Adjustments
To make the adjustments easier, it is recommended that
you create a temporary extension cable for the power,
ground, remote and preamp cables that will allow you to
extend the PSC-221 to the drivers seat. This will enable
you to make adjustments while listening to the system.
For a starting point, set both the left and right phase
controls to the fully clockwise position, the phase invert
switches to the out position and the ByPass button to
the out position.
Choose a selection of music that has a clearly defined
vocal and acoustic track. This will be very helpful in
placing the center image where you want it to be.
Listen to the music you have selected for a few moments
prior to making any adjustments. Pay close attention to
the location of the individual instruments and the vocalist.
Once you have a good feel for their locations throughout
the stage begin making adjustments by moving the right
and left phase controls in unison. Start from the far right
(or clockwise position), sweep both controls from right to
left listening for an improvement in the bass location.
You want the bass to become localized up front.
If you still can’t localize the sub bass up front you may
need to reverse the phase invert switches on the
endplate.
Once you have the sub base up front, continue making
small adjustments of both phase controls. Move the
detented controls together, but in opposited directions
one position at a time, until you have achieved the desired
stage for your system. Remember, this adjustment is very
subjective and will take time to achieve the correct
combinations of settings for your particular system. Listen
to several tracks now, and check your progress using
the bypass switches.
