4.1 Controls
On the rear side you will find controls that allow detailed
fine-tuning of your loudspeakers to your particular room
acoustics and personal listening preferences. The following
tips are intended to assist you at using the controls in the
best manner.
Please note that using the controls may have a great impact
on the overall sound characteristics of your loudspeakers.
We recommend using the controls with utmost care and
only after several audio tests with familiar recordings.
4.2 EQ > 5kHz
The EQ > 5kHz is a shelving filter, which progressively raises or lowers the frequencies
above 5kHz up to ±6 dB (at 20kHz).
4.3 Level
The Level control works for the whole frequency range and lets you adjust the overall vol-
ume of the speaker from -∞ dB to +6dB (+12dB for SubF).
While the speakers are designed to withstand full power operation with normal music sig-
nals there is a slight risk of permanently damaging the tweeter when continuous sine-waves
or other test signals at high power and with frequencies above 2kHz are applied. Be careful
with this kind of anomalous signals.
4.4 EQ < 300Hz
The EQ < 300Hz is a shelving filter, which progressively raises or lowers the frequencies
below 300Hz up to ±6 dB (at 100Hz). When using a subwoofer, you may want to increase or
decrease the sub’s volume accordingly, for a seamless integration with the subwoofer.
4.4 Highpass Filter (80Hz)
If you want to use your F-speakers as satellites in conjunction with
the SubF, it is advisable to cut the low frequencies on your monitors
which will result in improved clarity and dynamic range since they
do not have to deliver large amplitudes. Further, correct phase and
magnitude response of the Sub+Sat combination is assured this
way for a typical setup.
