FINISHING TOUCH – PIVOTABLE TWEETER
All speaker models, except the stereo ceiling models, have pivot-able tweeters. As mentioned in the
speaker placement section, the tweeter should be level to the listener’s ear.
Adequate Tweeter Direction
Optimum Tweeter Direction
Gently push the edge of the tweeter frame to adjust the angle. Be careful not to touch the dome
portion of the tweeter. The tweeter must be treated with care to maintain it’s high performance
characteristics.
FINISHING TOUCH – TWEETER & EQUALIZATION SWITCH
All XA series speakers are designed with a 3-position equalization switch. The center position is
nominal (normal position). Moving the speaker switch towards the “+” will increase the equalization
response. Moving the speaker switch towards the “-“ will decrease the equalization response. The
equalization will affect the treble and bass.
All XB series speakers are designed with a 3-postion tweeter switch. The center position is nominal
(normal position). Moving the speaker switch towards the “+” will increase the tweeter response.
Moving the speaker switch towards the “-“ will decrease the tweeter response. The tweeter will affect
the treble only.
FINISHING TOUCH – PAINTING
The frame and grill can be painted to match the wall or ceiling color. Included is a paint shield that is
meant to replace the grill on the speaker assembly. This will protect the speaker while exposing only
the frame.
The grill should not be painted while assembled to the speaker assembly. It is suggested to use spray
paint on the grill. Be sure the perforations (holes) in the grill do not fill with paint. Several light coats
will yield the best results.
