CALIBRATION

Accesses the SPEAKER CALIBRATION sub-menu.

SPEAKER CALIBRATION

You can use the speaker calibration feature to ensure that the volume level that reaches your seating position is the same for each loudspeaker (speaker calibration is not required for two- channel systems). Calibration can be done by ear or by using an SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter.

To perform speaker calibration:

Switch on your power amplifier(s) and subwoofer, if one is connected.

Select CALIBRATION LEVEL. Adjust the reference calibration level so that the signal you hear is at a comfortable listening level (or reaches a preset level on an SPL meter).

Select START. The signal will move round the loudspeakers in your system in a clockwise direction and will be indicated on the display.

When the signal reaches a loudspeaker which is louder or quieter than the other loudspeakers, use the / keys on the handset to trim the volume as required. A few seconds after the or key has been released the signal will continue its clockwise direction.

To stop loudspeaker calibration, press SETUP on the handset.

Range: -15 dB to 15 dB (in 0.5 steps)

Default setting: : 0 dB

Select SAVE to save your changes and return to the SPEAKER SETUP menu.

Select BACK to return to the SPEAKER SETUP menu without saving changes.

Source setup

Please complete the following setup procedure for each source component you are connecting to your AKURATE KONTROL.

Select the back panel input you have connected to your source component.

Options: SPDIF 1 to 3, TOS (TOSLINK) 1 to 3, ANALOG 1 to 6,

ANALOG GROUP, KNEKT

Notes:

By default, ANALOG 1 is assigned to an AKURATE CD player, and ANALOG 6 to a turntable.

The ANALOG GROUP uses the ANALOG 1, 2 and 3 inputs, therefore if a source is assigned to ANALOG GROUP you cannot also assign a source to ANALOG 1, 2 or 3. Conversely, if a source is assigned to ANALOG 1, 2 or 3, you cannot assign a source to ANALOG GROUP.

The KNEKT option will not be available unless the KNEKT item in General setup has been set to LOCAL ROOM (see KNEKT, page 12).

For back panel inputs that you do not wish to use, set Type to NONE (see next page). This will mean that when you are selecting a source, inputs set to NONE will not be seen.
