Congratulations, your system has been optimized! Now it is a good time to put on some of your favorite
music and enjoy the improved sound.
Notice
: The automatic calibration process targets a balanced overall sound, with slightly elevated
response towards the low bass region. The response can be adjusted in multiple ways to suit your
personal taste.
FOR BEST RESULTS
: When calibrating a system with a subwoofer, set the built-in
lowpass filter of the subwoofer to bypass or to the highest available cutoff frequency.
With Anti-Mode the best place for a subwoofer is near a corner of the room.
PLEASE NOTE
: After Anti-Mode gets rid of room resonances, it may appear that the
result sounds good, but is lacking in bass. You may have grown used to the exaggerated
bass response caused by room resonances. Listening for a while will accustom you to the
new more balanced sound.
If you feel that you need to increase the overall bass level, you can adjust the subwoofer
output level or use tone controls.
3.Hints and Tidbits
This chapter fills this page with some more or less useful trivia about the product, most useful first.
✔
In the 0.0 uncalibrated mode, the subwoofer output will reproduce the low-passed version of the
stereo outputs. There is no cross-over in this mode.
✔
In the 2.1 mode, the cross-over frequency is 80Hz.
(Adjustment will be possible in a later version.)
✔
You can connect more than one subwoofer using daisy-chaining or a Y-splitter. The Anti-Mode
calibration is only concerned about the combined response of all of the speakers, subwoofers, and
the room. Use the same volume setting in each sub, you do not need to adjust them to appear
equally loud at the listening position. Only their combined response with the room matters.
✔
When there is no S/PDIF signal detected while the OPT or COX input is selected, the alternative
home screen shows three dots.
✔
You can select the ANA input while coaxial is connected and active without ill effects. If you have
the right analog input connected you can switch between right-channel-only analog mode and
coaxial two-channel mode. A more useful idea is to have an external RCA switchbox. (You can also
select the COX input while the stereo analog input is active without ill effects.)
✔
Infrasonic, Bass tone controls, and cross-overs are second-order filters, Treble tone controls are
first-order filters.
