is false. Real music is coherent, it is in phase. You do not get the snare
180 degrees out of phase with the bass drum!
For this very simple reason, the ideal is no capacitance at all or perhaps the
best of both worlds is the option of both!
Selecting the Mid Frequency Range Attenuated terminal.
One wire is changed in order to select the alternative. The positive feed to
the mid range system terminal should be moved to the attenuated terminal to
enable higher power output levels to be achieved. A 6dB per octave roll off
of low frequency energy is used to enable this mode of operation.
Optional Terminal 2. High Frequencies
High frequencies exert an enormous influence over the impression of the
sound. Different listening rooms that incorporate soft furnishings as opposed
to hard surface interiors will cause a big change in the perceived
performance. The high frequencies are the frequencies that are more difficult
to perceive with age and the personnel preferences of the listener all directly
related to the tweeter and its output. We have set the system so as to provide
the correct level in a typical room response but because the variety of rooms
that the Bishop will be played in will probably be as diverse as one can
possibly imagine At this level of performance we feel that it is important to
be able to effect changes over the balance of the high frequency output. The
attenuated terminal in this case allows for simply a small reduction in the
efficiency of the tweeter output..
Selecting the High Frequency Range Attenuated terminal.
One wire is changed in order to select the alternative. The positive feed to
the high frequency terminal should be moved to the attenuated terminal to
reduce the high frequency output by 3 dB.
