And, as usual, he concentrated on making sure the four models were exact timbral matches, for mixing and matching in Home Theater applications. You will find further details under the individual model descriptions. So we compensate by providing a two-position equalization adjustment to tailor the balance of high and mid frequencies to your needs. It can be especially valuable for transitioning to a subwoofer or overcoming bassy sound from a location too near a room corner. The front position of the EQ switch makes it easy to use at any time after installation.
All models have matching woofers and tweeters to assure timbral balance in different configurations.
In-wall Home Theater requires direct radiation from surround speakers, rather than the dipole configuration that produces reflected sound from surrounds. With nothing to mask any timbral differences, it's very important to get timbral balance right. Which is why Paul Barton spent many hours at the NRC on the issue. You will appreciate the work. Common dimensions between models eases not only original installation but future additions and upgrades.
