MEASURING SPEAKER DISTANCES

SETUP SPEAKERS SPEAKER DISTANCES

Selecting the SPEAKER SETUP menu SPEAKER DISTANCES option opens the SPEAKER DISTANCES menu shown above, which can be used to set the distance between the listening position and the speakers connected to the Main Zone audio output connectors. The SDP-5 features a speaker distance control that allows distances to be entered for each speaker. This helps ensure accurate signal arrival time at the listening position, but is not a substitute for proper speaker placement.

To determine the appropriate setting for each speaker, measure the distance between the listening position and the front baffle of the speaker. Then, set the corresponding SPEAKER DISTANCES menu parameter to the closest available setting.

Note:

When the system includes a calibrated JBL Digital Equalizer, speaker distance parameters should remain at their factory-default settings (0.0ft). The digital equalizer will perform arrival time correction.
