Brilliance: controls the "air" and definition of a recording above 10kHz
Low-Bass: adjusts the overall weight or heaviness below 75 Hz
Punch: controls the drive or impact felt from the rhythm at 55 Hz
Low-Treble: adjusts the brightness or forwardness above 3kHz
Upper-Bass: adjusts the fullness or bloom of vocals, cello, etc. below 300 Hz
Mid-Bass: determines the apparent speed of decay of bass frequencies.
Reducing will tighten, slight boosts will warm below 150 Hz
The sliders can be adjusted in the same way as the volume control- by placing a finger on the center slider. Moving to the right creates a boost
(more volume) and moving to the left creates a cut (less volume) in the given frequency band. A handy “Reset Sliders” button is available at the
bottom to reset the Contour Sliders.
Individual tonal preferences can vary with mastering engineers as well as listener preference. For this reason it is great to have the flexible
control over voicing of the playback system that Wavelet provides. The Wavelet's carefully designed contour controls allow gentle response
shelving without phasiness or ringing.
TIPS
1. Try a boost of +2.5 dB in the brilliance, a low treble setting of -0.5 dB, a low-bass setting of +2 dB with the punch slider set at +2.5 dB. Now
adjust mid-bass by ear until it seems most natural without excessive thickness.
2. Want a tube-like warmth? Manually increase the output on channels 2 and 6 by 1.2 dB and then trim the brilliance contour to -1.0 dB. Fine
tune the depth by adjusting the low-treble contour.
The most recent slider settings are retained permanently in the Wavelet memory- even if you turn the unit off, Wavelet will remember your
settings.
