Delay
If you're installing loudspeakers in a large area, you may need to time-align some speakers using delay. This ensures that the
signal arrives to all parts of the room at the same time for even coverage.
MXN5-C delay range: 0-160 ms
Limiter
Use the limiter to prevent output signals from clipping or distorting. To use, enter a dBFSvalueforthethreshold.Withthelim-
iter enabled, the output signals will not exceed the threshold.

mum sound pressure level (SPL).
Signal Generator

passed when you use the signal generator. The signal generator is pre-EQ, so you can apply EQ to the signal.
Gain adjustment at 0dB is referenced to 76 dBSPL at 1 meter.
Pink noise
Equal energy per octave. Use to check levels and to verify coverage in multi-speaker installations.
White noise
Equal energy at each frequency. Use to check levels and to verify coverage in multi-speaker installations.
Sine wave
Plays a tone at the selected frequency. Use to check levels, assess comb filtering effects, and identify possible standing
waves.
Sweep
Plays a tone at every frequency that the loudspeaker can reproduce, starting from the lowest frequency and sweeping up
to the highest. Use to identify possible mounting deficiencies, such as rattling or buzzing.
Muting the Loudspeaker
The loudspeaker has multiple mute points for different scenarios:
Dante Input Mute: Mutes the selected Dante input channel.
Device Mute: Mutes the speaker output and the Dante output channel.
