Simaudio Preamplifier and D/A converter System Setup, MOON Stargate Processor, Speaker Size

MOON Stargate Processor

System Setup

The most effective way to setup the Stargate for the first time is to go through each step. It may seem time consuming, but you will be rewarded with very high quality audio reproduction and ease of use after you have completed the entire process. Normally, this is done only once; You won’t have to perform another “System Setup” unless you make a change to your system. Future changes to the “System Setup” will be much simpler since you may go directly into the section(s) you need to change.

Press the “Menu” button on the remote, the “On Screen Display” (OSD) will appear like figure 1 below. Using the numeric keypad on the remote control, press the button corresponding to what you want to setup. The OSD will jump to the related menu.

1. Speaker Size

Speaker size refers to your speaker’s actual frequency response. For each channel, choosing “large” means that the channel will be set to “full-range” by the processor; Choosing “small” means that the processor will filter out the low bass from this channel and redirect this part of signal to the subwoofer. For some channels, you may select “none” in the event that you don’t use a speaker for that channel. When “none” is chosen, this channel’s signal is redirected to another channel(s).

1.Front speakers - toggle to small or large

3.Surround speakers - toggle to small or large

4.Rear speakers - toggle to small, large, none
