Set tone control
Set tone control
activates or deactivates the integrated sound settings menu which enables
you to individually adjust the bass or treble level of a certain sound source or lets you choose
from a range of available loudness curves.
Set tone control
can be bypassed (
BYPASS)
or activated (
ACTIVE)
. In case the
set tone
control
option is activated,
TONE ON
is shown on the display (4), otherwise
LINEAR
. When
switched to
ACTIVE
the sound settings menu is ready to operate but will only be enabled if
one of the associated parameters such as
set bass
,
set treble
or
set loudness
is being altered.
In case all three parameters are in a neutral position (
BASS = 0
,
TREBLE= 0
,
COUNTOUR =
OFF
) the
set tone control
option remains ready for operation without processing the signal.
You can choose if you want to change bass and treble settings simultaneously for all inputs
(
GLOBAL
) or exclusively for the currently selected input (
INDIVIDUAL
). If you wish to set
individual settings, a prior parameterization of the respective sound sources is required first (see
3.4.3).
The loudness option depends on speakers and properties of the listening room and is
therefore always set to
GLOBAL
.
NOTE:
In case tone control is set to
BYPASS
the menu will skip the
set bass
,
set treble
and
set loudness
settings.
3.1.3.1
Set loudness
If you listen to music at low levels, you often recognize that bass and treble reproduction are
weak. This is because the human ear is not sensitive to bass and treble at low sound levels. To
compensate this, you can use the parametric loudness function which will increase bass and
treble levels as soon as the volume is decreased. When the volume is increased the frequency,
response will be more and more flat and remain linear at high volume levels. In order to obtain
best results, we recommend you proceed in the following way:
Set the amplifier to a moderate
volume level. Go to the menu
set loudness
and use the menu buttons
< VALUE >
to choose
from one of the available 9 loudness curves ("OFF", 1-9) which provides the best sound
impression and exit the menu with the button
EXIT.
NOTE
: The loudness function selects automatically the correct loudness curve depending on
the actual volume setting. That is why a different curve than the previously selecteded may be
shown in the loudness menu as soon as you alter the volume. This is not a malfunction.
3.1.3.2
Set treble
Set treble level between – 7 dB and + 7 dB. A global treble setting (see section above) is
indicated on the display with
GLOBAL
, otherwise
INDIVIDUAL
