The Rear Speaker Array The Dymension tower speakers each come with a rear speaker array. These speakers can be adjusted down if there is too much spatial effect. DM70, DM60, and DM40 use a switch to adjust the level of the rear tweeter. DM80 uses a jumper cable to attenuate the entire array. - Page 21 Adjusting the rear array setting DM40, DM60, and DM70: Flip the rear tweeter switch on the back of the speaker to switch between 0dB (full bi-polar) and -6dB (forward focus) mode on the rear tweeter.
