C. ADJUSTMENT OF THE DIRECT ENERGY CONTROL
The Direct Energy Control has been carefully designed to
provide the optimum performance of the Model 501 under a
wide range of listening conditions. This control affects the
spatial distribution of high freguency energy. At distances
close to the loudspeaker, the listener will notice significant
changes in high freguency energy. However, the effect be-
comes subtle with increasing distance from the speaker and
will be less noticeable in larger rooms, where the listener is
principally in the reverberant field.

Under most listening conditions, listeners will find that the
Direct Energy Control provides a significant aid in optimizing
the performance of the Model 501. Please note that the
numbers vvhich appear in Figure 5 are for reference only and
do not appear on your speaker system. They are there to help
you understand the positioning required for optimum per-
formance in your listening environment. In the diagram, the
left speaker control, vvhen starting from the top marking, is
rotated clockwise for increasingly high numbers.'The right
speaker is rotated counterclockwise for the same increase
in reference numbers.
