Adjusting the Sound of the System

Once you have checked the system's operation, adjust the sound of the system . Adjusting the
sound of the system is accomplished by setting the level controls and adjusting the internal
crossovers .
Step  Turn the signal source volume control all the way down . Set any tone controls to
their flat or defeated positions . This includes the loudness control .
Step 2 Turn the level controls of the amplifier to their minimum positions .
Step 3 Choose music with high dynamic content that you like, with which you are famil-
iar, and will be used most often in the system .
Step 4 Turn the source unit's volume control up to its highest undistorted output level . If
you lack test equipment, this point occurs between 3/4 to full volume depending
on the quality of your source unit . Listen for any audible distortion . If any distor-
tion is audible, reduce the volume of the source unit until you have an undistorted
output . Leave the volume control at this position during your system tuning .
Step 5 While listening to your chosen dynamic music, turn up the level control corre-
sponding to the midrange output until you hear slight distortion and turn the
level control back slightly for an undistorted output . Depending on your system,
the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels .

slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output .
