Customizing the Nº502 Mark Levinson
Whenever a speaker is added to the system, the Nº502 needs to be recali-
brated. So, if you started your setup with a 2-channel Speaker Setup, when
you added the surround speakers, you’d have to recalibrate the whole
system. However, when a speaker is deleted, you don’t need to recalibrate
the system because all of the calibration settings for the other speakers
remain the same.
Therefore, you could create up to 10 Speaker Setups while only
having to calibrate ONE of them.
For example, if your maximum speaker configuration is a 7.2-channel
system:
1. Create a Master Speaker Setup containing a 7.2-speaker system (Front
L/R, Center, Surround L/R, Surround Back L/R, and Subwoofer 1 L/R).
2. Calibrate the Master Speaker Setup.
3. Create copies of the Master Speaker Setup by using the Add New
option.
4. Modify the new Speaker Setups for different speaker configurations.
In this manner, you can make multiple speaker configurations – for
example, 2-channel, 5.1-channel, 2-channel plus subs, etc .– while
calibrating only the Master Speaker Setup, because in every other
configuration you are only deleting speakers.
The following section, “Speaker Setup”, provides descriptions of the
Speaker Setup options and instructions on how to perform the automatic
calibration process.
Speaker Setup
The Speaker Setup menu controls all speaker-related configurations,
including basic manual settings such as speaker distances and crossovers
as well as access to the automated calibration procedures for speaker
configuration and Room Correction.
The Speaker Setup menu:
• identifies the number of speakers in each Setup.
• selects the speaker crossover configuration.
• sets the crossover slopes.
• calibrates for speaker distances & output levels.
• calibrates the Room Correction.
The Speaker Setup enables the appropriate audio output connectors on
the rear panel. Whenever an audio output is enabled or disabled, both the
balanced and unbalanced output connectors are affected.
