XTZ 99 W10.16 User Manual

Sound settings
Basic setting for a
neutral bass
representation
Since the sonic
characteristics depend on a wide
range of external factors, there is no "st
andard"
setting for a neutral presentation.
The external factors that have an impact on
the
sound include the room,
placement of the speaker,
output levels etc.
To simplify the i
nstallation, you may use this basic
setting which is for an average room of about 20m
2
:
• Phase set at 0
• The frequency set at mid position
• EQ off
• High Pass off
• One bass plug in the left reflex gate
Room Tuning -
Mechanical
adjustment of the
boundary frequency
By using the supplied bass plugs in the bass reflex
ports, you can alter the lower boundary frequency
of XTZ 99 W10.16.
This makes it possible to alter the sonic
characteristics of the woofer. The picture below
shows three basic settings.
On
e or two open reflex ports will increase the
efficiency so that the subwoofer can handle higher
sound pressure than with both ports closed.
1st mode - no plugs in the reflex gates
No plugs in the gates will provide a "quick" bass
character especially su
itable for larger rooms where
the lower frequencies often are amplified by the
room itself.
2nd mode -
2 bass plugs in the reflex gates
This will provide a neutral, even and controlled
bass setting (Closed box)
3rd mode -
1 plug in the left reflex gate
This will provide a neutral bass setting.
4th mode -
1 plug in the right reflex gate
This will provide a "deep" bass suitable for smaller
rooms.
Since the sonic characteristics depends on
the room and a wide range of external
factors, there exists no "st
andard" setting
for a neutral representation.
Room tuning will also have influence on
the efficiency you will have to adjust the
volume, frequency and High Pass in the
room tuning modes.
"Quick" bass explained:
By this we mean a bass with less deep bass
information. This might also be called
"hard", "attack", "tight", "punchy" etc.
This picture does not show actual measured curves. It is only intended to be used as an illustration of the different acoustic characteristics in the
lower frequencies.
