    2.0 D 0.90 WNER ANUAL V 4.4 High/Lowpass filters The Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core features fully customizable highpass and lowpass filters. These filters can be used to control the pass-band of the speaker or subwoofer. For example, with a custom lowpass, it is easy to implement a more precise digital cross- over filter for a subwoofer.

  • Page 16: Custom Parametric Equalizers

    2.0 D 0.90 WNER ANUAL V 4.5 Custom Parametric Equalizers The Custom Parametric Equalizers (PEQs) are very versatile filter structures that can implement a wide range of different bandstop, bandpass, highpass and lowpass filters. All user-defined parametric EQs are organized in 16 filter slots. The first step of the Parametric EQ tool is the filter list screen.

  • Page 18 2.0 D 0.90 WNER ANUAL V EXAMPLE: Adding a psycho-acoustic 3 kHz dip Background: The idea behind making a 3 kHz dip originates from the human auditory system and diffuse field characteristics. The human hearing is less sensitive to diffuse fields in the neighborhood of 3 kHz. Because of a flat microphone response, compared to the original listening situation for example in a concert hall, many recordings have too much energy around 3 kHz.

    2.0 D 0.90 WNER ANUAL V 6. Advanced Functions 6.1 Advanced Calibration Advanced calibration gives the user more control over the calibration parameters. The procedure is similar to the typical calibration, but with some additional steps. Refer to ”Typical Calibration” section of this manual for an overview of the basic process. To perform the advanced calibration, choose the “Advanced Calibration”...

In the Typical calibration, automatic detection of delay is always employed when calibrating two subwoofers (either stereo or dual-mono) but not in full-range 2.0 mode.

  • Page 23: Multi-Point (Wide Area) Calibration

    2.0 D 0.90 WNER ANUAL V 6.2 Multi-point (Wide Area) Calibration Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core features a wide area optimization method which allows for a larger ”sweet spot” to be corrected. Fortunately, wide area algorithm does not require you to measure dozens of different places around the listening area.

  • Page 24: Measurements

    2.0 D 0.90 WNER ANUAL V 7. Measurements The Measurement menu allows viewing the room responses measured during the automatic calibration process. These measurements always show the most important frequency range in terms of room correction – from 16 Hz to 200 Hz. In addition, you can create and view up to two custom measurements.

  • Page 25: Connection Examples

    2.0 D 0.90 WNER ANUAL V ➢ Close the measurement dialog with the OK button to store the measured response. ➢ Remember that each sound profile has its own measurement data. This way, with up to four profiles available, you can store a maximum of 8 custom measurements.

  • Page 26: Troubleshooting

    2.0 D 0.90 WNER ANUAL V 9. Troubleshooting Ambiguous delay: this error may occur at the beginning of the calibration ✗ process if the distance / delay is not detected correctly. In most cases it happens either because of a bad placement of the microphone, or simply because of too low calibration volume compared to the ambient noise.
  • Page 27 2.0 D 0.90 WNER ANUAL V Custom filters get disabled: this can happen for two main reasons. First of ✗ all, when you start the calibration, all filters are disabled automatically. Even if you cancel the calibration before a new room correction is applied, the disabled filters are not activated with the exception of infrasonic and high/lowpass filters.
