2.3  Loudspeaker Controls 

The two knobs at the top of the 
plate on the back of the speaker 
tailor the mid- and high-frequency 
response of the G6.1e. They are 
subtle controls, but they can make 
a great difference in gaining that 
last bit of additional performance 
in tuning your speakers into the 
room that you are using them in. They can turn your system from very 
good to exceptional, so take the time to work through this process. 

The top left knob marked T

WEETER

 is a volume control for the front 

tweeter. Turning this control clockwise will increase the level of the 
tweeters. Use this control if you need a bit more treble, or to increase the 
apparent space of the soundstage. Too high a tweeter level, and you 
can feel that crashing cymbals are leaping out at you, and nylon stringed 
guitars sound steely. Start with this control at the 12 o'clock position. 
There is about a one dB range for this control. 

The top right knob marked M

IDRANGE 

is used to adjust the level of the 

midrange. Start at the 12 o’clock position. Turning the control anti-
clockwise will make the midrange sound leaner, and turning it clockwise 
will make the midrange sound fuller. A fuller midrange can also can 
make the soundstage more forward. There is about a one and a half dB 
range for this control.
