that you know has good bass content, and turn the level control up until you just start to hear the

subwoofer working. Now, from your normal listening position, determine whether the subwoofer is

playing loudly enough and filling in the bass frequencies of the music evenly. If adjustment is

necessary, start by changing the setting of the rear mounted level control to compensate.

If the bass seems too heavy, move the subwoofer away from the wall/corner. If the bass seems too thin,

move the subwoofer closer to the wall/corner. Small differences in positioning can make big

differences in bass response. When you find a position that seems to work well, have someone switch

the phase switch between its two settings, while you're in the prime listening position. Pay particular

attention to both the deep bass and the transition from the subwoofer to the satellites.

Sometimes people prefer more bass impact for movies than sounds natural when reproducing music.

You may wish to determine both a video level and an audio level if you find yourself falling into this

camp. Remember however, the most common error people make when setting up their system is to

play the subwoofer (and surround speakers) too loudly. Of course, the Bass Police will not arrest you

for this act. But should you desire the most accurate overall reproduction, a well balanced sound from

bass to highest treble is the best way to get it.

Using the Crossover Control

When used with the complete T70 system, the T70 PBM crossover control should be set at two-thirds

of its range as stated above. The goal is to optimize the performance of the system by ensuring that the

subwoofer and satellites produce a cohesive and well integrated sound "picture." The low frequency

response of the T70 satellites has been optimized to work with approximately a 100Hz crossover point.

This provides maximum performance and the smoothest integration with the subwoofer.

Higher crossover frequencies pass more bass but can sound boomy and may be more easily localized to

the subwoofer. Higher crossover frequencies may be suitable, however, when using very small satellites

that have no real low frequency performance. Settings lower than 90Hz should be employed if you are

using full range speakers that have extended bass response. This way, the subwoofer will only

reproduce the very lowest bass frequencies that are in the range where the large main speakers begin to

roll off. It's generally undesirable to have the main speakers and the subwoofer overlap too much.

Larger speakers generally require a lower crossover frequency, smaller speakers generally a higher
