3 . Controls/Speaker Adjustment
The front (control) panel
On the front you will find a control panel that allows detailed fine-tuning of
your monitors to your particular room acoustics and personal listening pref-
erences. The following tips are intended to assist you at using the controls in
the best manner.
Please note that using the controls may have a great impact on the overall
sound characteristics of your loudspeakers. We recommend using the con-
trols with utmost care and only after several audio tests with familiar record-
ings.
Input gain
‘Input Gain’ regulates the overall input sensitivity of your loudspeaker within
a range of -10 to +10 dB, and controls the volume of your loudspeaker equally
in all frequency ranges.
X-Curve Filter
In large film score mixing rooms, it may be desirable to have a representation
of the sound in the theatres. To meet the ISO 2969 Standard, the Dolby™ X-
curve has to be applied. The X-curve engages a 3 dB per octave roll-off above
2 kHz. The S6A Mk2 and S7A Mk2 have a switch located below the input
selector that activates this filter, eliminating the need for external processing
during the film mix.
