Too little bass or too much treble from product | Acoustimass® 600 home theater speaker system
If the sound lacks bass or has too much treble:
Try the following:
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.
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.
Determine if the room size is too large or the distance from the system is too far.
The volume from the system will seem lower in larger rooms than in smaller rooms. The level of sound will decrease when heard from greater distances. Try to place your system within 20 feet (6 meters) of the listening area.
If your receiver has speaker calibration or room tuning feature, try turning it off.
Some home theater receivers have a speaker calibration process that you might have run when first setting up the receiver. This process typically involves the receiver playing sounds through each speaker, one at a time. From the sounds, the receiver automatically adjusts the sound of your speakers. If this feature has been configured on your receiver, turn it off, then listen for differences in sound quality.
Try a different audio device.
Connect and play another audio device through your product. This can help determine if the issue is isolated to the first device.
Relocate the Acoustimass module to increase bass.
Move the Acoustimass module closer to a wall or corner to increase bass response. Bass response changes with the location of the module.
