ROOM ENVIRONMENT CONTROLS
Tweeter Switch (RTSC/RTSFX)
If your listening room is very reflective, with smooth sheetrock walls, hardwood floors, and non-cushioned furniture,
the sound will be overly “bright” and unnatural. Engaging
the tweeter attenuation feature a Tweeter attenuation fea-
e. Selecting the “cut” setting compensates for the ef
tur
fect
of reflectivity in a hard room. Tweeter attenuation flattens
room response, without hindering higher frequency response,
for warmer, more realistic sound and more accurate imaging.
Wall Distance Switch (RTSFX)
In-wall and in-ceiling loudspeakers excel when placed mor
than 2'(60cm) fr
om side walls. If position limitations demand
e
that in-wall loudspeakers be installed closer than 2'(60cm)
om side walls, the pr
fr
oximity of the sur
face can r
esult in
a response “bump” between 50 and 200Hz. This can cause
in-wall speakers to sound “boomy.” The Wall Distance Switch
flattens response and tunes out “boominess” without sacrificing deep bass response, for more lifelike sound.
