Page 13: Chapter 7-1 Speaker Orientation
Chapter 7-1 Speaker orientation Speakers with “mirrored” tweeter: MTS-01 and SCS-01 In any audio system, your room’s shape and the position of any speaker in that room, plus your own position, all affect the way sound which reaches your ears. Sound bounces off of walls, or it can be absorbed by nearby furniture or floor coverings. - Page 14 Chapter 8-1 Tweeter attenuation (MTS-01 Only) Tweeter Attenuation Control: rooms which are acoustically treated with panels and diffusers. In rooms without acoustical treatments, and which have a significant per- centage of exposed and highly reflective surfaces (drywall, brick, glass), you may find the standard tweeter setting too ―bright‖ and accentuated. In such instances, try the attenuated tweeter setting, which mitigates some of the extreme high frequencies and will sound ―softer‖...

Page 18: Speaker "Level Calibration"
SVSound Speaker “Level Calibration”: simply a method to ensure ―all speakers play back the same volume when the same volume signal is fed to each. Correct speaker playback levels are critical to reproducing the ―soundstage‖ intended by the musical artist or movie director. - Page 19 - 6 dB however, since some provision for further downward adjustment by your AVR’s re- mote control should be maintained. If your subwoofer SPL reading is too low, raise the gain at the subwoofer amp before changing the AVR settings. SV Sound...
