Loudspeaker Setup Controls - Meridian 808 User Manual

Loudspeaker setup controls

The 808 Signature Reference CD Player provides
several controls to allow you to adjust DSP
loudspeakers to suit the characteristics of your room.
The Subwoofer control adjusts the subwoofer
crossover frequency and gain.
The Location control adjusts the sound to
compensate for the placement of the main speakers.
The Room Ht control adjusts the speakers according
to the height of your room.
The EBC control adjusts the sound to compensate for
highly reflective walls.
The EBA control improves the bass alignment in
DSP loudspeakers that support it. Note that the extra
processing adds a time delay, so it should be disabled
for video sources.
These controls are only available if you are
connected to DSP loudspeakers that support
them, using the SpeakerLink connection, and if
SpeakerLink Setup mode is selected (see Setting
up SpeakerLink, page 36).
