Introduction to RoomPerfect, Focus Listening

Introduction to RoomPerfect™

Once the guided set-up has been successfully completed you have the option to listen to music through two listening settings; Focus 1 and Global room correction ﬁlters. The RoomPerfect™ ﬁlters are stored on the numerical buttons from 1 to 9 on the remote control. To change from one ﬁlter to the other you simply press the numerical button corresponding to the desired ﬁlter, or toggle between them by press- ing the Up/Down buttons on the remote or front panel.

Global is stored on numerical button 9 and the Focus 1 is stored on numerical button 1. Furthermore you can add 7 more Focus/listening position (8 in all). The additional focus/listening positions can be stored on numerical buttons from 2 to 8. To bypass the room correction ﬁlters, press numerical button 0.

Global Listening

The Global ﬁlter improves the sound quality across the whole room. When you are listening to music in a room but are not sat in any particular listening position, the global ﬁlter gives the best result.

Focus Listening

The Focus ﬁlter improves the sound quality at a listening position by exploiting the 3-dimensional acous- tic properties gained through the room measurements. This makes the Focus ﬁlter the best solution for optimal sound quality at a speciﬁc listening position.

Voicing

When using RoomPerfect™ you will experience a much more precise and detailed sound reproduction

– which could also be described as more analytical.

The Voicing setting is an EQ ﬁlter that can be used to gently amplify or attenuate certain frequencies ac- cording to your personal preferences and/or to compensate if a given recording sounds too ‘bright’ or too ‘dark’. The standard voicing settings, and their numerical value on the remote control, are:

•Neutral (0), Music 1 (1), Music 2 (2), Relaxed (3), Open (4), Open Air (5), Soft (6).

The frequency curves of the different voicing settings can be viewed in the appendix. Neutral is a bypass setting.

You can toggle between neutral and the available voicings by pressing the Left/Right buttons on the re- mote or front panel. The voicings can also be chosen directly on the remote by pressing the ‘Info’ button followed by 0-6.
