OPTIMIZING THE SOUND
Toe-in: Optimizing the tweeter character
You have chosen to setup using the “Regular” or
the “Narrow Room” setup. By adjusting the toe-in
the tweeter level and character can be optimized.
In a “perfect” acoustic environment our speakers are
designed to be listened to app 20-25 degrees off axis,
which corresponds to a normal setup with the speakers
close to pointing straight. By using toe-in the tweeter
will point more towards the listening position thereby
increasing its level, as the highest level from the
tweeter is obtained directly on axis.
In the Regular Setup, with the tweeter axis pointing
close to straight, use toe-in to increase the tweeter
levels, and use toe-out to decrease the tweeter levels
In the Narrow Room Setup, The tweeter axis is
toed-in to meet in front of the listening position.
To increase the tweeter levels toe-out the speakers,
and to decrease the tweeter levels toe-in the speakers.
Please note that the increase/decrease in toe when using
this solution is more critical compared to using the
wRegular setup, only a few degrees change of Toe will
cause a great change in subjective tweeter level.
