SmartS
This display show the current
setting of the selected
parameter or which preset is
currently being used. These identification lights are
lighted if the parameter is the
one currently selected to be
displayed and adjusted. These lights show the current
setting of the Mode, Channels and
Type parameters which do not
have numerical settings.
The SmartSub Integrator is adjusted using the four
buttons at the right side of the front panel. All adjustments
are made by first selecting which of the 12 parameters is to
be adjusted and then by increasing or decreasing the setting
of that parameter. A parameter is selected by pressing the
Select Prev or Select Next button until the light for the desired
parameter is on. Once the desired parameter is selected, the
current setting will be shown in the numerical display and
pressing the
Increase or Decrease buttons will change the
setting. The parameters Mode, Channels and Type do not
have associated numerical settings and therefore when one of
these is selected the display will be blank. These parameters
instead each have two alternate options that can be selected
by the
Increase or Decrease buttons and the current setting is
indicated by which option is lighted.
Only the four performance settings (or three if Augment
mode is used) should be considered adjustments for taste and
requirements. The other parameters should be considered
setup adjustments that are not changed unless there are
changes to the main speakers or the system configuration.
Presets
There are six presets available, each of which stores the
setting of all 12 parameters. The presets can be stored or
recalled from the front panel.
To create a preset, first set all 12 parameters to the
settings you wish to be saved. Pressing the Store Preset button
will cause the display to flash “P1”. Use the Increase and
Decrease buttons to select which preset, from P1 to P6, in
which you wish to store the current settings and then press
the
Store Preset button again to complete the save. The
display will stop flashing.
Pressing the Recall Preset button will cause the display to
flash “P1”. Use the Increase and Decrease buttons to select
which preset, from P1 to P6, you wish to recall and then
press the
Recall Preset button again to complete the recall.
The display will stop flashing.
If you don’t press the store or recall
button the second time within 10
seconds, the store or recall will be
aborted and the display will revert to
what it was before the button was
pressed.
System Parameters
Mode [Augment or Crossover]
Augment mode should be used if the main speakers are
able to play loudly enough and the subwoofer is needed only
to extend the bass range. With this mode the signal to the
main speakers will not be altered by the Integrator.
Crossover mode should be used if the main speakers are
not able to play loudly enough or it is desired to limit their
bass extension. In this mode the subwoofer will reproduce
the bass that would normally go to the main speakers.
Channels [Mono or Stereo]
If only one subwoofer unit is used then Mono must be
selected. If more than one subwoofer is used then Stereo may
be selected (but does not have to be). Stereo allows the bass
range of the left and right channels to remain separate and
therefore can provide better left/right “imaging”.
Number of Subwoofers [1 to 16]
This must be set for the total number of subwoofers in
the system. If Stereo Channels is selected then only even
numbers are available. Stereo configurations must use the
same number of subwoofers in each channel.
Main amplifier gain [in dB, 20 to 40]
The setting is the amplification of the main amplifier in
dB (decibels). The number can probably be found from the
owner information or the manufacturer of the amplifier.
This does not need to be set if the only inputs used are
speaker level (when not using the LFE, Bal or Unbal inputs).
