Up/down Arrows
These controls increase or decrease the level of the three functions to their left (BASS, MIDRANGE, and
LEVEL). The digital readout shows the value you have selected.
Midrange
This is an extremely critical control. Adjust it so that the speaker's midrange is full and rich, but perfectly
clear. If the speaker sounds too “thin”, you need to increase the midrange level. If the speaker sounds less
than perfectly clear (“muddy”), then you have the midrange set too high — reduce it. This control is so
important that often only one or two dB will be all the adjustment needed.
There is no “right” or “correct” position for this control since its level depends on the sensitivity and power of
your amplifiers. Turn it up to “90” as a starting point and then adjust it further based on listening to a wide
variety of music over an extended period of time.
This control can be very useful when you encounter poor source material (very common if you use your
system for video). You can temporarily alter your “normal” midrange setting to make thin sounding material
more rich and full. Conversely, if the source lacks high frequencies and clarity, you can turn the midrange
down to improve detail and highs. After you have finished listening to the poor source material, you can then
easily return to your normal setting using the digital readout. Because these settings can be done by remote
control, you can easily get good sound from most any source material without even leaving your listening
chair.
Bass
The bass adjustment allows you to trim the deep bass of the speaker to match the room acoustics. It is a
well-known fact that rooms affect the bass performance of speakers tremendously. Even if a speaker has
perfectly flat bass response in one room, it will not be flat in another. Also, it is sometimes desirable to alter
the bass response to fit your taste.
This control varies the bass response below 100 Hz over a 12 dB range. Start with the bass control at “4”.
Add or subtract bass to your taste after you have obtained a reasonable setting for the midrange.
Loss of Power
If the unit loses power, the on-board micro-processor will have to “reboot” just like a small computer (which
it is). All the settings will go to their “fail-safe” modes, which means all levels will be at zero. You will
have to reset your preferred levels for Bass, Midrange, and Level before you will hear any music. So it is a
good idea to write the values down where they are handy for the rare occasion when you might need them.
