Range: -40dB to 0dB

Relative preset volume for the selected monitor.

Room Position:

Neutral

Wall

Corner

Console

C. Wall - Console Wall

C. Corn - Console Corner

Bass:

Range: -6dB to +6dB

Bass adjustment for the selected monitor

Parameters of AIR Base subwoofers

Pink Noise:

Range: On/Off

Calibrate:

Range: -18dB to +6dB

Level calibration of the selected monitor.

Rel. Lev. - (Relative Level):

Range: -40dB to 0dB

Preset volume for the selected monitor relative to the calibrated and global volume.

LFE Low Pass

Range: On/Off

Brickwall Limiter on the LFE channel attenuating frequencies above 120Hz.

LFE Gain Range: -6 to +8dB

With this parameter you can boost the acoustic gain of the LFE channel.

Polarity

Range: 0 or 180º

If the Subwoofer is correctly placed, setting the Phase Reverse parameter at 180º should result in a full Phase cancellation at the set Cross -over frequency. If this is not the case - the Delay parameter should be adjusted.

Phase:

Range: 0-180°

To time-compensate if the Sub is not placed according to the ITU 775 recommendations. There are individual Phase settings for each of the Bass Management Cross-over frequencies. Once set, these are stored as Global settings.

LFE channel - note

Please note that in general the LFE channel should be mixed with +10dB headroom.

If you are not able to boost your LFE monitor output from your console, +10dB gain can be added on your AIR-Base input. Most format encoders / decoders take the LFE boost into account, meaning that you should leave the AIR-Base LFE gain at 0dB when playing back a DTS or DOLBY encoded material on your AIR system. LFE gain is set at 0dB in all factory presets, so if you need to add gain on your AIR Base please adjust this parameter and store the new setting in a user preset location.

Presets In General

A preset consists of the following settings:

Preset Volume

Mute status

Bass Management

X-curve setting

LFE Low Pass

LFE Gain

Parametric EQ (can be adjusted the optional PC Installers Package only)

All other settings can be considered “global” and are not stored with presets.

With the optional AIR PC-IP installers software you can however create custom presets including global parameters.

Recall

Press ENTER and use ARROW keys to select presets

Press ENTER to recall/load the selected preset

If no user-preset are stored on locations 1 to 4, presets 16 to 19 are loaded instead.

Complete preset list is available in the appendix section.
