A word about system low end
The above settings will produce a nominally “flat” system. It is currently fashionable
for modern systems to have 6 dB to 15 dB boost in output compared to midband. If
this is desired then simply do not cut the drive to the subs and if necessary turn the
attenuator clockwise to wide open. If such drastic response is required consider
using an “Aux Fed Sub” arrangement.
Dynamics settings:
The following settings have been chosen to provide a reasonable balance between
dynamic range and speaker protection. You may wish to save an additional preset
with “safe mode” settings by reducing the threshold by 6 dB. It is often a good idea to
start the system up in the safe mode until it is determined that everything is running
correctly and the system operator is capable of “safe driving”. The trade off is more
protection for less dynamic range.
