FRAMELESS IN-WALL SPEAKER
However, getting the best tonal balance in any given room involves many variables. Therefore, the SW-85 and SW-95 speak-
ers allow you to alter their tonal balance in order to get the ideal sound quality at your favorite listening location (where it counts!),
for the program and playback levels you are using—all by selecting the appropriate combination of input terminals to connect the
speakers to your amplifier.
The terminals are labeled EQUALIZED and NORMAL. The label is on the crossover printed circuit board. Both positions
have the same power handling capacity, but the NORMAL position plays the loudest, and works best with low powered amplifiers.
Bear in mind that the NORMAL terminal requires a higher setting of the subwoofer level. Conversely, if you switch to the
EQUALIZED terminal, the subwoofer level should be set lower.
We provide the multiple terminals because we cannot predict in advance exactly what response the speaker will produce in
your room. The choices available through the terminals, however, can allow you to create a virtually ideal response for your room
and program material. Hence, you should use the terminals that best balance the sound for your ears and your room, so that you
get maximum enjoyment from your speakers.
MAXIMUM OUTPUT / NORMAL OUTPUT TERMINALS (SW-85 and SW-95 only)
EQUALIZED (Lower-Level Music Playback)
The EQUALIZED terminal gives you a response that is optimized for playback of music at moderate and background
music levels. It gives you a warm "musical" sound with a response tailored to the ear's hearing sensitivity at moderate
and low volume levels. This terminal will produce the greatest perceived bass output, so it should be used when the
speaker is being played without a subwoofer. Very similar in character to the finest British-manufactured monitor
speakers, but with a significantly wider dynamic range, this speaker's characteristic is sometimes referred to as the
"English Sound."
NORMAL (Reference-Level/Film Playback)
The NORMAL terminal gives you a response that is optimized for playback of film soundtracks and playback of music at
It gives you a bright, "forward" sound with greater efficiency and a wider dynamic range with a slightly rising high
frequency characteristic, as compared to the EQUALIZED terminal.
This input is particularly useful for producing maximum sound power levels, especially with low-powered amplifiers. It is
recommended when the speakers are used as surround speakers, as its high frequency contour can improve the high
