9 : 10.3. Cross limit

In case of power limiting of only one channel (ref. 

Chapter 9 : 6.Amplifier settings: Clip limiter CH1/CH2

), the 

gain reduction on one channel is mirrored to the other 
channel in order to maintain consistent signal levels. This 
is useful in two ways speakers where the limitation of one 
channel alone leads to an unbalanced sound. This function 
can be turned on or off.

9 : 10.4. Sound speed (m/s)

This menu allow the user to set the sound velocity used 

for time to distance conversions throughout the local inter-
face. It can be set from 320 m/s to 360 m/s.

9 : 11.DSP Settings: Channel settings

All of the following settings are available for both channel 

1 and channel 2. In all the following menus and submenus, 
the channel number whose properties are being edited is 
shown in the top right hand corner of the menu. If a specific 
parameter affects both channels, the top right hand corner 
will report this as “1+2”.

9 : 11.1. EQs

This menu gives access to the parametric output equal-

izer interface. This menu lists the 16 parametric filters one 
by one. The current selected filter number is shown on the
