Sound Balance
The sound balance, or tilt filter, represents
a refined way to affect the overall tone of the
speaker. Depending on the room treatment
among other factors, it may be necessary to make
the loudspeaker darker or brighter than the normal
setting. A dead sounding room with a great deal
of treatment might need a brighter setting than a
live room with many reflective surfaces.
Sound Balance has three settings:
• Bright (20Hz -1.5dB, 20kHz +1.5dB)
• Neutral
• Dark (20Hz +1.5dB, 20kHz -1.5dB)
What this filter actually does is tilt the entire
spectrum by 1.5dB at either end using minimal
phase or linear phase filters to either brighten or
darken the overall response. This minimal filter
alters the tonality without inducing audible phase
anomalies, thereby maximizing the linearity of the
loudspeaker.
Position
If you have positioned your speakers within
50cm of a back wall boundary, the position
switch should be placed in the “Wall” setting.
This will help with anomalies created by reflec-
tions coming off the back wall, especially in the
lower frequencies. If your speakers are placed
further than 50 cm from any wall surface, use
the “Free” setting.
