Connections and Control Settings

Using an A/V processor 

and

the Depth’s low pass filters.

This setup is recommended if your Depth will be used in

both 2-channel mode and as a LFE (0.1) channel in a multi-

channel mode. By following this setup, you will allow your

processor to handle most of the bass management while run-

ning in multichannel mode, and relinquish control of the low

pass filter to the Depth when running in a 2-channel mode.

Signal Connection (see figure 6):

1 Connect the left and right outputs of your preamplifier to

the left and right inputs of the Depth using quality RCA

interconnects. If your preamplifier only has one set of

outputs you need to obtain Y adapters from your dealer.

2 Connect the LFE/0.1 output of the processor to the LFE

input of the subwoofer using quality RCA interconnects.

Recommended Control Settings (see figure 7):

1 Set the 25Hz Level control to 0.

2 Set your front speakers for wide, large or full mode in

your processor. Set the center and effects type speakers

in limited or narrow mode (see the warning on page 7).

3 Set the low-pass filter switch to to the closest option equal

to 70% of your loudspeakers lowest frequency response.

4 While playing music with bass content, turn the level

control up until the music has deep extended bass that

is not overwhelming.

5 Try the phase control in different settings until the best

blending is obtained. If you are augmenting MartinLogan

loudspeakers, we suggest you start with the phase set at

90° (0° if you are using Script loudspeakers).

6 If you have completed steps 1–5 and still have weak or

boomy bass, adjust the 25Hz knob to compensate for

these anomalies. Turn the 25Hz control up and down and

listen to the effects that it has on the music. Try to find a

position that sounds correct to you. Experiment by chang-

ing the level control while adjusting this knob. You should

be able to find a position that gives you deep extended

bass and good blending with your main speakers.

7 Use the bass management section of your processor’s

speaker level setup option to set the subwoofer level at

an appropriate level. Follow the instructions in your

processor manual to fine-tune the subwoofer level.

8 If your processor offers the option to setup crossovers for

a subwoofer, we recommend that you start with the fol-

lowing settings—Crossover: 70Hz, High-Pass: 12dB, and

Low-Pass: 24dB. The optimal setting for these options may

vary depend on your room and listening preferences.
