!
Note:
• The Altitude
16
supports any number of subwoofers as long as enough physical outputs and processing channels are
available, therefore allowing for a maximum flexibility in the speaker system design.
• Bass Management can be activated even if the system has not been calibrated. However, the automatic time-alignment of the
subwoofers is only performed after a calibration of the whole set of speakers
!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
• For optimal results, the bass management should be setup manually based on the acoustic measurements of the speaker
responses in the room.
• The Bass Management results do not impact the Optimizer graphs.
6.5.1 _OVERVIEW OF THE BASS MANAGEMENT SETUP PROCEDURE
The recommended bass management setup procedure is as follows:
• Analyze the acoustical graphs of the speaker measurements in order to understand the low frequency response
of each speaker in the room;
• Decide whether bass management is necessary or not;
• To decide to activate bass management:
• Identify the High Pass Frequency that seems appropriate for each channel;
• Configure the bass management options (Off, On, On + Lfe to lr (Legacy));
• Configure each channel to be bass-managed by one or more subwoofers.
• Configure each channel to be bass-managed by one or more bigger speakers.
• Last but not least: Save the preset.
