Configuring the DSW600
The DSW600 features three internal settings which allow it to be integrated with other loudspeakers within a system.
Not all these settings are relevant in every system; in some cases, none of them needs to be adjusted, in others one or
more of them will need to be set during installation. The configuration required depends on the role of the DSW600
within the system.
The three settings are explained here, with guidance specific to the various use-cases for the DSW600 following below.

Effect: Music mode extends the bass response of the DSW600 down to 24Hz and provides a superior transient
response, i.e. it sounds “faster”. Movie mode produces a higher level of bass output, but the response does not
extend quite so low. This tends to make for a more “impactful” sound, more appropriate for movie playback.

These Meridian controller products support the ability to adjust and select the subwoofer settings from within their own
configuration menus. During normal use of the system, the settings are transmitted via SpeakerLink to the DSW600 as
well as the Meridian loudspeakers being used for the main channels. By default*, this automatically activates the
appropriate high-pass filters in the main channels and the matching low-pass filter in the subwoofer(s). The
SpeakerLink system also sets the subwoofer(s) to Music or Movie mode and applies the correct volume level offset.
Refer to the User Guide for the relevant controller product for how to access and adjust the settings.
