Nº502 Media Console Customizing the Nº502
To set all of the speakers to full range, select the Set All Full Range
parameter. This parameter sets the Front L/R, Center, Surround, and Back
speakers to Full Range. If this option is selected, the Nº502:
• Does NOT set the Subwoofer 1 or Subwoofer 2 outputs to Full Range.
• Does NOT route any low-frequency information, other than the LFE
channel information, to the subwoofer outputs.
Caution!
In extreme cases, center and surround speakers may be damaged if
sent lower frequency information than they are specified to handle.
Subwoofer LPF
Identifies the crossover point of the subwoofers. This setting affects both
Subwoofer 1 and Subwoofer 2.
The Subwoofer LPF parameter can be configured in two ways:
• Complementary – the Subwoofer LPF is automatically set to the
lowest crossover frequency of the active speakers, as determined by
the Frequency crossover settings. With this setting, the output of the
subwoofer(s) is designed to complement that of all other channels
perfectly to ensure that all of the source information is reproduced.
• Full Range – no crossovers are enabled. This setting is provided for
subwoofers with internal crossovers that cannot be bypassed.
Subwoofer Slope
Sets the slope of the subwoofer low-pass filter. The available options are
24dB per octave or 48dB per octave.
Speaker
Calibration
The Nº502 offers both automatic and manual calibration of speaker
distances and output levels for each Speaker Setup. Calibration helps to
ensure accurate output-signal arrival time and level at the primary
listening position. However, calibration is not a substitute for proper
speaker placement.
All calibration settings are saved with each individual Speaker Setup.
Automatic calibration requires the HSG microphone kit. To order a HSG
microphone kit, refer to Chapter 1: Getting Started for details.
The Automatic Calibration procedure optimizes the Nº502 audio outputs
and performs Room Correction. The procedure calibrates for:
• Room Correction
• Speaker Distances
•Speaker Levels
