3.Set the Calibrate slider to 0, the center point. Disengage the loudness Bypass. The result is a moderate enhancement to the program material, with more accentuated bass frequencies (below 500Hz), and more brightness in the high frequencies that carry harmonic content (above 7kHz). Engage and disengage the Bypass switch in order to “A/B” the difference between loudness off and on, respectively.

4.To experiment with loudness compensation, move the loudness compensation slider to the left (less) or to the right (more).

5.Adjustments made to the loudness compensation slider carry through to all listening levels. Set the output volume fader in the DSP Configurator to a relatively loud listening level.

6.Engage and disengage the Bypass switch in order to compare the difference between loudness off and on. At a loud listening level, the difference should be minimal or barely perceivable.

Delay Block (DLY)

The delay processor block, when inserted, provides a means to delay the audio signal to compensate for loudspeaker placement in situations where speakers delivering the same signal are much farther away than

others. The delay processor block is identical to the delay processor available on the input and described in Delay (DLY) on page 48. Typically the near speakers would be delayed so that audio delivery time matches the speakers further away.

Filter Block (FILT)

The filter processor block, when first inserted, provides one of four filter selections: High Pass, Low Pass, Bass & Treble filters and Parametric EQ. Up to nine filters can be added to each filter block. The output filter block is identical to the input filter processor block except that up to nine filters total can be selected Filter (FILT) on page 29.

NOTE: Selecting the Bass & Treble Filter inserts two separate filters.

Dynamics Block (DYN)

A dynamics processor block, when inserted, provides one of four dynamics processors: AGC, Compressor, Limiter, and Noise Gate. The available processors are identical to the processors available on the input dynamics processor block and described in Dynamics (DYN) on page 43.
