POWER ON AND OFF
The Realiser will power on when the power cord is energised. This allows use with a switched AC
outlet and operation without a remote control (once the unit is fully configured).
The Realiser can be toggled between standby and on using the
POWER
button on the remote control.
When in standby mode, the
IR/USB
LED is illuminated dimly; power consumption is low but not
zero, to allow for remote-control power-on.
In both standby and off states, the Realiser uses a relay to connect inputs to outputs for a fully passive
bypass. (Note that this is different from the
BYPASS
function when the Realiser is on, in which case
circuitry is engaged and the maximum output is 6 dB lower.)
When the Realiser is switched on, all red LEDs are briefly illuminated and the screen initially says:
HW CHECK
SYSTEM BOOT
CONFIGURING
LOADING PRESETS
If this remains on screen with the
Phones Clip
and
Mic Clip
LEDs on, there has been a boot
error; turn power off and then on again.
After boot, the Realiser loads Preset 1 (see Presets below) and displays the Preset 1 ID information, for
example:
1 FACTORY DEF A
SMALL 7.1CH
A 20:54 01-APR-09
. . . . .
FACTORY DEFAULT EMULATION
The Realiser is intended for gathering and listening to personalised data, in order to emulate the unique
experience of the listener himself in a specific room. But there is also emulation data (a personalised
room impulse response, or PRIR) which is loaded at the factory. This allows for immediate listening
and verification of operation, and also provides an emulated environment for listeners who have no
speakers or do not wish to emulate the available room and equipment. This data is stored in PRIR
memory location 1 and is loaded into Preset 1, which is the preset automatically selected and ready to
play when the Realiser is powered on. (See below for information about memory and presets.) The
factory emulation is a system with 7.1 channels. The user is encouraged to gather personalised data
using his own ears, for superior spatial and tonal accuracy.
