GAIN
“GAIN” allows you to configure the subwoofer output level, with two options.
REF: (default) The subwoofer level is fixed at 0 dB (reference level).
This setting is useful if you are controlling the subwoofer level using a receiver
or preamp/processor.
VAR: The subwoofer level is variable and may be increased (+15 dB) or decreased
(-50 dB) in 0.50 dB steps, using the UP and DOWN arrow keys.
POLAR
“POLAR” allows you to select between normal (0 deg) and reversed (180 deg)
signal polarity and primarily affects the small frequency range around the crossover
point between your subwoofer and satellite speakers. This feature produces an
instantaneous reversal of the signal’s amplitude peaks.
When placing your subwoofer(s) in the room, either setting may provide a
smoother transition between your subwoofer(s) and satellite speakers. Use source
material with good mid and upper bass content for evaluation.
0 deg: (default) Normal polarity (0 deg)
180 deg: Polarity reversed 180 degrees
DELAY
“DELAY” allows you to add time delay to either the “SUBWOOFER OUTPUTS”
or to the “HIGH PASS OUTPUTS” of the SA-600W. The maximum delay available
is 25 milliseconds (in 0.1 ms increments). “DELAY” mode options include:
HP Out: This control adds delay to the filtered satellite signal coming from
the SA-600W’s “HIGH PASS OUTPUTS” and can be very useful for helping
the subwoofer-to-satellite transition through the crossover region. Note: The
delay feature of the “HIGH PASS OUTPUTS” is available even if the onboard
crossover (XO) is not used (OFF).
Sub Out: This delay functions similar to a Phase control, adding delay to the
“SUBWOOFER OUTPUTS”.
Due to the built-in system equalization used to make the small-box subwoofer’s
acoustic response flat, the subwoofer output signal is naturally delayed - usually
on the order of 12 to 15 milliseconds. By delaying the satellite outputs by a similar
amount, you can achieve greater coherence, texture and punch through the crossover
region.
Optimum DELAY results can be achieved by first running the D.A.R.O. system
to flatten the subwoofer’s acoustic response in your room. Satellite delay has little
audible effect if the frequency response through the crossover region is uneven.
