Cabinetry
• Non-reflective, satin black lacquered, hand finished cabinets - Designed to enhance the home
theater experience by ‘disappearing’ in a darkened theater. In a fully lit room, they present an
elegant understated appearance.
• Highly braced and critically damped MDF construction - Highest quality MDF with 25mm front
and rear baffles for uncolored sound and low resonance.
• 6mm machined aluminum front baffle plates - Designed for reduced diffraction, enhanced
acoustical performance, and distinctive appearance.
• Magnetically mounted, acoustically transparent grills – Made of a durable, non-reflective
fabric, and held in place by powerful, felt capped magnets.
Custom Sound Tailoring Controls, ERT/ERM speakers
• Switchable tweeter level adjustment (ERT-8.3/ERM-6.3/ERM-6.2/ERM-1)
This switch provides a total range of 4dB of adjustment to the tweeter level with positions of 0dB, -
2dB, and +2dB. Begin in the 0dB (neutral) position. By switching to the +2db or -2db settings, you
can create a brighter or warmer sound to compensate for room acoustics or personal preference.
• ‘Extension’ adjustment (ERM-6.3 & ERT-8.3)
In addition to the tweeter level adjustment, ERT-8.3 and ERM-6.3 speakers have an ‘Extension’
control. On the ‘Low’ setting, a standard EQ curve is in effect with frequencies above 18kHz
beginning to gently roll-off. On the ‘High’ setting, the frequencies above 18kHz are extended
creating a brighter and ‘airy’ sound that may be used to counter room acoustics or personal
preference.
• Switchable midrange level adjustment (ERT-8.3/ERM-6.3)
This switch provides a total range of 4dB of midrange adjustment with positions of 0dB, -2dB, and
+2dB. Begin in the 0dB position. By switching to the +2db or -2db settings, you increase or
decrease the midrange response to the smaller woofers.
• Switchable boundary effect compensation (ERT-8.3/ERM-6.3/ERM-6.2, ERM-1)
This is used to reduce the upper bass range of the speaker. If it is mounted close to a wall, inside a
cabinet, or near a large piece of furniture or other ‘boundary’, the upper range of the bass (300-
500Hz) can become more prominent and create an unpleasant ‘booming’ sound. Flipping the
switch to the ‘On’ position compensates for this condition by reducing 400Hz by about 10dB.
Selectable Bi-pole /Di-pole Selection Controls, ERD-1 speakers
Use these switches in combination to select whether the speaker will function as a left channel
dipole, right channel dipole, or a bi-pole configuration in or out of polarity with either left or right
channel orientation. Detailed description of Bi-pole/Dipole controls: page 11
