Integrated Function Controller

STA-800D/1000D Equipped Subs

SVSound™

Integrated Function Controller

This SVS Subwoofer is equipped with an advanced digital amplifier, the SVS STA- 800D/STA-1000D Sledge™ DSP Amplifier. The STA-800D/STA-1000D Sledge™ amp is not only digital for amplification, but also for all amplifier control functions. Notice there is a single knob and a two line LCD display that allow you to set the various Functions and their parameters of the SVS Subwoofer. This knob and the LCD screen are referred to as the “Integrated Function Controller” or IFC for short.

The IFC replaces individual switches and knobs found on conventional subwoofer amplifiers. The straight- forward menu structure and intuitive dialog makes setting up and maintaining the SVS sub much easier than with past analog amps with a myriad of confusing and less accurate controls.

The IFC knob has three actions associated with it:

1.It can be turned both clockwise and counter-clockwise to either adjust a Function’s settings, or to advance to a sub-menu within a Function.

2.It can be pushed in once (single-click) to select a (sub) function or to move forward and back- ward within the IFC’s menu structure.

3.It can be pushed in twice in rapid succession (double-click) to quickly return to the top-level menu structure.

The two line LCD display has two context modes:

1.Top-level menu screens.

2.Function/Sub-function screens.

The top-level menu screens allow the selection of major control Functions within the STA-800D/STA-1000D. When power is first applied to the subwoofer, the STA-800D/STA-1000D will display a WELCOME menu showing the Model name of the subwoofer. If nothing is done for 30 seconds while in the WELCOME screen, the LCD backlight will automatically go off. While in the top-level menu context, if nothing is done for 10 seconds, the display will revert back to the WELCOME screen.

Use the Excel spreadsheet named Subwoofer Frequency Response link provided above, which will plot the frequency response of the subwoofer from 11.2 Hz to 100.8 Hz. Input your raw direct read values from your SPL meter into the green band of frequencies in the Raw SPL Data worksheet, and the Frequency Response worksheet will plot the FR of the subwooferAdjusting The PEQ Identify the largest/widest peak in the response and target it for reduction with the PEQ control. When making adjustments to the PEQ control, there is no need to re-plotthe entire FR for interim adjustments - simply re-plotthe affected section of the curve to verify your PEQ adjustments are having the desired effect. When you are done making adjustments, you can re-plotthe entire frequency response to obtain a final curve Setup & Use of PEQSVSound STA-800D/1000DEquipped SubsSet the Frequency control to the approximate center frequency of the largest peak. Set the Q control to 14.4 narrowest bandwidth, and set the Level control to -6dB. Play the test tones again and re-measureand re- plot the affected portion of the FR curve and visually evaluate your results. Simple trial/error will then allow you to adjust all three controls to shape the PEQ cut to achieve the desired effect Setup & Use of PEQRoom Compensation Advanced Features Room CompensationSVSound 6420 Belmont Avenue, Girard, Ohio Fax Terms & ConditionsSVSound STA-800D/1000DEquipped Subs
