Switch off all components of your system when cleaning any of these components. Avoid touching the tweeter
domes as any change of their shape may have an impact on sound quality. Clean the cabinet and other plain
parts with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth only. Remove dust on the woofer diaphragms with a fine furniture
brush. All materials used by XTZ are integrated with exceptional care. By taking care of your loudspeakers,
you will preserve the finish and build quality for a very long time
Due to the construction and the driver technology XTZ loudspeakers can be driven with very high power levels.
With a high quality amplifier, delivering undistorted signals, the speakers can achieve high levels without any
compromises in sound quality. Attention must be given to amplifiers with very low power and adjustable tone
controls or switches. These types may soon overreach their own performance limits and may send distorted
output signals to the speakers, compromising even high quality technology. Any damage caused under such
circumstances is not covered by the XTZ warranty.
XTZ Cinema M8 and M8 Tower speaker are equipped with sound tuning possibilities as a part of our room
tuning concept.
Tweeter level
On the backside of the Cinema M8 and M8 Tower (above the speaker terminals), there is a switch which
will alter the tweeter sound characterisitcs. Choose between either 0 dB (neutral sound), + 2 dB (increased
higher frequencies) or -2 dB (damped higher frequencies), based upon your own preference to treble level
and the positioning of speakers related to your listening space.
Bassreflexport (M8 Tower Only)
It is furthermore possible to change the characteristics of the bass performance for the Cinema M8 Tower.
By using the supplied bass plug in the bass reflex port, you can alter the lower boundary frequency of the
speaker. This makes it possible to tune the bass characteristics of the speaker to your listening environment
and personal taste.
