Using the loudspeaker as a centre channel
•
Set the channel selector switch to Left or Centre.
If the loudspeaker is below the display screen Centre Elevation
can be used to raise the sound image up to the screen.
•
Choose between Off (lowest), Minimum, Medium, or
Maximum (highest).
The ideal setting will depend on the layout of the loudspeaker
and screen.
As well as improving the sense of dialogue coming from centre
stage, Centre Elevation can enhance the integration of sounds
that pan from left and right in a multichannel system.
When set to Left or Centre, the loudspeaker needs to have
Centre mode activated in order to make Centre Elevation
available. This can be done using a Meridian System Remote as
described in Configuring the loudspeaker using the IR eye ,
page 14, or via RS232 as described in RS232 control and
configuration , page 15.
In Centre mode:
If the system features a suitably-equipped Meridian controller
product, Centre Elevation can be adjusted via the menu system
of the controller product. Check the user guide of the controller
product to see whether it supports the Centre Elevation menu
and how to adjust it.
Regardless of the other equipment in the system, Centre
Elevation can be adjusted via RS232. The setting will be retained
even if the loudspeaker is powered off, so the optimal setting
can be chosen at the time of installation as a one-off operation.
Centre Elevation is only appropriate for loudspeakers located
below the display screen, or the mid-height point of an
acoustically transparent screen. It may be of limited benefit if
the distance between the loudspeaker and the screen is small
relative to the distance between the screen and the listening
position.
