mhbernheim Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hi Folks, I have a question... I have a 5.2.4 setup in my home theater.... I had these POS little satellite speakers (soundware boston acoustics itty bitty ones) pointed towards the listening position, they were quite small, I decided to upgrade and buy CDT-5800, specifically for atmos listening, on the speaker itself I see these tabs B - 3, T - 3, the manual on the speaker doesnt say much about this, what is this for? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yelp, nothing on B-3, T-3 specifically. If these are similar to my in-ceiling, they are bass and treble controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these are similar to my in-ceiling, they are bass and treble controls. They are bass and treble attenuator switches. From the manual: OPERATING CONTROLS Mid-Bass and Tweeter Attenuator Switch (3000 and 5000 Series) Some models feature a Tweeter switch (3000 series) or both a Mid-Bass and a Tweeter switch (5000 series) located on the front baffle. The switch allows a setting of either 0dB (normal) or –3dB in the respective frequency range. If installing in an acoustically bright room, such as a bathroom or kitchen, you may want to adjust the Tweeter level switch. If the speaker is located in a corner and produces too much bass, you may need to adjust the Mid-Bass level switch. The position of the switch should always be checked prior to attaching the grille. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Glad this topic came up. I have these speakers for surround and rear surround in the family room HT. And the right side shakes the heating duct grills on loud passages (cuz there close to the corner walls?) I think I'll investigate turning down the mid bass. Pretty sure I left them at zero when I did the install. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 In-ceiling or in-wall speakers don't get praise compared to the regular surround speakers. They can offer excellent flexibility, excellent sound, high aesthetic appeal and a great placement option, taking up less space and blending with the decor. I really like the in-ceiling and in-wall options for accessory surrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Definitely get the "in ceiling" are not as good sonically as regular surrounds. My decision to go with in ceiling was WAF driven. Wires hanging on walls is not going to fly in the family room. And because my walls are made of cement hiding wires in the walls is a BIG job. So into the attic I ventured.
