Rear Panel Controls

When looking at the rear of the speaker, there are two knobs. The knob on the left should

be set to “far” unless the speaker is <2ft from two nearby boundaries and the sound is

too “chesty”, “thick” or “full” in the low midrange. Then the left knob can be set to the

“near” position, which raises the level of the midrange and tweeter to compensate for this

boundary reinforcement from the nearby walls.

The knob on the right is rear tweeter level. Adjust this “to taste”. The extreme treble of

most rooms can lack some “air” and spaciousness, particularly in large rooms or those

with a lot of furnishings that are acoustically absorptive in nature (drapes/curtains, thick

carpets etc.). There is no “right” or “wrong” setting, just the one that you prefer with this

control. You have ve settings from “o” to dierent levels of “on,” which adds additional

treble output from the rear of the speaker to slightly change the tonal balance in-room,

without aecting the direct sound of the speaker.
