What are the midrange and tweeter knobs for...with 0, -3, and -6 as options? Any recommendations on where to set these?

They determine the midrange output ( I think more or less bass) I played with mine and didn't really experience a difference. I have mine set in the middle.

The knobs just set the frequency of both, with -6 lessening the sound coming from either. Mid range speakers are used for more of the vocals you hear, while the tweeter gets the higher pitch of instruments or other sounds in the range. I would suggest adjusting them and then moving around a bit to see if you can tell a difference, even at different levels to see if you notice the changes in frequency from one speaker to the next.

There is a 3-position "Ringer" switch on the side of the device. The positions are High/Low/Off, so you basically have only two volume levels and "OFF." There is also a 2-position High/Low "Tone Control" switch which may help if you're seeking a volume somewhere mid-range.

the problem with these are they need at least 300 to 500 watts. other wise there going to distort and blow tweeters and mid like crazy. if you got the power you can break them easy. hope this has helped you.

On the base just above the speaker you press the button with the number 1 on it and it will bring up all the settings you are looking for. Then use the number 2 button and the arrow keys to make adjustments. Hope this helps.

On the side of the horn there is a +(on) and -(off). That would be the only way of adjusting, but from personal experience it didn't make it any quieter by putting it in the middle. Its basically on or off, and how hard you hit the button is the only possible way.

get a three way headphone split, or you could get a little weird and plug headphones into the fx send and mon send outputs and control the volume via the send knobs on each channel!

I don't know what he means by "It's way too mid range for me".... it's rollover is perfectly tuned to work with the woofer. In fact, it has a 3 db cut off switch that you can push to reduce output by 3 decibels. The tweeter being adjustable means it pivots or rotates on it's mount so you can aim it at your ears from wherever your application may have it aimed. The output of a woofer is omnidirectional, meaning you feel it, rather than hear it. The tweeter output is much more directional so if it's not aimed properly you don't hear it as well. Also the stereo imaging is greatly affected by the positioning of the tweeter, that's why high end stereo installations usually have the tweeter mounted up high by your ears. This one is able to me angled toward your ears by a few degrees and they work beautifully. Mine are mounted in the door panels in the rear seat and left straight ahead but angled slightly upward for the benefit of the rear seat passengers. The ones in the front doors are angled upward towards the windshield to bounce off the glass and enhance stereo imaging for the front seat passengers. Brilliant design, and they perform flawlessly... "in my opinion". Hope you enjoy yours!

Hi,well there close to 3.1/2 -4.1/2 close to that.but I will tell you this,I didn't hook mine up wright away.I was saving them for my camper.when I did finally hook them up they where blown speakers,After I looked at them closely they where used speakers.So I therw them away.I wrote to the company no reply,So be careful with your order.Just thought you should know. HAVE A GOOD ONE.MEL

do the 'mods', i.e., at least remove the tweeters from the faceplates and seal them to the faceplates/tweeters mating surfaces with plumbers putty, and super glue each woofer cones' shield can to the baskets.damping these with 4" of rockwool bats behind the drivers an two inches on the rest of the interior surfaces (save for the duct exhaust areas) will yield hifi speakers on the cheap ;)

Currently there is no mid-range adjustment capability (at least in the latest firmware version 3.0. The cool thing about the bass and treble controls is that they are hardware based, directly adjusting the amplitude of both frequency ranges on the Wolfson DAC itself - not a software-based eq. There is an older beta firmare (2.14 beta, I believe - very similar in design to the latest release 3.0, but implemented an extra software eq function that seemed to have a subtle effect on the sound

I haven't had these speakers long, but like them. I'm older and can't read the little switch. I've figured out which is off (obviously), what are the other 2 positions for? Also, noted in the blurb above that the bases are magnetic. Do I need to keep them away from my computer because of that? I've been plugging them into it to recharge. thanks for your help!

There is a bass adjust knob, I would assume you could adjust it accordingly to not disturb them

not sure if this will help, but I used these on my rear speakers. Wired tweeters and rear speakers on same rear signal sending wires. IT sounds fine. Mids and highs. Your probably better off using the crossovers that comes with them.

Thank You for the reply. yes I did mean DB the settings are 0 DB and -3Db I set it at -3db for now. I am till waiting for my sub to arrive. I got a Alpine SWR-T10 10" 1800W 4-Ohm Type-R Shallow-Mount Car Audio Subwoofer. I will take your advice thank You

The subwoofer goes on the floor, preferably on an isolator. The tweeter and midrange are on a stand/stalk about 6" high. These are near field speakers, totally exceptional ones, but only for near field. High frequencies are quite directional. One beauty of the Focal design is that they sit on the desktop and the tweeters are aimed at one's ears. If they are well below your ears, they cannot help but be aimed behind you, so you will miss the high frequencies. Missing the high frequencies means you could probably get by with much cheaper speakers of lower quality. As alternative, you could sit them on a sconce like horizontal shelf mounted on the wall.

These enclosures are for 6.5 inch circle speakers, not 6x9 (oval) or tweeters. The TW67 tweeters are 3", so no, they will not fit. It looks to me like those tweeters are a "special" size, so you may have to go custom, as in make your own. Also, I don't think that enclosures would improve the listening experience.

OK a couple of things, Is your SPL meter set at C weighting and slow for the slew rate withe range set at 70 or 80db? Also to accuratly calibrate your speakers you would use speaker test tone generator in the setup menu. To do this go to said speaker test tone section, SLOWLY turn the volume up to 0 will running your test tone. Once your volume is at 0 use the SPL meter to adjust the gain on each speaker till it is stable between 75-80. The max I run my system is -28 and to me that is loud so be ready it will be a very loud test tone at 80DB.
