make it sound real. You may have to return to the vocal to make
sure you have not gone too far in one direction.
If, at this point, it does not have enough mid bass, turn the low pass
number to a higher position or, alternately, position the main
speakers closer together in order to achieve better mid bass
coupling between the main speakers. If it sounds too “fat” turn the
low pass control down or adjust the volume. At this point it is
suggested to use the low pass filter control until you get to the
refinement stage.
Imaging and Soundstage
If your vocal selection is a well-recorded audiophile CD or LP, the
performer should appear to come from behind the loudspeakers
and be at the appropriate height for a standing person. If it is not,
there are several remedies that will address this.
If the vocal appears to be larger than life, you should first check the
system volume. Is it a volume that would be appropriate for
someone actually singing in your room? If there is too much
volume the artist will appear too big and the opposite is true
for too little volume. If the volume is set correctly and the image is
still too big, toe the woofer towers in a slight amount or place
them closer together and re-listen. Repeat this process till you
have it right. If the voice is too low in height, turn the midrange
control to the next highest position and the image of the voice will
move upward slightly.
If you have the speakers only 20% away from the front wall, and
you are not getting enough front to back depth (the singer not
appearing behind the speaker enough) pull the midrange tweeter
panels away from the front wall a little bit at a time. If you do not
have them pulled far enough away, you may not have enough
front to back depth. If you get the speakers much beyond 1/3 of
the way into the room, it is unlikely that pulling them further away
is reasonable.
Find the best compromise for your room, your tastes and your
space requirements. If the speakers are too far apart you will lose
the side image and if they are too close together you will have too
small a center stage. We recommend you begin with six to seven
feet apart as measured from tweeter to tweeter. If you are not
getting proper focus on the voice, you may angle the midrange
