The included 5-degree slant riser bases are designed to angle the speakers slightly upwards for improved sound dispersion when seated.

Acoustic Balance Control:

The KLH Model Five speakers feature a unique Three-Position Acoustic Balance Control located on the rear panel. This control allows you to tailor the loudspeaker's output to suit your room's acoustics and personal preference. The settings are typically labeled LO, MID, and HI, adjusting the mid-high frequency level.

• LO: Reduces mid-high frequencies, suitable for bright rooms or when a warmer sound is desired.
• MITJÀ: Neutral setting, suitable for most listening environments.
• Hola: Boosts mid-high frequencies, suitable for acoustically damped rooms or when more detail is desired.

Experiment with these settings to find the optimal balance for your listening space and musical taste.

Eliminació de la reixa:

The Model Five speakers come with low-profile, magnet-attached grilles. These grilles are designed to protect the drivers and can be easily removed for a different aesthetic or for critical listening, as some audiophiles prefer listening without grilles. To remove, gently pull the grille away from the speaker cabinet. To reattach, align the grille with the cabinet and allow the magnets to secure it in place.
