Subwoofers

If your layout includes side surround speakers an additional Sides option allows you to adjust the relative phase and delay. Side L presents the signal to the front left, rear left, and side left speakers and you adjust the phase of the side left speaker for reinforcement, as with Centre Phase. Side R repeats the test for the three right speakers.

Use > or < to switch between phase or delay.

Use A or V to change the phase.

Use ] or [ to switch between Side L and Side R.

You should not adjust the delays as these have already been specified when you time-aligned the layout.

In this calibration test the Low noise signal is used to allow you to calibrate the phase and delay of each subwoofer in turn relative to another reference speaker. The reference chosen depends on the layout.

Use > or < to switch between phase or delay.

When adjusting phase the display shows the absolute phase of the subwoofer.

For example:

Use A and V to change the phase.
