Concert XR series
Subwoofer(s)
The subwoofer is a large speaker that provides the bottom end “kick” in the
system. Depending on the size of your listening space, you may require more
than one subwoofer to get the bass volume levels that you desire. Outputs 13&
14, 15&16 (not available on the Concert XR-4) can be configured to drive Front
and Rear subs discretely. Make certain you remember to include the size of all
spaces that are open to the theater in determining how many subwoofers you
need.
Height Speakers
The Concert series allows up to six extra speakers to be used for
Dolby Atmos or DTS:X systems. One, two or three pairs of
speakers (known as Height 1, Height 2 and Middle Heights)
can be used to create a soundfield above the listening
position, allowing you to be surrounded in an amazing “dome
of sound.” Dedicated speakers for this application can be
mounted in the ceiling, or pointed at the ceiling to give a reflected
field. We recommend that you research information directly from Dolby
Laboratories, DTS & Auro Technologies about these wonderful systems. The
Concert XR series can power passive speakers for the Height 1 pair, if you
are not using the back surround amplifier channels. There are also
Height 1 and Height 2 line-level outputs for sending out to
external amplifiers to power your passive speakers.
If you are using just one pair of speakers, connect them as
Height 1, and locate them approximately half way between
the listening position and the display, either ceiling-installed,
or reflecting off the ceiling. If you are using Height 1 and Height 2
speakers, then the Height 1 pair would be located a little forward of the
display screen, and Height 2 pair would be just in front of your listening
position.
