STRAUSS
Please take care of further important features of STRAUSS: On the backside of
STRAUSS, on the terminal, under the binding posts, you will find a sinking,
housing a tiny switch, possible to be moved by any sharp tool like a spike. This
is an important room tuning aid: It allows you to influence high frequencies.
Symbols:
N is for Neutral
- is for smoothened tweeter response.
This switch provides you with the perfection in room tuning: In Neutral-position
the switch has no connection to the crossover, but with the lowering switch
position you are able to fine-tune on conditions like bright sounding, reflective
rooms, echoing undamped walls, or any other “cold” circumstances like
analytical electronic environment, gaining back the so important natural
balance.
You can influence STRAUSS´ environment not only with the switches, but by
positioning STRAUSS regarding his basses on the side. As they are mounted on
one side of the cabinet (left and right speaker), it is possible to let them fire
inwards or outwards and so to influence the bass response to match room
acoustic. This room-tuning is made possible by the bass-modes in a room,
which change immediately by being stimulated on different places. As an
indication, in most cases a positioning with basses outwards creates a more
powerful bass response, whereas basses inwards tend to more slender bass
reaction. We suggest to start with position “outwards“.
Base mounting:
The beautiful lyric base decouples the frontplate and features a choice of
adjustable 3-spike-point or 4-spike-point application:
We suggest to use the 4-spike-point application, both for perfect weight
allocation (when fine-tuned thoroughly by yourself with adjusting the spikes to
the surface of your floor), and for maximum safety in terms of stability.
The 3-spike-point application provides the weight allocation automatically, but
may only be used in safe circumstances, with no persons or animals possible
to collide with the speaker however.
