DELAY SETTING

EVO Loudspeakers hooked up to 

AUX OUT 3A & 4B

outputs can be instructed to automatically set their correct
delay and level to perform optimally with EVO Loudspeak-
ers hooked up to 

MAIN OUT 1A & 2B

 outputs. A Haas

delay will also be added to the 

AUX OUT 

Loudspeakers to

make sure the 

MAIN OUT 

Loudspeakers are the acoustic

focus. Before starting, check that the 

LOCKED 

indicator is

off. If it is on, then use the rear panel switch (Feature 14,
page 6) to enable the 

DELAY SET 

button.

1. Position the Measurement Microphone in the optimum

position. This is located equidistant from each 

AUX

(delay) EVO Loudspeaker (in most cases on the central
axis of the listening area), approximately 10 feet away.

Pressing any button during the Delay Setting routine will
abort the process and settings will return to previous
values.

If an error is detected during the Delay Setting routine, this
will be shown on the 

SPEAKER STATUS 

indicators, and

an attempt will be made to restore any Delay settings to
their previous values.

Clear Delay Setting

Press the round 

DELAY SET 

button again and the Delay

Setting routine will run again. Previous Delay Settings  do
not have to be cleared first.

Press-and-hold this button and all previous Delay settings
will clear and the 

DELAY SET 

indicator will go out.

Locking the Settings

After each 

SETTING 

routine, the 

LOCKED 

indicator will

flash once to remind you that this setting can be locked.
Once the desired 

SETTINGS 

routines have been per-

formed and all are satisfactory, they can be “locked in” as
the default or 

NEUTRAL 

system settings.

1. On the rear panel, use a pin or matchstick to engage the

LOCKOUT SWITCH 

(Feature 14, page 6).

2. Once engaged, the 

LOCKED 

indicator will illuminate

continuously.

3. All 

SETTING 

buttons will now be disabled until the

Lockout Switch is disengaged.

up to the 

AUX OUT 

outputs emit a test signal.

3. When the correct delay and level for the 

AUX EVO

Loudspeaker/s have been set the 

DELAY SET

indicator illuminates.
