Front Panel Controls (Continued)…
Bass and Treble Control Knobs
These offer precision adjustment of tonal balance. You will find that very slight adjustments
can add a degree of warmth, richness, clarity and “air.” However, greater adjustments may
obscure musical detail, and even risk overloading your speakers. The Bass and Treble
controls are only active when the blue light surrounding the Tone button is illuminated. The
Bass and Treble controls affect the Speaker Outputs, Pre Outputs and the Subwoofer Outputs.
Tone Button
By pressing this button, you can turn off the Bass and Treble tone controls, thereby completely
bypassing the tone control circuitry. This will improve sonic purity by eliminating the small
amount of noise and distortion inherent in tone control circuits. The tone controls can also be
turned on and off from the remote control. The remote control does not adjust bass and treble
tone controls. It can only engage and disengage them.
Input Select Knob
Rotating the Input selector will cycle through all of the inputs. The front panel LED under each
input name indicates when it is selected.
Sub Level Knob
The Sub Level control knob adjusts the subwoofer level. The sub level can be adjusted
between -10 dB and +10 dB, relative to the L and R channels. When the knob is in the 12
o’clock position the sub level boost is 0 dB. When you first set up your subwoofer you should
set this control to 12 o’clock (0 dB) and then play some music. Adjust the level control built
into your subwoofer until it sounds balanced. Now, whenever you want to fine tune your
subwoofer level you can simply use the front panel Sub Level control instead walking over to
your sub and bending over to adjust the level control on the subwoofer.
Note:
The Sub Level knob does not adjust the Sub level when the Bypass Input is selected.
Balance Knob
Adjusting left and right channel balance is helpful to compensate for speaker placement or
room acoustics.
Volume Knob
Your Halo Integrated uses a high quality potentiometer to adjust the master volume level. The
potentiometer is motorized for remote control use.
Mute Button
Pressing the Mute button once will mute the signal at all of the output jacks except the Record
Out. The Mute button glow will change from blue to red when mute is engaged. Press the
Mute button a second time to cancel mute. Mute is automatically canceled if you press the
volume up or down buttons on the remote.
Note:
Mute is not canceled when you turn the front panel Volume knob. It is
cancelled only from the remote control buttons or by pressing the Mute
button a second time.
