounted. The speaker that sounds perfect to your friend might be just a bit too lean for your
taste. Your associated components may be very pleasing overall, but perhaps not as full sounding as you'd
like. With the AWS the solution is as easy as a slight twist of the low-frequency section volume control.
The AWS is really all about control. You gain the ability to precisely control the sound of your speakers
to most perfectly fit how you want them to sound. At the same time, the full capability and resolution of your
system remain completely intact. There are simply no compromises with ACI's new AWS System. Take
control!
Specifications for the AWS system:
Rotary control for infinite adjustment of woofer level
Rotary control for 30-300Hz adjustment of woofer cutoff frequency
Rotary control for 0-180 degree adjustment of woofer phase
Two separate bands of parametric equalization (EQ) for the woofer range. Either or both of these
bands may be completely "switched out" of the circuit or switched in with the push of a button
Each band of EQ has three controls:
Level -9db to +6db
Center Frequency 30-175Hz
Q from 4-40 (width of the boost or cut)
At the factory, all controls are set and marked for a normally "flat" or neutral response. You may actually find
this response to be ideal for your room and system with no further adjustments required. A separate user's
manual for the AWS details how to adjust the controls for the specific sonic changes you require. You can go
back to the factory settings at any time.
We've attempted to show you some of the important design considerations that go into the Talisman system.
To fully document the design process would require many hundreds of pages. We haven't even discussed the
extremely high level of quality control that must be exercised in the drivers, crossovers and enclosure to
