9. How to calibrate the bit Ten D IN Level inputs.
This procedure is delicate and requires particular attention. Improper execution can invalidate the final acoustic
results.
The bit Ten D outputs must be disconnected from the amplifiers.

This means that the response curve is not flat and the difference between the highest and the lowest
level can reach 6 dB. By calibrating the device so that the LED never lights up, the bit Ten D sensitivity

How to select the speakers available in the system.
Speakers can be selected just by clicking on them.
If the left tweeter, left midrange or left woofer are selected, the software
provides the ability to automatically also activate the right tweeter, right
midrange or right woofer.
Once started, this choice sets the dedicated crossover type and frequencies
with default settings. If you do not use passive crossover filters, each
speaker corresponds to an output channel. The bit Ten D has 5 output
channels; not using passive crossover filters allows you to pilot 5 amplified
channels. Of course you can select more than 5 speakers, in which case the
system will help implement passive crossovers.
