2.4 Recall of the Loudspeaker Parameter Setup
The O 500 C is supplied with factory presets of
all loudspeaker-relevant parameters like speaker
equalization, limiter settings,... which are stored
in a Flash-ROM of the digital controller. Additio-
nal parameter presets can be ordered at extra
charge, or can be determined on the installation-
site of the monitors and copied into the Flash-
ROM (Room eqalization).
During the first installation of the monitor it has
to be checked, whether the right preset has been
activated. If not, the correct Loudspeaker Para-
meter Setup has to be looked up and recalled
into the system.
The O 500 C is operated by the IR-remote
controller RC 55.
The procedure is as follows:
-
Switch ON the monitor with the power switch
on the rear panel
-
Wait until the digital controller has booted and
the K + H Logo is illuminated
-
The menu „Input Gain“ appears in the display,
showing a default dB-value
-
By pressing the numeric key „8“ on the RC
55 the menu step
8 Speaker Select
will
become active, the display will now show
„
Monitor/Subwoofer
“.
