FINE TUNING Since Paradigm Persona speakers are designed to provide exceptional high-end performance in a variety of room settings, fine tuning is simply a matter of making slight adjustments to their placement in the room, if necessary. Start with just the front speakers and listen to familiar music in stereo. The soundstage will be both wide and deep, but this can be tuned to your Personal preference by adjusting the toe-in (the amount the speakers are turned toward the listening area). More toe-in will increase image depth and localization; less toe-in will increase image width. Adjust the toe-in in small increments, listening each time, until you achieve the soundstage balance you prefer. Toe-in is not applicable to the other speakers in your system since their position and sound distribution pattern is fixed. Fine tuning for the center channel is simply a matter of making level adjustments that may be required for any particular multichannel music or movie program. If required, adjust A/V Processor or A/V Receiver levels to ensure that there is always a cohesive overall soundstage. 19

FINE TUNING
Since Paradigm Persona
speakers are designed to provide exceptional high-end performance in a variety of
room settings, fine tuning is simply a matter of making slight adjustments to their placement in the room, if
necessary.
Start with just the front speakers and listen to familiar music in stereo. The soundstage will be both wide and
deep, but this can be tuned to your Personal preference by adjusting the toe-in (the amount the speakers
are turned toward the listening area). More toe-in will increase image depth and localization; less toe-in
will increase image width. Adjust the toe-in in small increments, listening each time, until you achieve the
soundstage balance you prefer.
Toe-in is not applicable to the other speakers in your system since their position and sound distribution
pattern is fixed.
Fine tuning for the center channel is simply a matter of making level adjustments that may be required for any
particular multichannel music or movie program. If required, adjust A/V Processor or A/V Receiver levels to
ensure that there is always a cohesive overall soundstage.
