Too much bass or too little treble from product | Acoustimass® 3 series V speaker system
If the sound lacks treble or has too much bass:
Try the following:
Be sure the system is set up properly and all connections are secure.
A connection may have come loose or may be connected incorrectly. For more info, see Setting up your product.
Adjust bass and treble controls on the connected audio device.
Many devices have sound options, like bass and treble controls or compression. Check the device menu for sound processing options and disable them. If the issue is resolved, re-add only the necessary sound options. For adjustable options, try small adjustments.
Be sure the receiver is set properly.
Many receivers have settings for speaker size, tone control, and activation of a subwoofer or low frequency effects (LFE). For more information on receiver settings, see Setting up your product.
Relocate the Acoustimass module to decrease bass.
Move the Acoustimass module away from a wall or corner to decrease bass response. Bass response changes with the location of the module.
Be sure the speakers are connected properly to the receiver.
Check the speaker wire connections so they are wired properly and firmly to the positive and negative terminals. There should be no exposed wires as this risks damaging the receiver or tripping its circuit protection mode. Also, be sure the proper set of speaker terminals are being used; many receivers have an "A Speaker" and "B Speaker" section. See the receiver's owners guide for more information.
Check if your speaker placement follows the recommendations for your system.
The placement of the speaker within the area affects how your hear sound from the speakers. For more info, see Speaker placement and positioning.
