Changing The Treble Or Bass - Meridian 818 User Manual

Changing the treble or bass

The 818 Reference Audio Core provides sophisticated
treble and bass controls, to allow you to adjust the
broad balance of a Meridian DSP loudspeaker system
to correct for the acoustics of your listening room, or
for a misbalanced recording.
These controls are performed by the DSP
loudspeakers, and are only available if your 818
Reference Audio Core is set up with fixed outputs.
The controls are more subtle than conventional
tone controls, and take advantage of digital signal
processing techniques to provide a more natural
adjustment of the frequency response.
To change the treble
• Press < or > (remote or under the front panel) until
the display shows the current treble.

For example:
• Press A or V (remote or under the front panel) to
change the treble.
The treble control tilts the frequency of the response
over the entire frequency range to make the sound
brighter or dimmer. It can be adjusted between ±10db
in 0.5dB steps. Normally settings between +1.0 and
-2.0 will give the most natural results.
To change the bass
• Press < or > (remote or under the front panel) until
the display shows the current bass setting.

For example:
• Press A or V (remote or under the front panel) to

response in the room by ±5dB in 0.5dB steps.

most natural results.
