Bass Management - Meridian C61R Installation Manual

Bass management

The Bass management page specifies how bass is handled in
the system for each of the three speaker layouts. The settings are
automatically set to recommended values and can be ignored for a
simple configuration.
Advanced tips
Meridian digital surround controllers allow you to define three
different speaker layouts for use with different types of material:
Music, Logic, and 5.1 Movie. The Bass management page
allows you to specify how the bass is handled in each speaker
layout:
Specifying which speakers should handle the bass
The Main speakers and Surround speakers sections allow you
to specify whether each speaker is Large, in which case it will
handle the bass for that channel, or Small, in which case the bass
for that channel will be redirected to another speaker.
• Click the Next link in the Breadcrumb Trail to proceed to the
next page.
You can choose whether the main front and centre speakers are
specified as Large or Small for each of the Music, Logic, and
5.1 Movie speaker layouts.
The diagram to the right of each tab represents the selected
speaker layout; select Display bass flow to display red arrows on
the diagram indicating how the bass for each channel is handled by
the speakers in the layout for either Multichannel or 2-channel
sources as specified (see below).
Specifying which subwoofers are used in the layout
In the Subwoofers section you can specify how many of the
subwoofers are used in the layout. Subwoofers used in the
layout are indicated by a black square in the layout diagram, and
subwoofers not in use are indicated by a white square.
If there are no subwoofers in the layout the front speakers must
be specified as Large, and they will handle the bass for any other
small speakers in the layout.
