Subwoofer and Master volume
The Harmony DSP 8x12 has two modes of volume control operation:
Master volume mode
In this mode, the wired remote and infrared remote control the master volume i.e. all output channels.
Master volume can be varied from -72 to 0 dB.
Subwoofer volume mode
In this mode, the wired remote and infrared remote control the volume of just a selected set of
channels. This is typically used to control subwoofer volume but can also be used in other ways
–
for
example, to control rear channel speaker level. Subwoofer volume can be varied from -72 to +12 dB.
To set which channels are controlled in subwoofer volume mode, see page 29.
The current values for master and subwoofer volume are displayed in the plugin while connected:
These can be edited directly by typing the desired value and pressing the Tab or Enter key. Note that Subwoofer
volume is
relative
to master volume
–
that is, when master volume is changed, the actual signal level from the
subwoofer changes by the same amount as the speakers.
When performing measurements or calibration, check first that Subwoofer volume is set to your
“normal” level. Typically, setting Subwoofer volume to 0 dB is a good choice
. Then you can increase
it by up to 12 dB.
