GoldenEar SuperCinema 3D Array X and XL - Manual (Page 9)

Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Receiver or Amplifier
Normally we recommend that you set the “Bass” and “Treble” controls on flat (or off, or 0 dB). Same applies
for a graphic equalizer; we recommend that you leave it flat (or off). This will give you the most accurate and
natural sound. If you want more bass, raise your subwoofer’s “Level” control (or raise the subwoofer level on
you’re a/v receiver), keeping in mind that even a little turn of the knob can make a big difference in the sound.
The reason for this recommendation is that we have discovered what is often thought to be improper sounding
speakers is, in fact, a problem caused by the use of tone controls. When in doubt, leave them out (flat); this almost
always results in the best possible and most natural sounding system performance.
Complete Home Theater Systems
The SuperCinema 3D Array is designed to be used as part of a complete Home Theater System including
subwoofer and surround/rear/height — although the SuperCinema 3D Array can be used without separate
effects channel speakers quite effectively.
We strongly suggest that you use the GoldenEar ForceField subs, and matching SuperSat ® or Invisa ®
in-wall/in-ceiling speakers for surround/rear/height speakers to complete your GoldenEar home theater
system. Of particular note, the GoldenEar ForceField subs, SuperSat On-wall, and Invisa In-wall/In-ceiling
speakers, have been designed specifically to make a perfect match with the SuperCinema
3D Array front-stage speaker.
