Simaudio Preamplifier and D/A converter Compression, Status Display, DVD Audio Full Range

MOON Stargate Processor

System Setup (continued)

7. Compression

This feature allows you to compress the dynamic range of the sound, which may be useful for low volume listening late at night. When turned off, you get full dynamic range. When turned on, louder passages are softened and softer passages are increased to maximize intelligibility of speech. Use the “Select” button to toggle between on and off.

8. Status Display

Press the “Select” button to toggle between “Status Display” on and off. When turned on, an OSD appears for 2 seconds each time you press a button. This OSD appears only when using the ‘main out’ composite or S-Video outputs. The selected input, surround mode and volume level will be displayed.

9. DVD Audio Full Range

Using the “Select” button to toggle between “yes” and “no”, this setting applies ONLY to the 7.1 “analog pass-through” input. When “yes” is selected, all signals present at the input will be sent to the output, and be affected ONLY by the volume control. When “no” is selected, the filters are defined by the “Speaker Size” settings you chose in the step number 1; Channels set to “large” will receive a full bandwidth signal, while channels set to “small” will have limited low frequency response (80 Hz filter). The analog filters will remove the low bass frequencies from the signal and redirect it to the subwoofer.
