TM C M Y CM MY CY CMY K 9.0: EQUALISATION VNET“ loudspeakers are designed to need no equalisation or correction to overcome system limitations. As a result, they will only need equalisation to compensate for difficult acoustic environments. Over equalisation can reduce system headroom, and introduce phase distortion resulting in greater problems than cures. If equalisation is required then it should be applied gently and smoothly. VNET“ full range loudspeakers are point source, phase coherent de
