c. Crossover: After adjusting the Phase-Control, it will
be necessary to determine the best crossover range
for your in-room performance. Turn this control to the
lowest setting available. It may be necessary to again
adjust the overall volume. Most frequently at this point
it will be necessary to raise the volume a position or
two. Then adjust or raise the crossover setting until
the overall bass performance begins to become
overwhelming or “boomy.” When this happens, lower
the crossover setting until the “boominess” goes away.
e. Fine Adjustments: At this point you may find that a
position or two higher on crossover will sound better
with the overall volume a position or two lower. This
will produce a slightly “warmer” bass contour while the
opposite of having the volume a bit higher but a
crossover setting that is slightly lower will produce a
“faster” and more powerful lower bass output. This
final fine adjustment process is of personal preference
and thus listening to a couple different pieces of music
should be used for this step.
Note: It is usually better to use a lower crossover
setting with slightly higher overall volume settings in
order obtain the optimum in room bass extension.
Since all speakers have different performance in all
rooms and with different associated other equipment,
it is impossible to determine what the final setting for
the crossover, gain or even phase will ultimately be.
The only way to properly setup this device, or any
other piece of a fine audio or audio/video equipment,
is by listening.
Thank you and Happy Listening!
