More information
The resonators are activated by sound waves in the room and produce overtones – subtle overtones, which also define the sound colour. This colouring is often lost during the recording process, and when replaced always improves, and never worsens, the sound experience. Every listening room affects the music with its own specific audio characterics, and from this point of view it can be said that the resonators by Acoustic System simply modify the acoustic properties of the listening room. In a very sophisticated way, of course.
Also of importance is the well seasoned wood employed in the manufacture of the pedestals. As in the case of musical instruments it is the skilled combination of materials which leads to perfection, and depending on the type of resonator metal, a harder or softer variety of maple is used for the base.
The resonator elements are fixed to walls or furniture using a permanently elastic material, which allows residue-free removal from practically all surfaces.

Room tuning Resonators
How far you go and how much you spend is up to you.
The Beginning
Before starting with steps 1 to 6 you must first place a Basic Resonator on the wall behind, and exactly in the middle of the speakers at floor level.
The designer says this is a must have resonator and you can lift it centimeter by centimeter up to 15cm to tighten the bass.
Suitable models: Basic,
Effect: Tightens bass where there is too much boom, cleans mid-range.
Step 1
Position a resonator on the wall, or on an object exactly between the speakers approximately 30-60 cm above the tweeters. Align the tiny resonator horns to point symmetrically to the sides. No horn should point directly to the front.
Suitable models: Basic, Silver, Gold, Special Gold or Platinum (varying nature of sound improvement).
Effect: Improved room definition and positioning of voices and instruments, clearer sound.
The setup instructions are identical for two-channel, or multi-channel systems.

Next upgrade - Step 2
Position a second resonator much further above the first on the wall.
Suitable models: Basic, Silver, Gold, Special Gold or Platinum (varying nature of sound improvement). However – the best results are obtained when the second resonator is of a different type to the first. Typical choices: Silver, Platinum.
Effect: Higher, more open sound stage. Cleaner high frequencies. Clearer bass reproduction.
The setup instructions are identical for two-channel, or multi-channel systems

3rd step
Attach Silver resonators to the side walls near to the corners and at approximately the same height as the resonators from step 2.
Suitable models: Silver.
Effect: Widening of the virtual sound stage. More transparency at high frequencies.
The setup instructions are identical for two-channel, or multi-channel systems

4th step
Place Silver resonators on the side walls near the corners of the room about 15 - 40 cm above floor level.
Suitable models: Silver.
Effect: More precise bass response. More perceptible sound stage. The height of the virtual floor level is affected by the height of the resonators above the floor.
The setup instructions are identical for two-channel, or multi-channel systems.

5th step
Position two resonators on the side walls at about the same height as the front resonators, next to, or slightly in front of the listening position.
Suitable models: Basic, Silver, Gold, Special Gold or Platinum (varying nature of sound improvement).
Effect: Reduction of negative influences of side walls. Reduces audibility of own listening room character. More dynamics from the front. Adjusting the height of the resonators affects the height of the sound stage.
The setup instructions are identical for two-channel, or multi-channel systems.

6th Step
Place a ninth resonator on the back wall at about the same height as the side resonator.
Suitable models: Basic, Silver, Gold, Special Gold or Platinum ( varying nature of sound improvement). Typical choices: Gold, Silver.
Effect: Calmer sound response and less influence of the back wall. Total disappearance of the "window effect" in stereo reproduction.
The setup instructions are identical for two-channel, or multi-channel systems.
