Page 19: Setting Up A Subwoofer
SETTING UP A SUBWOOFER Each zone has a crossover filter that can allow only high frequencies, or only low frequencies to pass, or be disabled (and allow all frequencies to pass) Both the crossover type and the crossover frequency has to be set before the crossover filter is enabled. This can be done by selecting the correct “crossover filter”... -
Page 20: Setting Minimum/Maximum Volume
SETTING MINIMUM/MAXIMUM VOLUME The output’s “min volume” and “max volume” settings are the absolute volume levels A volume level of 0 means that the signal level coming into the switch is the same as the signal level going out Each step of one of the settings is a 05dB change So a setting of 1 = +05dB gain, and -1 = -05dB loss So the default values are 24 = 120dB gain, and -120 = -60dB loss The gain command is given in 0.5dB steps and uses an offset of 200 to indicate a gain of 0.0dB. -
