T+A Elektroakustik K1 AV user manual Main Sat, Cent Sat, swcut Med, Explanation, Operation

Main Sat

Amplifier Setup Menu point Main loudspeakers (Main)

Explanation:

Setting the size and bass range of the main loudspeakers at front left and right.

Cent Sat

Amplifier Setup Menu point Centre loudspeaker

Explanation:

Setting the size and bass range of the Centre loudspeaker.

If no Centre speaker is connected, please select the setting ‘OFF’.

Operation:

OFF This setting must be selected if no Centre loudspeaker is connected, otherwise all centrally localised components of the sound event will be lost.

SAT Intended for very small speakers (satellites) with limited bass response.

The low-frequency bass signals (below 100 Hz) of the main channels are passed to the sub-woofer. A sub-woofer should always be present when SAT speakers are used, otherwise there will be inadequate bass response and the sound will be unbalanced.

MED Intended for medium-sized loudspeakers (compact speakers, bookshelf speakers)

The low-frequency bass signals below 60 Hz are passed to the sub-woofer. A sub- woofer is not absolutely essential when compact speakers are used, but it can provide useful support to the low bass response, and make a distinct improvement to the overall sound image.

FULL for larger speakers.

The entire frequency range is reproduced by the main channels without restriction. No sub-woofer is required for full-range loudspeakers, but under certain circumstances a large, powerful sub-woofer can still make a contribution, as it reduces the workload of the primary speakers where passages contain extremely low frequencies or very loud sound.

swcut Med

Amplifier Setup Menu point Sub-woofer cut-off frequency (SWCUT)

Explanation:

In this menu the sub-woofer cut-off frequency can be set to match the main loudspeakers in use.

For small SAT loudspeakers the setting ‘HIGH’ (corresponding to 100 Hz) should be selected.

With bookshelf loudspeakers the ‘MEDIUM’ setting (corresponding to 60 Hz) is generally most effective.

If a large sub-woofer is employed to support the deep bass with large main loudspeakers, we recommend the ‘LOW’ setting (corresponding to 40 Hz).

If no sub-woofer is present in the system, please select the setting ‘OFF’.
