Klipschguy Posted March 30, 2001 Share Posted March 30, 2001 The T2A transformer in my Type E Heresy I crossovers are responsible for attenuating the squawkers and the tweeters. After looking at a wiring diagram, I noticed the T2A has six taps which correspond to different levels of attenuation. Since I feel like my Heresy tweeters are too bright in my "live" room, I changed the #3 tap wire (which goes to the negative of the tweeter after going through a 2uF cap) to the #2 tap (which is also used by the negative side of the squawker). My understanding is each tap corresponds to a 3dB change - therefore my change should be 3dB. The 3dB attenuation in the tweeter circuit really made a big difference in the brightness of this speaker. The highs in my room are much more balanced and give my Heresys' mids and highs a sound amazingly similar to my Cornwalls in A/B comparisons. To me a HUGE improvement. Has anybody out there experimented with the different taps in the Heresys or other Klipsch speakers? Am I doing any harm by using this tap? I can't say enough good things about this simple modification. Klipschguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
