Lexicon MC-12 manual Room EQ, Adjusting Room Correction

Version 4 EQ User Guide Configuring the MC-12 for V4 EQ

Note:

Once automatic calibration has been performed, use the BASS PEAK LIMITERS menu to set amplitude limits for low-frequency signals sent to the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled Subwoofer L/R and LFE and redirected to other output connectors.

ROOM EQ ON, OFF

Activates and deactivates the room correction that was applied to the loudspeakers during the EQ DISTANCES LEVELS or ROOM EQ procedure. When set to ON, the MC-12 applies room correction to the loudspeakers based on the ROOM EQ LEVEL parameter setting. When set to OFF, the MC-12 does not apply room correction to the loudspeakers. This parameter has no affect until the EQ DISTANCES LEVELS or ROOM EQ procedure is performed.

ADJUSTING ROOM CORRECTION

Performing the EQ DISTANCES LEVELS or ROOM EQ procedure enables the AUDIO CONTROLS menu ROOM EQ and ROOM EQ LEVEL parameters, which can be used to activate and deactivate room correction and to control the amount of room correction applied to the loudspeakers.

Note:

Performing the EQ DISTANCES LEVELS or ROOM EQ procedure automatically sets the ROOM EQ parameter to ON and the ROOM EQ LEVEL parameter to MEDIUM (the recommended setting).

ROOM EQ LEVEL MAX, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW

Controls the amount of room correction applied to the loudspeakers when the ROOM EQ parameter is set to ON. This parameter has no effect when the ROOM EQ parameter is set to OFF.

The ROOM EQ LEVEL parameter can be adjusted in four increments, with MAX applying the greatest amount of room correction to the loudspeakers and LOW applying the least amount of room correction to the loudspeakers. Setting this parameter is a matter of personal taste, as the effect of each setting varies among input sources and listening rooms.
