ENGLISH

Before ne tuning, make sure that all the connections in the

installation are correct and secure.

Moving the speakers further from the walls will generally reduce

the volume of bass. Space behind the speakers will also help

to create an aural impression of depth. Conversely, moving the

speakers closer to the walls will increase the volume of bass.

If you want to reduce the volume of bass without moving the

speakers further from the wall, t the foam plugs or, for less

severe bass reduction, the foam rings in the port tubes (above).

If the bass seems uneven with frequency this will most probably

be a consequence of the acoustic properties of your listening

room. Even small changes in the position of the speakers

or listening position can have a signicant effect on sonic

performance, especially at low frequencies. Try moving your

listening position or locating your speakers along a different wall

if possible.

If no alternatives exist, you can adjust your loudspeakers’

low-frequency performance using the supplied foam bungs.

The bungs are a two-piece part, allowing for a degree of

ne-tuning using either the outer, larger-diameter piece

in isolation or the two parts together. Using solely the outer,

larger-diameter foam bung will deliver less bass attenuation

than the complete bung assembly.

If using oor stands to support the speakers, ensure that they

rest rmly on the oor. Use carpet piercing spikes if appropriate

and adjust them to take up any unevenness. If you are using

our FS-CM S2 stands, we recommend mass-loading them to

deliver the best combination of stability and performance. We

recommend lling each stand to its maximum available volume

using an appropriate material such as kiln-dried sand.
