Main to sub-woofer delays

Reference settings

The following table shows system delays to align various combinations of W8L Series main and sub-woofer system. These should be treated as important initial settings and will work without further adjustments where grilles are alignment. They are a good starting point for further time alignment.

The main W8L, W8LC and W8LM parameters will already exist in the standard presets but you will need to check the user adjustable HPF (High Pass Filter) and Delay (grilles aligned) are set according to the table.

Sub-woofers usually take their signal from a separate controller for W8L and W8LC systems because our standard band zoned presets use all six bands.

The WLX sub-woofers signal will be on controller output channel 1 for standard W8LM set-ups. The WLX signal will be on channel 6 where a separate sub-woofer mix is to be used using a W8LM + WLX configuration.
