Changing the tilt, bass or phase

The DSP loudspeakers provide sophisticated tilt and bass controls, to allow you to adjust the broad balance of the system to correct for the acoustics of your listening room, or for a misbalanced recording.

The controls are more subtle than conventional tone controls, and take advantage of digital signal processing techniques to provide a more natural adjustment of the frequency response.

You can also change the absolute phase of the signal, to compensate for signals which are out of phase, giving an unnatural-sounding bass.

To change the tilt

• Press < or > until the display shows the current tilt.

For example:

Tilt+0.0

• Press A or V to change the tilt.

The tilt control tilts the frequency of the response over the entire frequency range to make the sound brighter or dimmer. It can be adjusted between ±10db in 0.5dB steps. Normally settings between +1.0 and -2.0 will give the most natural results.

To change the bass

• Press < or > until the display shows the current bass setting.

For example:

Bass+0.0

• Press A or V to change the bass.

The bass control allows you to adjust the bass response in the room by

±5dB in 0.5dB steps. Normally settings between +3.0 and -2.0 will give the most natural results.

To change the absolute phase

• Press > or < until the display shows the current phase.

For example:

Phase +

• Press A or V to change the phase.
