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. These will depend on how many hard, reflective surfaces and
soft furnishings your room has, whether the room is carpeted, and so on.

Always mute your amplifier whilst adjusting the HF & LF controls
HF (Treble) adjustment
• High-quality vocal/speech recordings or broadcasts
are good tests for correctly adjusted HF controls.
• Play a suitable vocal or speech recording through your
speakers.

B
• Adjust the treble response using the HF response switch.
• When the HF response is correctly set, the speech or
vocals should sound defined, completely natural.
