STAGING
STAGING is used to artificially "change" the positioning of the speakers so that the
driver or passenger seat seems to be positioned directly between the left and right
speaker. This evens out the various distances between your location in the truck and
the locations of the right and left speakers.
Staging operates by delaying certain sound signals. When you set staging, audio
playback will be slightly delayed in certain speakers. This makes these speakers
seem to be farther away.
For example, you sit on the left-hand seat in the truck closer to the left speaker and
hear sounds from the left speaker slightly earlier than from the other speakers. This
means that you perceive the sound to come from the left, since you hear it first from
that direction. If the sound in the left speaker is delayed slightly, the sounds will reach
your ears at the same time from the left and right speakers and it will seem as though
you are sitting directly between the speakers.
You can set the delay for either the right or left speaker and thereby optimize the
audio experience for either the driver or the passenger. Staging is factory-set for left-
hand driven vehicles. If your vehicle is right-hand driven, we recommend this setting
be adjusted according to the instructions below.
Subwoofer and staging (accessories)
You can also "move" the subwoofer (perceived location of base frequencies)
forwards or backwards in the direction of travel according to the same principles.
