Pro Setup Level Four: Bass Limiter
With the extra low frequency content mixed into film soundtracks, especially in the LFE channel, it is
sometimes preferable to limit overall bass energy to prevent overloading your speakers and/or subwoofer.
The Bass Limiter is designed to protect woofers from over excursion, distortion, or damage. When in
doubt, leave the Bass Limiter at its default 0 dB setting and use sensible master volume levels.
1. IMPORTANT!: Before setting the bass limiter, turn down the level on your subwoofer amplifier.
2. Press and hold the Mode knob until the display changes to the Tone, Balance, and Volume recall.
3. Rotate the Mode knob until the cursor is flashing over the P in PRO SETUP.
4. Press the Mode knob. The display will change to the Pro Setup menu and the cursor will flash over
the L in LABELS/AV
5. Rotate the Mode knob until the cursor flashes over the B in BASS.
6. Press the Mode knob again. The display will change to the bass limiter menu with the cursor
flashing over the S in SUBWOOFER NOISE OFF. If it wasn’t already off, rotate the Input knob to turn the
subwoofer noise off.
7. Rotate the Mode knob until the cursor is flashing over the L in LIMITER CEILING
8. Rotate the Input knob until the limiter ceiling value is –20 dB.
9. Reset your subwoofer to the subwoofer level that you set during calibration.
10. Rotate the Mode knob to SUBWOOFER NOISE OFF and rotate the Input knob to turn on the noise on.
11. Slowly lower the LIMITER CEILING level from –20 dB toward 0 dB until any the any of the woofers in
the system start to “overload”. When this happens, you may hear some mechanical clattering
sound or other evidence of distress. Sometimes the noises you hear are not produced by the subwoofer,
but are objects that are vibrating or rattling.
12. Raise the Bass Limiter ceiling level until you can no longer hear the distortion, clattering, or other
unmusical sounds from any of the woofers in the system.
13. The LIMITER CEILING is now set to its optimum level.
Pro Setup Menu Level Five - Calibrating Channel Delay Times
The Suite 7.1 is equipped with advanced delay circuitry that allows you to independently set the delay
times of each of your home so the signals from eight arrive at the listening position at the correct time.
Ideally, you should try to locate your speakers as close to the same distance from your listening position
as possible so you only need a minimum of delay adjustment.
