Using the DSP8000
loudspeakers
Changing the listening position
The balance control of the DSP8000 loudspeakers
uses digital signal processing to compensate for an
off-centre listening position by delaying and diminishing
the sound in one speaker, thus effectively shifting the
speaker’s image back.
The axis control allows you to adjust the optimum
listening height of the DSP8000 loudspeakers, like a
balance control operating in the vertical plane.
If you have a Meridian Surround Controller these
functions are performed via the surround controller.

The axis can be adjusted between and -, where
0 corresponds to the axis of the treble unit. Usually a
listener will be below that position, so we recommend
settings of -1 or -.
