Mirage Loudspeakers PS-8 - Manual (Page 10)

SET UP CALIBRATION
For best results when setting up your system, assume your normal listening position and
have another person perform the following adjustments:
1. Set the Subwoofer Level Control to its zero position. Set the Subwoofer LP
Filter Control to 50Hz. Set any loudness, bass/treble, and/or equalizer controls
on your preamplifier or integrated amp/receiver to their normal or mid-point
positions.
2. Play a familiar CD, record, or video soundtrack that has substantial bass content.
3. Gradually turn the Subwoofer Level Control clockwise until you achieve a
neutral balance between the subwoofer’s deep bass output and your main/satellite
speakers.
4. Slowly turn the Subwoofer LP Filter Control clockwise to reach the best mid
bass blend with your main/satellite speakers.This will be the point at which the bass
retains solid impact and fullness. If the mid bass becomes “boomy” or ill defined, you
have gone too far and you should turn the control counter-clockwise to the best
balance point. If the sound is too thin (i.e., male vocals are not full sounding) then
turn the control clockwise to the best balance point.
