Page 29: Adjusting The Output Signal Appropriately For Your Environment (Room Acoustic Control)
At the touch of a single button, this function performs the following operations: (1) Outputs a test signal from the M-10DX, and plays this signal through the connected monitors. (2) Detects the sound played by the monitors with the Room Acoustic Sensor, and analyzes its frequency response. - Page 30 Advanced use Using the MAIN MIX LEVEL knob and the volume controls of your amp or speakers, adjust the volume of the sound from the speakers so it’s at a suitable level. Adjust the volume as you would for normal playback when listening to the music. If the speaker volume is too high the test signal will be produced at a loud volume, and if the volume is too low the sensor will be unable to detect the test signal.
