Description of Controls

The unit features a comprehensive set of controld to tune the performance
of each speaker according to the conditions of use. The response may be
shaped by a combination of three parametric equalisers, each having a
switchable range of +3dB, -3dB and -6dB, and low- and high-frequency
contour controls, the effects of which are illustrated in figure 19. Selection
of the subwoofer low-pass filter frequency also provides some response
adjustment. In addition, level controls are provided to compensate for any
differences in gain between both the subwoofer and LF power amplifiers
compared to the MF/HF power amplifier.
To access the front of the unit, remove the decorative face plate by
removing the Philips screws at either end.
