Adjusting the Sound of the System

Step 1 Turn the signal source volume control all the way down. Set any tone controls to their flat or defeated positions. This includes the loudness control.

Step 2 Turn the level controls of the amplifier to their minimum positions.

Step 3 Choose music with high dynamic content that you like, with which you are familiar, and will be used most often in the system.

Step 4 Turn the source unit's volume control up to its highest undistorted output level. If you lack test equipment, this point occurs between 3/4 to full volume depending on the quality of your source unit. Listen for any audible distortion.
If any distortion is audible, reduce the volume of the source unit until you have an undistorted output. Leave the volume control at this position during your system tuning.

Step 5 While listening to your chosen dynamic music, turn up the level control corresponding to the midrange output until you hear slight distortion and turn the level control back slightly for an undistorted output. Depending on your system, the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels.

Step 6 Turn up the level control corresponding to the tweeter output until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output. Depending on your system the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels.

Step 7 Fine-tune the output level between midrange and tweeters.

Step 8 Repeat Steps 5-7 for the rear speakers. If you do not have rear speakers continue to Step 10.

Step 9 Set levels between the front and rear midrange and tweeters for optimum front/rear balance.

Step 10 Turn up the level control corresponding to the woofer output until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output.

Step 11 Fine-tune the output level between satellite speakers and the woofers. If using an RGC-1, adjust the level to the output of the woofer to match the sonic requirements of the system.

Step 12 Enjoy your awesome Orion sound system.

 

hey, ok i will do that, this info doesn't seem right to me. Shouldn't i set the gain for the subs with my eq set the way i like it also, not flat.

 

Cool, thanks. Supposed to be delivered today but i think i missed him, had to run out for a bit grrrr.

 

lol, that's what i was thinking about the eq being on when setting the gain and not flat like the manual says.
I got my Amp, wooooooooooo, this thing is a beauty, looks brand new, not a scratch on it. Thanks Viking, it wouldn't have been possible without you! lol. I'm going to make a board for it and install it nice, not going to rush this time.

 

Oh just frigin Great!!, i just realized there is no speaker and power plugs which were supposed to be included. Grrrrrr, i guess they are pretty important! I sent a message to the seller, let's see what happens.

 

LOL, Ok she says they are on the amp, can someone look at the pictures i posted and confirm this for me. Thanks
