The preceding figures show configurations for a stereo speaker set. When configuring the speaker set, select the speaker format from
the preset or custom format list. The 5.1 speaker set is the selected output speaker set in the following figure. The speaker output sets
can be configured freely in the monitor profile editor. An additional curve is shown in the graph reflecting the presence of the LFE chan-
nel.
When a speaker set format with one or more speaker SUB channels is selected like 5.1 with one LFE channel, it is also possible to apply
bass management functionality to the speaker set.
Bass Management for a speaker set is enabled by activating the
BMngt button as shown in the figure above. Once this is enabled the
curve for the selected speaker will reflect the high pass filter applied in the white resulting curve. When selecting the LFE/SUB channel
the response for the low pass filtered curve is shown. The low pass filter curve is also shown the in the non-SUB channels as an addi-
tional information.
Configuring Bass Management
The configuration of the Bass Management system is done in the Monitor Profile Configuration window. A Bass Management config-
uration can be made for all speaker output sets, where the speaker format comprises one or more LFE/SUB channels. In relation to the
format conventions a translation is made between what is the LFE channel in the signal source, and what are the subwoofer speakers in
the speaker setup, and in that relation the mapping between LFE, Bass managed speaker channels and subwoofer speakers is also made.
For example, the traditional subwoofer setup for a 5.1 speaker system has the subwoofer connected to the LFE source channel, but Bass
Management can be applied as well filtering the low frequency from the surround speakers to the subwoofer speaker. This is the Basic
Bass Management configuration also applied in Pro Mon.
