    HTP-1 Installation and User Guide Release 1.8.1 The speaker configuration is set by clicking on the toggle switches in the left-most column. Blue indicates that the speaker is enabled. When you have enabled a speaker, or set of speakers, they will appear in the illustration on the right hand side of the pane, which will help you place the speakers in the correct position in the room.

  • Page 34: Enabling Speakers

    Choosing a cutoff that is clearly in the linear region of the speaker ensures that the crossover operates as designed and is not affected by the natural filtering of the speaker. The HTP-1 uses a fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley crossover.

    The “5.1.2” Atmos configuration uses the top-middle pair. DTS-X streams are likely authored using four high speakers. The HTP-1 “remaps” any source arrangement to match the speaker setup you choose using algorithms provided by the decoder. This is why you should describe/configure your speaker setup as accurately as possible, though few people will be able to tell the difference if a pair of speakers labeled “top front”...

  • Page 45: Calibration

    HTP-1 Installation and User Guide Release 1.8.1 Calibration Calibration is a critical part of good sound. The HTP-1 collects calibration items on the calibration page. The calibration page contains a lot of information. This section describes each item to help you understand.

  • Page 46: Volume Range And Maximum Output Voltage

    A ​ M aximum Output Level​ (formerly amplifier sensitivity) control is provided on the ​ C ALIBRATION​ page so that the output voltage of the HTP-1 can be matched to the input sensitivity of your amplifier. The input sensitivity of an amplifier is defined as the voltage at which the amplifier is driven to clipping.

  • Page 47: Recommendations On Setting The Maximum Output Level

    If the input sensitivity of your amplifier is unknown, begin by setting maximum output level of the HTP-1 to 1 volt. Set the max listening volume to zero. Run the volume up and see if it gets as loud as you want it to be. If you think it should be louder, increase the maximum output level.

  • Page 48: Dirac Calibration

    The HTP-1 system makes it easy to do a Dirac® calibration, and you should do such a calibration. Setting up your speakers correctly is a key part of getting the best sound out of your system. Dirac also offers a more sophisticated bass management system referred to as Dirac Live Bass Control.

  • Page 49: Calibration Steps

    Dirac usage. 4) Open DiracLive and connect to the Monolith HTP-1. The displayed name is set on the ​ S YSTEM tab of the ​ S ystem Configuration​ screen. The Dirac Live tool uses common networking protocols to find the HTP-1.
  • Page 50 HTP-1 Installation and User Guide Release 1.8.1 7) Set the volumes for calibration. The volume control on the left side of the Dirac screen exactly matches that used by the remote control. You can adjust it with the remote control. The Dirac program sets the volume initially to -30dB.
  • Page 51 HTP-1 Installation and User Guide Release 1.8.1 9) Proceed to the ​ m easure ​ s creen and hear the sweeps. When a measurement is successfully completed you’ll see the frequency response displayed. While it’s OK to try things out with one sweep, a good calibration uses more measurements.
  • Page 52 HTP-1 Installation and User Guide Release 1.8.1 Here is an example showing the spread: 12) The “groups” at the right allow you to easily see one set of speakers. The illustration above shows the “spread” between various measurements. The dip at the crossover shows that more work is required to tune the crossover and the target curve.

The HTP-1 in the sample screen below is set up for a 5.1 configuration and a 5.1 calibration is chosen. If a calibration is for less speakers than the current configuration, the uncalibrated channels will then be passed without any filtering.

  • Page 54: Dirac Bypass

    Critically, the detailed room correction filter is applied. If a Dirac Live Bass Control filter is selected, the buttons in the GUI will show “Dirac On BC” and the HTP-1 bass manager is disabled so that Dirac can handle the bass management.

  • Page 55: Dirac Off

    Release 1.8.1 Dirac Off Dirac delay and trim values are ignored. User trims are used. The HTP-1 bass manager is engaged. The signal is presented without modification. The GUI says "Dirac Off". This three step cycle is known as the “Dirac bypass loop”. As the result of a Dirac calibration can have large negative trim values, the system may be much louder with Dirac off.

  • Page 56: Manual Calibration

    Dirac Live Bass Control HTP-1 software version 1.7 introduces support for Dirac Live Bass Control. The purchase of an HTP-1 conveys the basic license for Dirac Live, but this does not include the advanced aspects of Dirac Live Bass Control.
  • Page 57 The method by which Dirac filters are stored in the unit has evolved. Newly created filters will be stored in an updated format. Existing filters are still recognized. ​ I f you upgrade and create new calibration filters and then downgrade the HTP-1 software below the version 1.7, the new filters may be overwritten as unrecognizable.

  • Page 58: A Dlbc Tour

    Open the Dirac Live Tool. The most current version, today V3.04, is preferred. When you connect to the HTP-1 you should notice that the pass through audio stops immediately. The volume is set to 25% of the difference between your minimum volume and 0dB..
  • Page 59 HTP-1 Installation and User Guide Release 1.8.1 Finally you must transfer the new filter to a slot. Filters that use the Dirac bass manager are indicated on the calibration page with an asterisk*. The Dirac Live system handles speaker dependent delays up to 35ms. This translates to a maximum difference in the distance from the listener to each speaker of about 35 feet or 10.7 meters.

  • Page 60: Signal Generation Page

    The subwoofers are a special case. Their behavior is different depending on whether the HTP-1 bass manager or the Dirac bass manager is engaged. When the HTP-1 bass manager is engaged (and Dirac is not), the bass manager is turned off and each subwoofer receives an independent signal. You cannot generate independent subwoofer signals when the Dirac bass manager is engaged.

    Alternatively PEQ can be used as pre-compensation to make Dirac’s job a bit easier. This is an advanced technique often used in professional situations.

    The best dynamic range (SNR) will be achieved when the output is set to match the amplifier and the HTP-1 volume is at maximum for the amplifier. The HTP-1 uses a high quality analog volume control. It also reserves some of its digital dynamic range using a small amount of digital attenuation.
