Changing the treble, bass, or phase
The DSP loudspeakers provide sophisticated treble and bass controls, to
allow you to adjust the broad balance of the system to correct for the
acoustics of your listening room, or for a misbalanced recording.
The controls are more subtle than conventional tone
controls, and take advantage of digital signal processing
techniques to provide a more natural adjustment of the
frequency response.
You can also change the absolute phase of the signal, to compensate for
signals which are out of phase, giving an unnatural-sounding bass.
To change the treble
• Press Function < or Function > until the display shows the current
treble.
For example:
Tre.+0.0
• Press Function A or Function V to change the treble.
The treble control tilts the frequency of the response over the entire
frequency range to make the sound brighter or dimmer. It can be adjusted
between ±10db in 0.5dB steps. Normally settings between +1.0 and -2.0 will
give the most natural results.
To change the bass
• Press Function < or Function > until the display shows the current
bass setting.
For example:
Bass+0.0
• Press Function A or Function V to change the bass.
The bass control allows you to adjust the bass response in the room by
±5dB in 0.5dB steps. Normally settings between +3.0 and -2.0 will give the
most natural results.
To change the absolute phase
• Press Function > or Function < until the display shows the current
phase.
For example:
Phase +
• Press Function A or Function V to change the phase.
If you have a
Meridian Surround Controller
these functions are performed
via the surround controller.
