Subwoofer Frequency Response
The low pass filter attenuates high frequencies
at 24dB per octave. The values given are for the
6dB point.
Subwoofer Output
Use of the subwoofer output is specified here. Selecting YES, then
pressing SELECT allows you to display and adjust the crossover
frequency for the subwoofer output. All summing and filtering is per-
formed in the digital domain. You can select three different crossover
points (40, 80 or 120Hz) for the subwoofer. Although you can bypass the
crossover (OFF) and run a full range output if your subwoofer has an
internal crossover, it is generally best to use the crossover in the
MC-1.
NO mutes the subwoofer output and disables the Subwoofer Level
parameter. For any 5.1 channel input, selecting NO routes the LFE
(.1 channel) to any front, side or rear speakers set to LARGE.

THX Configuration

Selecting THX CONFIG from the SPEAKER SETUP menu automati-
cally sets the speaker selections to the traditional configuration for THX
listening. This configuration automatically sets REARS to NONE and all
of the filters to 80Hz. These settings are not adjustable.

SURROUND EX Configuration

Selecting SURROUND EX from the SPEAKER SETUP menu (available
in software Version 4) automatically sets the speaker selections for a
THX SURROUND EX setup with two side and two rear speakers, and
with all filters set to 80Hz. These settings are not adjustable.
Setting Output Levels
When MC-1 input and output levels are set properly, the entire system
will be calibrated to play films at the level intended by the director.
Setting the output levels is easy with a Sound Pressure Level (SPL)
meter. Using the MC-1’s internally generated calibration signal, adjust
the level of each output to the same relative level (75dB "C" weighting).
