A few words ABOUT Design

Thank you for purchasing the Phoenix Gold Elite.65cs speaker system. It features a 25mm pure silk dome tweeter that resides in an anodized aluminum housing that has been CNC’d from a single block of raw aluminum. The 6.5” midrange also features a dual roll surround that eliminates unwanted resonances, acoustical artifacts and dampens mechanical vibrations. The tweeter and midrange has been specically engineered with complex FEA analysis that perfectly optimizes the motor structures. Engineering a great tweeter and midrange is not enough to guarantee excellent sound quality. The Elite passive crossovers are computer modeled and then real world (in car tested and further tweaked) to provide a seamless transition from the midrange to tweeter.

The overall result is ultra smooth, linear musical output with excellent spectral clarity without delivering overly bright or fatiguing high frequencies commonly found in most car audio component systems. The Elite speaker system provides breathtaking dynamic range and precision musical realism.

Tweeter Protection: Most component speakers oer

a simple one stage ” tweeter shut down” for protection. The Elite system provides two stages (polyswitch and lightbulb) that variably optimizes the signal to the tweeter when automatically activated. This protection system adapts to the dynamic signal level of the music, so it always provides just the “right” level of protection.

The Elite protection circuit is also constantly monitoring the signal without actually running the signal through these components until the protection circuit is engaged. Most other two stage or complex tweeter protection circuits require the signal to run through these components, this can degrade audio performance.

MIDBASS ENHANCEMENT

ON OFF

Midbass Enhancement EQ Switch

Tweeter Level Switch: Allows the tweeter’s output

level to be adjusted -2dB, 0dB and +2dB.

Midbass Enhancement EQ Switch: If set to “On” this will enhance midbass output and contour down the midrange output. This is the best setting for end users that listen to modern music styles and mostly MP3 material.

Set to “O” the system will have a truly at frequency response, perfect for the sound quality competitor or pure audiophile.

For most sound boards, we recommend to set the tweeter to 0dB or +2dB and Midbass Enhancement EQ to “On” for best performance. Results and ears may vary.
