Using Speaker Presets And Dirac Filters
Your processor includes two separate Speaker Presets which are independent and can be
configured differently.
For each Speaker Preset, you can configure the following:
•
The Name of the preset itself (the default names are Preset 1 and Preset 2).
•
Which speakers are active in thet Speaker Preset and their sizes.
(Speakers whose Size is set to None will NOT be active when that Speaker Preset is selected.)
•
The Distance settings for each speaker.
•
The Trim Levels for each set of speakers.
Note: Because the Size settings for each speaker include the option of None you can configure
the two Speaker Presets to recognize entirely different speaker layouts and configurations.
For example... You could configure Preset 1 with a full 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup, with a
subwoofer, for watching movies, and you could configure Preset 2 with only your Front
Speakers, configured as Large, for listening to stereo music. You could then associate Preset 1
with your Blu-Ray player and Preset 2 with your stereo CD player, or switch between them using
your remote control.
HERE ARE THE IMPORTANT DETAILS TO REMEMBER...
THE TWO SPEAKER PRESETS ARE ENTIRELY SEPARATE.
Each Speaker Preset has one Manual EQ slot and three Dirac Correction Filter slots.
You will configure which of these four slots is the default for each Speaker Preset.
You can then associate either Speaker Preset with a particular input or manually switch
between the two Speaker Presets using the Menu or the remote control.
When you select one of the Speaker Presets in the Setup Menu, and enable Dirac Live from THAT
Speaker Preset, Dirac Live will read the current system configuration from the configuration
you currently have set for THAT Speaker Preset, and it will use THAT configuration for taking
measurements, and for creating Correction Filters. Then, when you create a new set of
Correction Filters, you will have the opportunity to save your new Correction Filters ONLY to
THAT Speaker Preset.
In order to create Dirac Correction Filters in the other Speaker Preset you must exit your current
session, Disable Dirac Live on the processor, exit the current Speaker Preset, switch to the other
Speaker Preset, then re-Enable Dirac Live from the other Speaker Preset.
WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO USE A DIRAC FILTER SET IN ONE OF THE SPEAKER PRESETS IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT THAT THE CONFIGURATION YOU HAVE SET IN THE SPEAKER PRESET MATCH THE
CONFIGURATION THAT WAS USED TO CREATE THAT DIRAC CORRECTION FILTER SET.
Failure to do so may result in some speaker sets failing to play entirely or playing with incorrect
correction filters applied to them. You may change speakers from Small to Large, or from Large
to Small, but you should not add or remove speakers from the configuration.
Because of this we STRONGLY suggest that, when you name your Dirac Correction Filter sets,
you use a descriptive name that includes this information.
You might, for example, use names like: "FilterSet1-714" and "FilterSet2b-200".
