7.14.4 Bass Management
The Bass Management Filter (subwoofer crossover frequency) is normally set globally in the group
settings. When the Bass Management setting is marked ‘global’, the Bass Management Filter
setting is applied to all monitors in the group.
In certain special cases you may want to turn off the bass management for certain monitors, for
example when you do not want to bass-manage rear monitors in a room having a subwoofer
located in the front of the room.
To turn off the bass management for a specific monitor
set ‘Bass management setting’ to ‘individual’
select the monitor by clicking on its icon
set ‘Bass management filter’ switch to ‘Full Band’
We recommend using the ‘global’ setting for all normal applications. In certain exceptional cases
there can be acoustical reasons for setting the Bass Management Filter to ‘individual’. This enables
you to set the Bass Management Filter individually for each monitor and subwoofer to a value that
differs from the rest of the system. Using the ‘individual’ setting is an expert feature as the Bass
Management Filter for all monitors and subwoofer no longer tracks the selection made globally.
7.14.5 Input Mode
A group is configured for analog or AES/EBU digital audio. Certain products only have analog or
AES/EBU digital inputs. You cannot include products in a group reproducing selected audio type
(analog or digital), if these specific products do not have the correct input type available. If a
selected audio signal type is not supported by a monitor or subwoofer, it will be automatically
marked as not belonging to the group (we call this Group OFF and indicate it with a yellow glow
around the product in the GLM window and a yellow LED color showing on the actual product
(Note: If using SE7261 and 8130 monitors (non-SAM monitors), 8130 monitors indicates valid
digital signal with yellow LED).

7.14.6 Monitor Settings

subwoofer icon. A settings panel opens, and you can:

include or exclude a monitor in the group using the ‘Group Status’ selection
