M-Audio Delta 1010 User Manual page 5

The "Speaker Placement" section allows you to fine-tune your surround monitoring system by
setting the distance from each speaker to your listening position.
< D istance (1ft = 30 cm) – In an ideal surround listening situation, all of the speakers should be equally distant from
the listening position. If some of your speakers (such as the surround channels), are farther away from you than the
remaining speakers (the front satellites, for example), sounds produced from the surround speakers will not reach your
ears at the same time as sounds from the front speakers.
By selecting the speaker distances from the drop-down menus, the Bass Management system calculates the correct
amount of delay compensation to add to each channel. This ensures that sounds from all speakers arrive at your ears at
the same time.
TIP: You can also use this feature if your video display timing lags behind the
audio. By increasing the speaker distance setting for all speakers, you should be
able to re-align video and audio synchronization to your satisfaction.
< M ute / Reroute – Checking these boxes will mute the associated speaker channel.
If the center or subwoofer channels are muted, their audio signals will be re-routed to the left and right front speakers.
This is a useful feature for mix engineers that would like to audition how a mix will sound on a system without a center
channel or subwoofer.
NOTE: If the subwoofer channel is routed to the front speakers, the "Crossover Freq. " for the front speakers must be
set to "Off" for you to hear the low frequency sounds.
