NOTE:
• The Altitude
16
supports any number of subwoofers as long as enough physical outputs and processing channels
are available, therefore allowing a maximum flexibility in the speaker system design.
• Bass Management can be activated even if the system has not been calibrated. Note that 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 characteristics of the speaker
as well as acoustic measurements of the speaker responses in the room.
• The Optimizer graphs show what each speaker is capable of doing, which can inform your bass management
decisions.
