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 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

NOTE

positioning and listener preference. You may want to try different positions of this switch before final installation is complete.
