Tweeter and Midrange Level Controls

The V832

DR

, V833

DR

and V834

DR

have a tweeter level control switch that lets

you boost or cut the tweeter’s level by 3dB. The V833

DR

and V834

DR

also have

a midrange level control that lets you
boost or cut the midrange level by 3dB.

Once you have installed the speakers,
listen to a variety of music that you are
familiar with. If the music all tends to
sound too bright or dull, use the
Tweeter Control to compensate. If the
music  all tends to have too much or
too little presence, use the Midrange
Control to compensate.

If some

recordings sound dull or lack presence
and some sound bright and have too
much presence, the speaker is accu-
rately reproducing differences in the
recordings, and you should leave the
control in the middle (0dB) position.
