listening environment.
However, getting the best tonal balance in any given room involves many variables. Therefore, your S-1C
Satellites allow you to alter their tonal balance in order to get the ideal sound quality at your favorite listening location
(where it counts!), through the use of two three-position switches.
The best way to find the ideal setting for these switches is to listen to some familiar music with the switches in the
NORMAL position, and then listen to how the sound changes as you set the switches to the other positions.
If you find the sound to be too bright, try the TREBLE CONTOUR switch in the NORMAL or LOW TWEETER
position. You can also try setting the MIDRANGE CONTOUR switch to NORMAL or LOW EFFICIENCY. If the sound
lacks brilliance or sounds bass-heavy, set the TREBLE CONTOUR switch to HIGH TWEETER or set the MIDRANGE
CONTOUR switch to HIGH EFFICIENCY or NORMAL.
It is not possible to tell in advance which settings will produce the ideal response (which is a flat frequency
response at your ears), because this is dependent on your room, its size, its furnishings, your listening location, and
more. The switch choices, however, can help you create the ideal response in your room. Therefore, set the switches
for the best sound balance for your ears and your room, giving you maximum enjoyment from your speakers.
S-1C MIDRANGE CONTOUR SWITCH
The MIDRANGE CONTOUR switch is the primary control for altering the tonal balance of your Satellites. Its major
effect is in the midrange, but it does shift the balance over the entire audible spectrum.
The NORMAL position gives the flattest anechoic frequency response, and works best in many rooms and
installations. Start with this position. If you find the sound quality to be too forward or too bright, try setting the switch
