Using the DSP8000
loudspeakers
Changing the treble, bass, or phase
The DSP loudspeakers provide sophisticated treble and
bass controls, to allow you to adjust the broad balance
of the system to correct for the acoustics of your
listening room, or for a misbalanced recording.
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.
You can also change the absolute phase of the signal,
to compensate for signals which are out of phase,
giving an unnatural-sounding bass.
If you have a Meridian Surround Controller these
functions are performed via the surround controller.
To change the treble
Press Function < or Function > until the display
shows the current treble.
For example:
Tre.+0.0
Press Function A or Function V 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 Function < or Function > until the display
shows the current bass setting.
For example:
Bass+0.0
Press Function A or Function V to change the
bass.
