SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS
Pivoting Inner Baffle Adjustment
Your AIM LCR3 Series speakers come from the factory with the inner baffles facing straight.
This will result in the overall smoothest response. However, depending on your particular pri-
mary area, room acoustics, ceiling height, or personal preference, you may find the sound
more pleasing by pointing the inner baffle in a particular direction. If additional sound is
desired in the primary listening area, pivot the inner baffle towards that area; and if less
sound is required, pivot the inner baffle away. Using both hands, push the ridged triangle
areas located at each corner of the baffle to point it in the desired direction. (Figure 5).

Pivoting Tweeter Adjustment
Your AIM LCR3 Series speakers come from the factory with the tweeter facing straight
out from the baffle. This will result in the overall smoothest response. However, depending
on your particular primary area, room acoustics, ceiling height, or personal preference,
you may find the sound more pleasing by pointing the tweeters in a particular direction.
If additional treble is desired in the primary listening area, point the tweeter towards that
area; and if less treble is required, point the tweeter away. Push gently at the edge of the
tweeter to point it in the desired direction. (Figure 6) CAUTION: Avoid touching tweeter
dome as damage WILL occur on metal dome tweeters.

For home theater use, we recommend the following tips:
• If the speakers are being used as main front channels, the AIM LCR3 should be angled
towards the listener.
• If the speakers are being used for rear surround channels, you may wish to pivot the AIM
LCR3 away from the listener to achieve a more diffused sound.
Treble Adjustment (AIM LCR3 Five & AIM LCR3 3):
The switch labeled TREBLE allows for 6dB of tweeter adjustment. Your speakers were
shipped with the Treble switch in the ”+” position, providing +3dB of treble. If you want
less treble, slide the switch to the “–” position and the tweeter will play –3dB of treble.

PAINTING THE SPEAKERS
If you plan to paint your speakers, we recommend that it be done prior to installation. If
you plan to paint your speakers sometime in the future, it is best to remove them by simply
reversing the steps for “SPEAKER INSTALLATION” on page 2. If it is necessary to paint the
speakers while they are still in the ceiling, the paint masks provided in the carton must be
installed in place of the grille while the flange is being painted with the ceiling. The grilles
can also be painted, however, great care should be taken not to clog the holes, as this
will greatly reduce the sound quality of the speakers. SpeakerCraft recommends only light
spray painting using 5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint. Do not paint the grilles while
they are attached to the speaker. If it is necessary to paint the under grille material, follow
the same procedure used to paint the grilles.
