OPERATION
USING THE M17 – SETUP MENU
SPEAKER DISTANCE
Your system's speaker distance settings are a subtle but important
refinement of your setup. Informing the M17 of the loudspeaker-to- listener
dimensions of each speaker automatically imposes the correct delays,
optimizing imaging, intelligibility and surround-sound ambience. Enter
your dimensions with precision within about 1 foot (0.3m).
SETTING SPEAKER DISTANCE
While at "Speaker Distance" menu, use the [D/F] keys to individually set
the distance measured from your principal listening position to the front
surface of the corresponding loudspeaker. Distance can be set up to 30
feet or 9.1 meters. Distance can be displayed as feet or meters selectable at
the "Unit of Measure" item.
If Dirac Live calibration is completed and selected, the Dirac Speakers
Distance settings will be shown.
DIRAC LIVE
The proprietary Dirac Live is integrated with your M17. Dirac Live® is a
patented room correction technology that not only corrects the frequency
response, but also the impulse response of a room's loudspeakers. Dirac
Live provides true impulse response correction over a large listening area,
improving the depth, positioning and distinction of individual voices and
instruments. Using multiple measurement and mixed phase correction,
Dirac Live helps create a natural, realistic and transparent sound with
tighter bass and reduced room modes, in a way previously not possible.
Initiate Dirac Live by following below Setup Requirements.
M17
•
Update your M17 to the latest firmware.
•
Speaker Configuration must match actual speaker setup – turn off
speakers that are not available.
•
Both your computer and M17 must be connected to the same network.
18
MICROPHONE
•
The supplied measurement microphone can be connected to either
the MIC or USB input of your computer or the USB input of the M17.
•
If the measurement microphone will be connected to the USB input of
your computer or the M17, ensure that the measurement microphone,
phone jack adapter and USB Mic adapter are all connected together.
The USB Mic adapter is not necessary if the measurement microphone
will be connected to the MIC input of your computer,
•
Minimize external noise such as talking, opening/closing of doors or
windows and playback of sound during the measurement.
•
Use a microphone stand to firmly place the microphone in the
indicated measurement positions.
COMPUTER (WINDOWS, macOS)
•
Both your computer and M17 must be connected to the same network.
•
Any active firewalls should allow HTTP (normal WWW access).
•
Turn off any computer programs that may make any noise.
•
Download the Dirac Live Calibration Tool™ installer.
ON
Run the Dirac Live Calibration Tool™. Follow on-screen instructions. Refer
also to the HELP window for more detailed instructions.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME
M M U U T T E E
SOURCE
In addition to the Volume knob, use the HTRM 2's VOL [5/6] to adjust the
"master volume" of the M17 raising or lowering the channels altogether. A
momentary keypress will change the master volume by 0.5dB increments.
If you hold down VOL [5/6], the master-volume change will "run-on" until
the key is released.
Since recordings vary considerably in overall average level, there is no
imperative to listen at any particular master-volume setting. A setting
of -20dB may sound "as loud" from one CD or DVD as -10dB does from
another.
The M17 will power-up from Standby mode at whatever master volume
setting was last used; however, if the prior setting was greater than -20dB,
IN
the M17 will power up at -20dB. This prevents inadvertently beginning a

MUTING THE SOUND
Use the HTRM 2's [MUTE] key to silence all channels completely. Muting is
always available regardless of the source or listening mode selections.

Adjusting the volume level via the HTRM 2 or the front panel volume
knob will automatically release the mute function.
