Powering on and off

We recommend leaving the speakers on, unless they will not be used for an extended period of time.
Always make sure the loudspeaker is powered OFF before connecting or disconnecting cables.

EQ presets

SBS has three user defined EQ presets. For your convenience we have loaded example EQ configurations into preset 2 and 3. Click the select button on the back of each speaker to switch between presets. The green LED lights marked P1 / P2 / P3 will indicate the active setting. All presets can be customized further by the customer. See Equalizer for details on how to do this.

How the presets are configured from the factory

Preset 1: Reference

This is the SBS reference sound. It’s the recommended setting for most situations, including studio use. In this setting, the speaker is tuned to give the most natural and balanced in-room frequency response. The user definable EQ for this preset is blank from the factory.

Preset 2: Air

Preset 2 and 3 have the same base configuration as preset 1. In addition, the user definable EQ has been factory loaded with example configurations (this may be adjusted or changed by the customer). In preset 2, the user definable EQ has been loaded with a high-shelf with center frequency 2 kHz and gain 2 dB. This will give more treble and “air” in the sound, which may be suitable for long listening distances and/or well damped rooms.

Preset 3: Warm

In preset 3, the user definable EQ has been loaded with a high-shelf with center frequency 2 kHz and gain -3 dB. This will give a more relaxed sound, suitable for highly reflective rooms or nearfield listening.
