  • Page 14: Positioning Fenestria

    Stereo set up POSITIONING FENESTRIA Before completing fenestria assembly by adding the top cabinet and planar wings, we suggest that the loudspeakers be placed as close as possible to their final listening position, as the weight of the completed fenestria makes post-assembly repositioning inadvisable. Thanks to its Advanced Transmission Line design, wide dispersion, ultra-low distortion and smooth bass roll-off, fenestria is more forgiving when it comes to room placement than conventional loudspeakers.

  • Page 23: Fine-Tuning & Running In

    FINE-TUNING FOR THE PERFECT SOUND Once your fenestria is assembled, connected and optimally placed in its listening environment, it can be fine-tuned using the precision bass and treble response controls in the plinth of each loudspeaker. These allow you to adjust the bass response to compensate for the speakers’ position relative to room boundaries, and to tailor the speakers to your room’s acoustics.

  • Page 24: Care & Attention

    CARE & ATTENTION Your fenestria loudspeakers have been designed and hand-built with care and attention by fastidious people at the PMC facility in the UK, where every single component is measured and graded. Every detail, from the individual elements on the crossover and in the drive units right up to the cabinet, has been tested to ensure it meets our exacting standards for performance and reliability.
