Configuring the digital surround controller using a computer
If your loudspeaker layout contains no subwoofer the parameter
is named
Bass limit
, and it sets the peak-level limit of the bass
signal added to the main loudspeakers. For loudspeaker layouts
using Meridian DSP loudspeakers as the main left and right, or
centre speakers, the
Bass limit
value is fixed at -11dBFS and
you cannot adjust it.
To complete the speaker setup
You have now completed the first stage of setting up the 561,
and you should save the changes you have made by choosing
Save
from the
File
menu.
You can ignore the
Distances
,
Crossovers
,
Precision
, and
Phase/Gain
pages of settings for the moment; these will allow
you to check the values you have set up when you calibrate
the 561.
To specify the type of subwoofer
For each subwoofer in the system you can specify the
subwoofer filtering. The options are explained in the following
table:
Option
Description
Narrow
The digital surround controller provides
a low-pass cut off; the subwoofer’s
crossover should be bypassed. This is
the recommended option.
Wide
The subwoofer includes a crossover.
To set peak-level limiting
The
Max SPL
or
Bass limit
parameter allows you to set up
peak-level limiting for bass signals, and the setting applies to all
the discrete digital DSP presets.
If your loudspeaker layout includes one or more subwoofers the
parameter is named
Max SPL
, and it sets the peak-level limit for
the LFE channel.
