INSTALLATION
Installing the Tweeter for the 65C
The separate tweeters included with the 65C have a variety of mounting applications. During installation, make sure the tweeter is positioned and aimed towards the listener's ears.
|
There is a switch inside the Carbon 65C crossover |
|
|
that can be used to adjust tweeter attenuation. 0dB is |
|
NOTE |
for a flat tweeter response curve relative to the |
|
woofer, while +3dB will boost the tweeter's frequency |
||
|
||
|
response by 3dB throughout it's frequency range. |
|
|
Placement of this switch will depend on tweeter |
|
|
positioning and listener preference. You may want to |
|
|
try different positions of this switch before final |
|
|
installation is complete. |
