SPEAKER SETUP
After connecting all ancillary sources and other combinations, the Speaker
Setup menu will guide you on how to manage and setup your speakers in
order to achieve optimum sound acoustics in your listening environment.
The following are the Speaker Setup Menu sections.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
• M15 HD is Audyssey Installer-Ready and thus has the capability to
deliver the highest quality sound possible with MultEQ Pro room
equalization. To get your M15 HD installed with MultEQ Pro application,
contact your NAD dealer or a registered Audyssey professional installer
for more details.
• The M15 HD is an AV Surround Sound Preamplifier and therefore has
no speakers. The mention of “Speaker(s)” in this manual refers to the
speakers of your external amplifier as interfaced with the M15 HD.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
Every surround-sound system requires “bass-management” to direct low-
frequency content from any or all channels to the speakers best able to
reproduce it. For this function to operate correctly, it is important that you
correctly identify your speakers’ capabilities. We use the terms “Small” and
“Large” (and “Off”) but note that physical size may be irrelevant.
•
A "Small" speaker is any model, regardless of physical size, that lacks
significant deep-bass response, that is, below about 200 Hz.
•
A "Large" speaker is any full-range model; that is, one with deep-bass
response
•
An "Off" speaker is one that is not present in your system. For example,
you might not have any surround-back speakers installed; in that case,
you would set the ‘Surround’ setup item to "Off".
Depending on the relationship between speakers, the possible selections for
each speaker are as follows:
Front L/R
Center
Surround L/R
Back
Subwoofer
1/2

The Speaker Configuration is “global”; that is, it remains in force with all inputs
and in all listening modes. However, speaker settings are part of the M15 HD’s
Preset system. Consequently, multiple speaker settings can be stored for easy
recall as different types of recordings or listening modes require.
