ADJUSTING THE SOUND OF THE SYSTEM
page 34
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 1 Turn the signal source volume control down all the way. 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 and that you are familiar with and will be most often used in the system.
Step 4 Turn the unit up to its highest undistorted output level. If you lack test equipment, this point occurs between 3/4 to full volume depend-
ing on the quality of your source unit. Listen for any audible distortion, if any distortion 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 corresponding to the midrange 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 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 crossover setting and output level between midrange and tweeters. Refer to the internal crossover 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 10.
Step 9 Set levels between the front and rear midrange and tweeters for optimum front/rear balance.
Step 10 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 11 Fine tune crossover setting and output level between satellite speakers and the woofers. Refer to the internal crossover section of this
manual for detailed instructions. If using an RGC-1, adjust the level to match the output of the woofer to match the sonic requirements
of the system.
Step 12 Enjoy your awesome ORION sound system.
