[. . . ] 3 and 4 ON) Bass Roll-off (Switch 2) Off Off Off In a corner or in a cabinet Off Off Figure 1. Suggested tone control settings for differing acoustic environments Integrated Construction As the amplifiers are built into the speaker enclosure, the only connections required are the mains supply and the line level input signal, making the HT205 very easy to set up and use. The integrated design allows the amplifiers and the drivers to be calibrated as a single unit in the factory. This eliminates the effects of component tolerances and ensures consistent quality. [. . . ] 2) and 'bass Crossover The amplifier unit contains an active crossover. This is the ideal method for dividing the input signal between the driver units, allowing the overall response of the system to be optimized to an extent impossible with a passive system. The active crossover controls ('treble tilt', 'bass tilt' and 'bass rolloff') allow the HT205 to be exactly matched to any application. Amplifiers The amplifier unit is built into the Figure 2: HT205 outer dimensions, with the reference axis between the bass and the treble drivers. Figure 3: Suggested speaker placement and alignment in a 5. 1-channel Surround system. tilt' (sw. "Treble tilt" attenuates the high frequency response above 15 kHz by two decibels. The "bass tilt" switches provide three alternative attenuation levels (-2, -4 or -6 dB) for low frequency response below 150 Hz. "Bass roll-off" switch changes the bass roll-off frequency from 65 Hz to 85 Hz (-6 dB). The factory setting is 'ALL OFF' to give a flat anechoic response. See Figure 1 for suggested tone control settings in differing acoustic environments. Always start adjustment by setting all switches to 'OFF' position. Then set the switch if needed to the 'ON' position to select the response curve needed. exactly similar frequency responses, which is true in free field conditions. In a room the frequency responses change because the sound reflects from the room's boundaries. We recommend that the speakers are positioned at the same height and also at the same distance from the front and side walls. Then the reflections, and therefore the changes to the frequency response, are as similar as possible. The DCW increases the directivity of the loudspeaker; more sound is directed on-axis and less to the sides. Aim the loudspeakers towards the center of the listening area to reduce the effect of the room on the sound. This is because more direct sound is heard and reflections from walls which degrade the sound are minimised. accommodate a standard microphone stand. There is a provision for Omnimount® size 50 bracket, which can be attached to two threaded holes at the back of the loudspeaker with two M6x10 mm screws. There are also three keyhole slots for hanging the speaker on the wall horizontally or vertically on a 4 mm screw with a suitable wide head. Enclosed is a bag containing four large, and four small friction pads. It is suggested that the larger pads are used on the base of the HT205, and if mounted horizontally, the smaller pads should be used on the side.
