6.3.1 _INTRODUCING THE SPEAKER/ROOM SETUP TOOL
The Altitude
16
provides a powerful tool to help you configure the speaker set of your home
theater 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 configuration 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 setup speaker arrays;
A pink noise button to easily verify the routing of the speakers.
The Control 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: it is important to understand that,
because the Altitude
16
automated process measures
all the speakers (including the subwoofers) during
each measurement, you must create in the Altitude
16
user interface a speaker configuration that includes all
the speakers of your installation.

The Dimensions tab allows you set
your room dimensions and screen
size.
NOTE: The room visualization is simply a
representation showing the theoretical speaker
placement of the selected layout. It is not taken into
account for the acoustic optimization and does not
affect the sonic performance of the system. The
position of a speaker is not critical but its label will
determine which decoded channel it will reproduce
(including the subwoofers).
The Speaker Configuration page can also be accessed through the Top Menu of the Altitude
16
graphic user interface.
