Bass / Treble
(Tone settings)
These two menu points can be used to alter the high-frequency (treble) and
low-frequency (bass) settings when required.

The primary purpose of the settings in the Tone menu is to compensate for
inadequacies in the audio mix of the recording currently being played.
If you wish to alter the fundamental tone settings for your loudspeakers, you
should make adjustments in the
“Speaker size” menu item of the system
configuration menu.
Loudness Level

This menu point is used to adjust Loudness to suit the loudspeakers and the
listening room.

Dieser Menüpunkt erscheint nur bei eingeschalteter Loudnessfunktion.


The table below provides a starting point for setting the Loudness level
correctly. The Loudness level should be selected to suit the size of the listening
room and the efficiency of your loudspeakers. If the recommended setting is not
satisfactory, or you do not know the efficiency of the speakers, you can find the
appropriate value by carrying out listening tests. The setting is correct when the
sound image (bass and treble) is the same at low and high listening levels.

D/A mode A number of special settings are available for the R 1000 E`s D/A converter;
they are designed to fine-tune the characteristics of your amplifier to suit your
listening preferences.
The R 1000 E can exploit two different filter types offering different tonal
characters:

LINEAR is the standard setting, which has an extremely linear frequency
response.

The IMPULSE setting delivers an improved impuls response with a minimal
reduced linearity.
Output

With particular instruments or voices the human ear is certainly capable of
detecting whether absolute phase is correct or not. However, absolute phase is
not always correctly recorded.
In this menu item the phase of the signal can be changed from normal to
inverse phase and back.

The correction is carried out at the digital level, and has absolutely no adverse
effect on sound quality.
