Setting Switches

Once the speakers are wired, mounted, and positioned correctly, use

the built-in switches to ﬁ ne-tune the speakers based on local envi-

ronmental variables or system design parameters. The switches are

labelled “EQ” (Equalizer) and “BASS” (for THP650W and THP525W).

The EQ switch compensates for the “liveness” or “deadness” of the

room while the BASS switch cuts bass by aproximately - 20dB. The

THP650D has an “EQ” switch and a “PHASE” switch. The “PHASE”

switch is essential for proper dipole functionality.

EQ Switch (THP650W/THP525W)

Select the W (Warm) position on the EQ switch to compensate for

“live” rooms where sound bounces and reﬂ ects from hard surfaces

like tile or hardwood ﬂ oors, large glass surfaces/windows, stone

or brick walls, etc. Select the B (Bright) position to compensate for

“dead” rooms where sound is absorbed by soft materials like heavy

drapes, thick carpeting, upholstered furniture, etc. Use the N (Neutral)

position if no compensation is required.

BASS Switch (THP650W/THP525W)

Select the + position for normal bass operation if the speaker is used

full-range without a subwoofer. Select the 0 position to reduce bass

frequencies by aprox. 20dB. The 0 option is designed to protect the

the speaker during high volume operation and should only be used

when a subwoofer is present in the system.
