Bass Management - Extron electronics SSP 7.1 User Manual

NOTES:

Bass Management

Low frequency sound is usually better handled by the subwoofer. Bass management creates the
subwoofer channel by separating the low frequency information from the satellite speakers at a
user-defined crossover point. This is summed with the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) information
encoded in the source format. When no subwoofer is present, subwoofer content is sent to
speakers set to Large (excluding the center speaker).
Speaker Size Settings
This feature sets bass management on or off for a particular speaker, defining the frequency
range output by that speaker. These settings also enable or disable the subwoofer and set the
crossover frequency.

Bass management is on for that speaker. The output to each speaker (other than the subwoofer)
is limited to frequencies above the crossover frequency. By default, center and surround
speakers are set to
LS
Subwoofer Placement
To produce a good bass response from the subwoofer, it should be located at the front
•
of the room, somewhere between either corner and a point about one third of the way
along the front wall.
The output channel used for the Left Back speaker in 7.1 configurations is also used for
•
the Center Back speaker in 6.1 configurations.
Left and right front speakers and left and right surround speakers are set in pairs.
The center speaker is set as an individual speaker.
Back speaker(s) can be set as a single speaker or as a pair of speakers, depending on the
system configuration.
