VERY IMPORTANT: SETTING CHANNEL BALANCE AND BASS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Dolby Digital and Dolby ProLogic systems and decoders have a critical channel balancing procedure for the left and right front speakers, center channel, rears and subwoofer (if it is hooked up through the LFE or Sub Out low level connection) which must be followed if the system is to perform properly. We have spoken with many system users with problems relating to the overall
sound of their system which could be clearly traced back to improper system balance.
Also note that Dolby Digital decoders have bass management systems (systems which direct the bass to the various channels) which vary from unit to unit. This bass management system must also be properly adjusted. If your StudioMonitor is hooked up with speaker level wires and you are using a separate a subwoofer, your receiver or decoder’s bass management system should be set for “Small” left and right main speakers and “Yes” subwoofer. If you have a PowerMonitor, C/L/R 2300, C/L/R 2500, or C/L/R 3000 center channel, you will usually set your decoder’s bass management center channel setting to “Large” (however, don’t be afraid to experiment). If not, set it to “Small.” If you are using rear surround speakers with very extended low frequency response set the rear channels of your decoder’s bass management system to “Large.” If not, set them to “Small.” If you are using StudioMonitors without a separate subwoofer, set bass manage- ment to “Large” left and right main speakers and “No” subwoofer. (Also, do not be afraid to experiment.) Remember, whatever sounds best to you is correct.
