Speaker Groups - Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 14-40 User Manual

Clip proctection: Each of the audio signal paths also has a peak limiter
protecting its outputs to ensure that the speaker signals are not clipped at high
listening levels. Disabling these peak limiters under Clip protection allow high-
level signal to pass unmodified to the DAC. However, if set to off, some output
signals are clipped and distortion heard, therefore, clip protection should be left
on.

Speaker groups

Speaker groups – introduction
In the Speaker groups menu, you can make different speaker groups for different
listening positions or loudspeaker combinations. This means that you can use your
speakers differently in different scenarios.
In scenario 1 in the illustration, the right speaker in the top may be set up as a right front
speaker when you watch television from the couch, whereas in scenario 2, the same
speaker may function as a right back speaker when you sit in the armchair listening to
music. The same speaker has different roles in the different speaker groups, and in some
speaker groups, the speaker may not be included.
For each group, you must assign roles to the speakers, set the distance between the
speakers and your listening position and calibrate the speaker level. It is possible to set
distances and speaker levels for each speaker group either manually via the Speaker
groups menu or automatically if you connect a calibration microphone.
In the Speaker groups menu, you can also see if a speaker group has been set for one or
more of the MyButtons.
You access a Speaker group setup menu from the Home menu if you press . Follow
on-screen instructions to create or edit a speaker group. For more advanced speaker
group settings, press  and select Settings, then Sound and set up speaker groups as
described in this chapter.
Create a speaker group
Create a speaker group – introduction
Select a speaker group to set up. You can name the speaker groups or delete groups you
do not want to keep. The Start-up speaker group has a predefined name and you can set
up the group for when you sit in front of the television.
You set distances and speaker levels for each speaker group either automatically if you
connect a calibration microphone or manually via the Speaker distance and Speaker
level menus. A calibration microphone must be purchased separately at your Bang &
Olufsen retailer. For more information, press the red button in the on-screen help and
find 'Assisted speaker calibration',
Some advanced Bang & Olufsen speakers support preset selection. The preset number is
found in the app for the speaker. You decide which preset should be activated when you
select a speaker group. This function may not be available in the current software
version.
To bring up settings for a speaker group, highlight the group and press .
To create a new speaker group, press the green button. The new group has settings
according to the currently playing speaker group. You can change these to your
'Speaker distance' and 'Speaker level'.
