of

40°
between the two sound sources. The
distance
from
one loudspeaker enclosure to the other
is
determined
by their distance
from
the listener and by
the
40°
"listening angle."
Loudspeakers may be positioned
at
any height above
the
floor, although locating the high frequency direct
radiator
near ear level usually gives the most realistic
suggestion of
a
live
performance.
Bass
response
will
be augmented if the enclosures are placed near adjacent
room
surfaces, such
as
in
a
corner or on
a
wall
near the
floor
or ceiling.
The
L36
is
provided
with
a
Presence
control to
regulate the relative loudness of the midrange
transducer and
a
Brilliance control to adjust the volume
of
level of the high frequency direct radiator. These
controls
adjust the output of the component
loudspeakers to achieve realistic tonal
balance
in
a
variety
of room conditions.
The
controls are calibrated in terms of
a
reference level,
indicated
by
a
"0" on the instruction plate. When both
the
Presence
and Brilliance controls are set at this level,
the
loudspeaker system
will
be
