6.4 _SETUP YOUR ROOM
In this chapter we assume that a specific set of speakers have already been defined and installed in a
room. In order to support multiple surround and 3D formats, we recommend relying on the expertise of
a Certified Trinnov Installer. They can design a speaker configuration that meets your requirements, and
can also recommend optimal speaker placements according to your room’s dimensions and acoustics.
For additional information about the Dolby, DTS and Auro-3D recommendations, please see the Appendix of this
document and the related documents from Dolby, DTS and Auro.
The overall procedure to configure a speaker system is as follows:
• Select an initial speaker layout from one of the available templates;
• If necessary, Add or Remove speakers until your specific layout is defined;
• Configure the settings of each speaker, the channel mapping to Dolby, DTS, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D
formats, and the output routing;
• Verify the routing of the speakers by playing pink noise on each speaker;
• If necessary, set some Parametric Equalizers (PEQ) s on some speakers;
• Set an array of speakers (please see next chapter)
• Save the preset.
Each of these steps is described in detail in the following pages.
6.4.1 _INTRODUCING THE SPEAKER/ROOM SETUP TOOL
The Altitude
16
provides a powerful tool to help you configure the speaker set of your home theatre system.
The Speaker/Room setup tool provides the following features:
• a 3D model of your room that you can rotate and zoom in/out;
• a display of the 3D speaker positions in the room;
• a comprehensive set of surround and 3D speaker layouts so you do not need to start your speaker configura-
tion from scratch;
• add or remove speakers (satellites and subwoofers);
• detailed configuration of each speaker, the channel mapping to Dolby, DTS, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D
formats, and the output routing;
• An easy way to set up speakers arrays;
a pink noise button to easily verify the routing of the speakers.
!
IMPORTANT NOTE: it is important to understand that, because the Altitude
16
’s automated process measures all the
speakers (including the subwoofers) during each measurement, you must create in the Altitude
16
’s user interface a speaker
configuration that includes all the speakers of your installation (including the subwoofers).
The Controls box located in the top right corner of the window allows you to navigate through the
3D view. You can rotate the view, zoom in and zoom out.
