Speaker setup

SIZE

Accesses the SPEAKER SIZE sub-menu.

For all loudspeakers in your system (except a subwoofer) you must inform the AKURATE KONTROL whether the loudspeakers are LARGE or SMALL. These terms refer to the frequency response of the loudspeakers, not to their physical size. LARGE refers to loudspeakers that respond to frequencies from the very low to the very high. SMALL refers to loudspeakers that do not respond to very low frequencies (typically, a loudspeaker that does not respond to frequencies below 80 Hz can be considered SMALL).

If you are unsure as to whether your loudspeakers respond to very low frequencies, consult the information supplied with the loudspeakers, the manufacturer’s published information or the retailer from whom they were purchased.

SMALL FREQUENCY

Select the operating frequency that your limited bass response (SMALL) loudspeakers operate above. Frequencies in the audio signal that are below the selected option will be routed to a subwoofer if present, or any full-range (LARGE) loudspeakers if not. (As the human ear cannot detect the position of the source of very low frequencies, it will not affect your enjoyment of your music or movies if some of your loudspeakers are set to SMALL.)

Options: 40 Hz, 60 Hz, 80 Hz, 100 Hz, 120 Hz

Default setting: 80 Hz

FRONT

For full-range front loudspeakers, set to LARGE.

For front loudspeakers with limited bass response, set to SMALL.

Default setting: LARGE
