Changing the Batteries The remote is shipped with two AAA batteries. If the SP-1 Stereo Processor does not respond to remote control commands, it may be because the remote control batteries need to be replaced. To change the batteries, use a Phillips Head screwdriver (PH1) to remove the locking screw from the battery compartment.
Only use cables and connectors approved by Steinway Lyngdorf. The Standard Remote The SP-1 comes with a standard remote control, which can operate all daily functions using the following buttons: Toggles through RoomPerfect...
Installing the USB Streaming Audio Driver on a Computer To stream audio from a PC or Mac to the SP-1, you need to install the driver for the SP-1 on your computer. The driver can be found on the USB key from the accessory kit.

Speaker Routing on page 19. • Connect audio sources to the SP-1 Stereo Processor. • Connect power to the SP-1 Stereo Processor, the amplifiers, and all connected audio and video sources. The SP-1 Stereo Processor will automatically detect the voltage and does not have a mains voltage switch.

This is not volume-gain, it is volume-offset. For example, if an input is set to +12dB then the maximum volume for that input will be 87.9 on the SP-1 display. Going beyond 87.9 will increase the number on the display but not the volume.

Save the new software on a USB stick and position the USB stick in the appropriate connector on the back of the SP-1. Enter the menu and select YES for updating the software. Do not remove the USB stick before the SP-1 has powered off, as this will cause the software in the SP-1 to be corrupted.
WARNING: The microphone is a very sensitive and finely calibrated device which must be treated with utmost care. If the microphone has been dropped on the floor, it may be damaged. If this is the case, obtain a new microphone from your Steinway Lyngdorf representative before performing the system calibration.

Plug the supplied microphone cable into the microphone. Connect the microphone cable to the microphone terminal on the rear panel of your processor. Placing the Microphone in the Focus Position When you are prompted to place the microphone in the focus position, connect the microphone to the microphone input on the back panel and place the microphone, using the microphone stand, in your primary listening position.
Page 16
Measuring the Focus Position When the calibration volume has been set, RoomPerfect™ will send a range of tones to measure the focus position. If there is noise in the room, the measurement may take longer. This will not affect the quality of the end result.

Room Measurements Above 90% RoomKnowledge When RoomKnowledge has reached 90%, you can decide to add room measurements or do it at a later time. We recommend taking a couple of measurements within 50cm/.5ft of the walls and ceiling when above 90% RoomKnowledge. To fully optimize RoomPerfect™’s understanding of the room’s acoustical properties, we recommend you keep doing measurements until the RoomKnowledge is above 95%.

sound in the room. With high room correction index values, more extensive processing is employed. Add Focus Position/Add Room Position. You can add up to eight more Focus positions for the room, repeating the Focus 1 measurement procedure. You can also add room measurements to approach 100% RoomKnowledge.
Error - Microphone Not Found No microphone is connected to the SP-1 or the microphone cable is not working. Check that the microphone cable is connected to the microphone socket on the back panel. If the problem continues, test the microphone cable by connecting the microphone directly to the Microphone socket and select Retry.
Assign ID Codes to the Steinway Lyngdorf Amplifier(s) The DIP switchboard on the back of the amplifier must be encoded in order to make it possible for the SP-1 Stereo Processor to identify the speaker. Each unit must have a sequential ID in the network.
Voicing Curves The Voicing setting is an EQ filter that can be used to gently amplify or attenuate certain frequencies according to personal preferences and/or to compensate if a given recording sounds too “bright” or too “dark.” Action Action2 Further enhances the lower frequencies.

Command and Request Formatting All commands and requests start with the ‘!’ character. Commands end with a combination of the Carriage Return character (ascii 0x0D, referred to as <CR> in this document) and Line Feed (ascii 0x0A, <LF>). Often, a single <CR> is used, but because different systems handle these characters differently, it is also allowed to end with <LF>, <CR><LF>...
