Room correction

Level adjustment

The SOLITAIRE S loudspeakers can easily be adjusted to suit the acoustic qualities of
the listening room, or to particular conditions and speaker positions.
For example, it may well be necessary to reduce the bass range if the speakers are set
up close to a wall.
To facilitate these adjustments you will find three switches (marked BASS, MID and TRE-
BLE) on the rear terminal of the speaker cabinet; each switch has three positions: +1.5
dB, LIN and -1.5 dB.
BASS
If the loudspeakers are set up in a listening room a considerable distance from the walls
(> 1.5 m) we recommend setting the switch to +1.5 dB.
If the loudspeakers are set up in a listening room close to the walls, in our experience
the best results in terms of sound are obtained with the switch set to 0 dB.
If the loudspeakers are set up in one corner of the room, the result can be excessive
bass emphasis. The 1.5 dB setting compensates for this effect.
MID / TREBLE
On the rear of each speaker you will also find two additional switches for adjusting the
treble and mid-range response to suit the listening room. The default position for both
switches is 0 dB.
These switches enable you to adjust the level by +/ 1.5 dB, and the adjustment is de-
signed to compensate for very „hard" (highly reflective) or very „soft" (highly damped)
rooms. For rooms which tend to echo, we recommend the 1.5 dB setting.
In contrast, a lift of 1.5 dB may be helpful in rooms which tend to damp sound down.
