Speaker Setup￿

(Mac). Indicates number of installed speakers, their sizes, distances from the listener, crossover fre- quency, and more. Specifying more speakers than are connected may cause sound to be routed to non- existent speakers, resulting in audio information being unheard. The “Test” function en- sures correct speaker connec- tions and levels.

￿Output Mixer (PC). Faders adjust levels for each installed speaker with a high degree of control. “Solo” sends sound to selected speaker only, muting the others. This is useful to ensure that left and right are not reversed, for exam- ple.
