: top middle plus
front high, rear top or
front top and rear high
Might be a good compromise with high fronts for Auro and
top rears for Dolby.
Note that only top speakers can be Dolby® Enabled.
The status display will differentiate between “top” and “high” by appending an “h” when the uppers are
high. The modifiers “/” and “\” are used to indicate the mixed configurations. “Top” is higher than “high”
so “/” implies top in the rear and high in front.
The setup allows many choices so you can configure the decoders to drive the speakers that you have.
But a few configurations are preferred:
- The HTP-1 supports up to 5 subwoofers depending on main and upper level channel allocation.
- 5.1.2 is a “minimum object audio” recommendation.
- 7.1.4 is a “normal object audio” configuration.
- Six upper speakers gives a clear advantage to match common source material exactly without
remapping.
Multiple Subwoofers and Dirac Live Bass Control
™
The HTP-1 can support up to 5 subwoofers. More than one subwoofer can minimize dead spots in the
low frequency material. The trim (gain) and delay can be independently adjusted for each subwoofer.
Dirac Research offers the sophisticated “Dirac Live Bass Control” system that will automate this process.
A basic Dirac calibration will set the gain and trim for each subwoofer independently but a calibration
without Dirac Live Bass Control will not optimally solve interactions among the subwoofers. Some users
rely on the “Multi Sub Optimizer” or “MSO”. Find it here:

. A subsequent section covers Dirac Live Bass Control in more detail.
Your speaker configuration needs to match the number of subwoofers you are using. If you have two
subwoofers, you must configure the system for two subwoofers and use the first two subwoofer outputs
as illustrated on the back panel diagram accessible from the speaker page. If you have three
subwoofers, use 1, 2 and 3. The system adjusts the gains of the subwoofers to account for how many
subs are in the system. Turning on a subwoofer in the speaker page and then not connecting it will
result in a “sub”-optimal experience. This is in fact true for any speaker.
Mapping Channels to Speakers
There can be cases in which the channels found in the program material do not exactly match the
speakers in the room. The various decoders apply “remap” algorithms to pan the source signal to the
best available set of speakers. This is best illustrated with a set of examples:
1) DTS-X
™
material is typically constructed with “high” channels, but a room may have only “top”
speakers. DTS applies a “remapping” feature in this case and the resulting signal is heard both
from the top speaker as well as from the matching main level speaker. The sound from the front
left high speaker is hence panned between the top left high and the top left speaker so that it
sounds like it is coming from the high speaker location between these two.
