Merlin X-Array Install Manual

page 10

Both sub-channel outputs have been assigned to
the same output module in each of the two
QuickMAPs (module #4 for the two-way QuickMAP
and module #2 for the three-way). If subwoofers are
not used, these modules may be left out of the ISP-
100, and need not be ordered. Note that gaps will
exist in the module lineup if   the sub channels
module is not installed.

5. PROJECTS AND QUICKSETS

Individual ISP-100 projects for each of the X-Array
Install systems were created that utilize the two
previously mentioned QuickMAPs. Each of these
projects contain one or more QuickSETs which
define the individual parameters and settings of
each of the blocks in the QuickMAP. This section
shows each of these projects and the associated
QuickSET parameters for each of the X-Array Install
systems.

QuickSETs are included for each system for several
different modes and combinations including:

1. without subwoofer,
2. with Xi-1191 subwoofer in both normal and

step-down modes, and

3. conventional three-way and overlap three way

modes between woofer and midrange for the
15-inch woofer three-way projects (Xi-1153/64
and Xi-2153/64).

Future QuickSETs may contain overlap parameters
for the 18-inch woofer three-way projects and also
for overlapping the subwoofer with the two- and
three-way projects. Refer to a previous section for
more information on overlapping and its effects.

CAUTION: Although any or all of the parameter
settings of each block may be easily modified, we
highly suggest keeping the original factory supplied
settings intact so that the X-Array Install systems
perform at their best. This is particularly true for the
limiter/protection blocks (see additional cautions in
the previous section).

The name of each QuickSET contains a four-letter
code which indicates which of four alternate
configurations are included. Each letter of the code
can be either “Y” or “N”, for yes or no. These
alternate configurations include:

1.woofer-midrange overlap, which applies

only to the three-way systems (first letter),

2.subwoofer-woofer overlap (second letter),
3.subwoofer step-down status (third letter),

and

4.subwoofer in use (fourth letter). Note that if a

subwoofer is not being used, the woofer(s) of
the two or three-way system will be used down
to their natural limits, rather than being high-
passed at a higher frequency.

Although subwoofer-woofer overlap naming
capability is included, QuickSETs for this operation
are reserved for future release, and are not
included here.
