karlfer Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I've never knowingly used tweeters although I seem to remember a couple of cabs I have had, have had them. So, simple question from a thicko. My recently acquired Markbass 2 x 10's both have tweeters. Staring from the sort of 7 0'clock position on the tweeter dial, they are marked with a double zero, the left hand side signs going from 18 to 5. At the noon position they are marked -dB On the right hand side they are marked 3 at the sort of 1 0'clock position, down to 0 at the 5 o'clock position. Can somebody please advise me which position is off? Cheers in advance, Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hi Karl, furthest anti-clockwise (7 o`clock) is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 That would be the 00 bit then. I did last night's gig with them at noon position . Annoyingly rather liked the sound even though it was a crap gig. Will put them at 00 for tonight's gig, which thankfully I know will be a lot busier. Many thanks Lozz, hope you are ok Mr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkin Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I don't really follow your description, but I'd guess it's attenuation in dB's, from zero (full on) to infinity (the 'double zero' - fully off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Markbass tweeters are funny really, I don`t really notice them doing much (tho mine are the piezos) when playing soloed, but in the mix they just seem to define the edge of the sound, rather than adding any highs. Rather like lining in on a technical drawing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
