6.2.4 Virtual Ear
This feature will customize the ear model so that it is tailored to a specific listener: it will
simulate the ear of the listener. Three generic Virtual Ears are provided: Standard, Adult,
and Child. SoundMAX gives the possibility of purchasing a Virtual Ear Upgrade to create
custom virtual ears.
6.2.5 Testing speaker setup
SoundMAX control panel provides a utility to test each speaker and channel individually.
This can be easily done by clicking on the Test button on the bottom right section of the
Listening Environment Tab. It is important to note that the speaker configuration that will
be tested is the one that was last applied, not necessarily the one that is currently
selected.
The test is performed when an Audio Test Path is selected and either Play Test Noise or
Play Test Music Loop is clicked. Once this happens, a black ball will follow the Audio
Test Path and each speaker close to the ball will emit either a noise or a music loop.
As mentioned before, the Audio Test Path selected will determine which path the small
black ball will take.
