Getting

the

best

sound

*

After

you

have

listened

to

your

Lifestyle'

music

system,

you

may

wish

to

adjust

the

sound

to

your

taste.

There

are

two

ways

to

do

this:

use

the

room

compensation

controls

located

on

the

Acoustimass'

bass

module

(see

Figure

8)

or

change

the

position

of

the

system

components.

•

Room

compensation

controls

The

two

room

compensation

controls

on

the

bass

module

allow

you

to

adjust

the

treble

(high

frequencies)

and

bass

(low

frequencies).

Small

dots

near

each

control

knob

mark

the

normal

settings.

Rotate

the

controls

clockwise

to

increase,

and

counterclockwise

to

decrease,

the

amount

of

treble

or

bass.

Adjusting

the

combination

of

reflected

and

direct

sound

The

cube

speaker

arrays

are

adjustable.

Each

cube

swivels

to

provide

a

combination

of

reflected

and

direct

sound.

You

can

angle

one

cube

in

each

array

toward

a

wall

for

reflected

sound

and

leave

the

other

cube

facing

directly

into

the

room

for

direct

sound

(see

Figure

9).

Experiment

with

positioning

the

cube

speaker

arrays

to

find

the

sound

that

best

suits

you.

The

most

lifelike

sound

will

consist

of

a

balance

of

reflected

and

direct

sound.

For

very

small listening

areas,

you

may

want

to

face

both

cube

arrays

forward,

although

this

position

eliminates

the

benefits

of

combining

reflected

and

direct

sound.

For

video

applications,

angle

the

top

half

of

each

array

slightly

inward

to

improve

on-

screen

localization.

The

cube

arrays

are

magnetically

shielded

and

will

not

affect

TV

picture

quality.
