7.5.2
STUDIO SETUP -> SPEAKER SETS
This tab defines the name, format and physical connections for each speaker set, plus the bass management options. Once
configured, each speaker set appears in the main
CONTROLLER
page and
SESSION ROUTING
matrix.
Note that speaker sets are divided into two categories, optimized and non-optimized. Optimized speaker sets appear first in the
DMCP interface STUDIO SETUP -> Speaker Sets page. Scroll down to view the non-optimized speaker sets.
Optimized Speaker Sets
Non-optimized Speaker Sets
Fully calibrated
(including acoustic correction)
Calibrated for time and level alignment only
(no acoustic correction)
Designed for primary loudspeakers
Designed for secondary “reference” loudspeakers
(e.g. Yamaha NS10s, Auratones, etc…)
Each loudspeaker uses an Optimizer
®
resource.
Therefore, the maximum number is limited by the Optimizer
®
:
D-Mon|4
= 4 channels;
D-Mon|6
= 6 channels; and so on.
No Optimizer
®
resources are required.
Therefore, the maximum number is limited only
by the physical outputs available.
7.5.2.1
INTERROGATING THE OPTIMIZED SPEAKER SETS
In the example above, two completely independent speaker sets have been defined:
•
Spk A
– is a 5.1 surround speaker set, connected to AES outputs 1 to 6.
•
Spk B
– is a stereo speaker set, connected to AES outputs 7 & 8.
In this studio,
Spk A
will feed the 5.1 main surround monitoring, while
Spk B
will feed a pair of alternate stereo speakers. By
choosing either
Spk A
or
Spk B
on the main CONTROLLER page, the user can switch between “Main” and “Alt” speakers.
Since each loudspeaker is fully optimized, it requires a dedicated Optimizer resource. So, in our
D-Mon|12
processor, we have
used eight resources for our 5.1 + stereo speakers and have four remaining. This is indicated in the text readout at the bottom of
the speaker sets:
Available speakers: 4/12
.
