•   The 

Driver Alignment

 preset menu enables delay to be 

applied to individual amplifier outputs.

•   The 

Polarity

 preset menu enables the polarity of individual 

amplifier outputs to be reversed.

•    The 

Limiter

 preset menu enables signal limiting to be 

applied to individual amplifier outputs. Clip limiting, peak 
limiting and RMS limiting can be individually or collectively 
engaged. The Peak limiter can be set to either automatic 
or custom parameter values. The RMS limiter has default 
parameter values  that can be adjusted but has no automatic 

option. 

Note: In automatic mode, the peak limiter parameters adjust 
automatically in response to Crossover & Gain high-pass filter 
settings.

•   The 

Output Mode

 preset menu enables individual amplifier 

outputs to be switched off or configured for Lo-Z, Hi-Z or 
Lo-Z BTL modes. In Hi-Z modes, a high-pass filter can also 
be configured and applied to the output. The number of 
outputs available will depend on the amplifier model, input 
setup and zone setup. For example, a two output amplifier 
will have two outputs available if Lo-Z mode is selected but 
only one output available if Hi-Z mode is selected.

Note: In Lo-Z BTL (bridge-tied load) mode, two amplifier output 
channels are combined to create a single, double power output 
channel.     

Note: Use of a high-pass filter with Hi-Z mode loudspeakers is useful 
to avoid the possibility of distortion caused by low frequency line 
transformer saturation. Begin with the default filter setting of 70Hz. 
If low frequency distortion is still audible, increase the frequency 
setting one step at a time until the distortion is no longer audible.
