Adjusting the Sound of the System
Once you have checked the system's operation, adjust the sound of the system . Adjusting the
sound of the system is accomplished by setting the level controls and adjusting the internal
crossovers .
Step
Turn the signal source volume control all the way down . Set any tone controls to
their flat or defeated positions . This includes the loudness control .
Step 2
Turn the level controls of the amplifier to their minimum positions .
Step 3
Choose music with high dynamic content that you like, with which you are famil-
iar, and will be used most often in the system .
Step 4
Turn the source unit's volume control up to its highest undistorted output level . If
you lack test equipment, this point occurs between 3/4 to full volume depending
on the quality of your source unit . Listen for any audible distortion . If any distor-
tion is audible, reduce the volume of the source unit until you have an undistorted
output . Leave the volume control at this position during your system tuning .
Step 5
While listening to your chosen dynamic music, turn up the level control corre-
sponding to the midrange output until you hear slight distortion and turn the
level control back slightly for an undistorted output . Depending on your system,
the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels .
Step 6
Turn up the level control corresponding to the tweeter output until you hear
slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output .
Depending on your system the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same
output channels .
Step 7
Fine-tune the output level between midrange and tweeters . Refer to the Internal
Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instructions .
Step 8
Repeat Steps 5-7 for the rear speakers . If you do not have rear speakers continue
to Step 0 .
Step 9
Set levels between the front and rear midrange and tweeters for optimum front/
rear balance .
Step 0 Turn up the level control corresponding to the woofer output until you hear slight
distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output .
Step Fine-tune the output level between satellite speakers and the woofers . Refer to
the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instruc-
tions . If using an RGC-2, adjust the level to the bass output of the woofer to match
the sonic requirements of the system .
Step 2 Enjoy your awesome Orion Cobalt sound system .
