Owners Record Thank you for selecting the Legacy Wavelet II. The serial number is located on the rear of the unit. Record this number in the space provided below. Refer to this when calling your dealer regarding this product. Register your product at www.legacyaudio.com/register...
Page 4: Quick Setup
Quick Setup Wavelet features can be remote controlled via smart device, smart phone or other mobile device. In order to perform room correction, please connect the unit to the internet. We love controlling the system with an iPad Mini sized screen. What happens if my internet goes out? Don’t worry- the Wavelet remote functions continue to work and room correction settings are maintained, even without an internet connection.
Page 5: Wireless Setup
Wireless Setup *Note- if you’ve completed the wired ethernet connection in the Quick Setup above, you can disregard this wireless setup section. First, let’s teach your Wavelet what your SSID and Password are, so Wavelet can connect to your internet. a.
Page 6: Connections
Connections The Wavelet comes pre-programmed from the Legacy factory with algorithms for your selected speaker. If you are using the Wavelet with a Legacy speaker, please consult the respective manual for specific connection information & diagrams. A connections assignment printout is also included in the Wavelet box to assist you in getting started.
Page 7: Specifications
Specifications Inputs • Analog o Two pairs of Stereo balanced inputs on XLR connectors. Input sensitivity without attenuation 0 dBFS = 1 dBV , input impedance 20 kOhm. Analog attenuation available in three steps of -3 dB, -6 dB and -12 dB for an input sensitivity of respectively 0 dBFS = 4 dBV, 7 dBV or 13 dBV.
Page 8 Alignment errors are then optimized individually, not resorting to common crude bulk correction over the entire frequency spectra. The Algorithms use psycho acoustic reasoning for alignment and correction of the loudspeaker room transfer function. The correction improves sound quality in the whole room, provides improved transient response, clarity &...
Page 9: Wavelet App Controls
Wavelet App Controls After performing either the Quick Setup or Wireless Setup, above, you can fully control your Wavelet. Please open a browser on your smart device, smart phone, or computer. Here we have opened Safari on and iPad. In the address bar, enter the IP Address that displays on your Wavelet during startup, and click Enter or Go- here the IP Address is 192.168.0.105 Tip: You can bookmark this page for future use.
Page 10 Apodizing allows you to choose between and Apodizing and Linear DAC modes. The Wavelet features an apodizing circuit that corrects for the pre-ringing native to CODECs. Analog lovers can take advantage of balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA inputs without concern of digital artifacts. Turn on the apodization circuit by choosing “Apodizing”.
Page 11: Contour Settings Explanation
Contour Settings Explanation Before adjusting the contour settings, we recommend performing Room Correction on the Settings Page Brilliance: controls the "air" and definition of a recording above 10kHz Low-Treble: adjusts the brightness or forwardness above 3kHz Upper-Bass: adjusts the fullness or bloom of vocals, cello, etc. below 300 Hz Mid-Bass: determines the apparent speed of decay of bass frequencies.
Page 12: Room Correction Setup
Room Correction Setup Click the Settings button at the top. In settings, you can adjust the default startup volume level, front panel brightness, and select system update, to check and download the latest Wavelet software version. Begin by choosing Setup.
Page 13: Ping Channels
Ping channels Please verify that your cables are correctly connected. Set the volume to at least 85, and slowly ping channel 1- you should hear output at the correct section of your speaker. Follow the included connection diagram, and ping channels to confirm bass, treble, and any sub connections are correctly connected.
Page 14: Running Room Correction
Running Room Correction After you have pinged channels to confirm correction connections, you are ready to setup room correction. Click Settings, Setup, Room correction. Your new Wavelet comes with the microphone file preloaded, so you can click Continue with setup. The on screen instructions will guide you through the process of using the included microphone to capture measurements.
Page 15 After measuring the left channel, Recording successful will display at the bottom of the screen. If you see an error such as “Volume too low,” please check the connections and/or increase the level and measure the left channel again. A successful left channel measurement will display “Recording successful.”...
Page 16 USB Playback Wavelet can be used as a USB DAC, with any Mac/PC or other device that interfaces with the USB 2.0 Audio specification. Connect one end of the included USB cable to the back of Wavelet, and the other end to your playback device. Please make sure Wavelet is turned on, before starting playback program or sending digital audio to it.
Page 17: Optimizing Analog Inputs
Optimizing Analog Inputs When using the analog inputs it is useful to optimize the input levels according to how they are being used. This will maximize the signal to noise ratio and provide optimal gain while preventing distortion from input overload. Outboard DAC to Wavelet Analog Inputs Using Wavelet as your Preamplifier The Wavelet has adequate internal gain for virtually any outboard DAC ouput.
Page 18: Wavelet Accessories
Wavelet Accessories Inside the Wavelet processor carton packaging you’ll find the included measurement microphone, and a 25 ft. XLR mic cable. At the opposite end of the carton you will find a power supply with a five pin locking connector and its 115 V AC cable, a compact remote volume control, a Wi-Pi WiFi wireless network connector or WiFi antennae and a SanDisk USB memory stick.
Page 19: Designer Notes
Designer Notes Why is Room Correction Necessary? To the left is a 2 dimensional simulation of a 1ms wave pulse from a pair of conventional speakers into a room similar to the above. Because the dispersion exceeds 60 degrees, undesirable energy from each speaker is reflected back into the room within a few thousandths of a second.
Page 20 After less than 1/100th of a second, the room has developed a complex wave pattern with energy varying with room position. The listener is now awash in a series of wave-fronts which will soon reflect off the wall behind. A mere 5 milliseconds later, the initial direct wave-front has now reflected off the rear wall and has made its way back to the listener.
Page 21 To the right is the irregular frequency response of a speaker on axis in the presence of room boundaries. The smoothed curve is the result of applying conventional room correction methods. Below left is the impact of the correction on the Fequency-Time domain.
Page 22: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Wavelet Wireless Remote Appears to Not Connect or Displays a White Screen a. If you are using a wired ethernet cable from your modem/router to Wavelet a. Please confirm you are using the included ethernet to USB adaptor, and are connected to the USB port in the upper right rear of Wavelet.
Page 23 My unit will not fully power on/clicks for a few seconds then shuts off a) Wavelet II was not allowed to fully boot due to receiving a premature digital signal. Please turn off all sources and streams, unplug them from the back of Wavelet II, power Wavelet II off, wait 20 seconds and power back on.
Page 24 Wavelet II displays IP address but can’t connect a) Wireless isolation is turned on within your router, please disengage in your router settings- this setting blocks communication from devices within the network. If Wavelet II displays an IP Address, it has connected to your router.
