FBT MITUS - Manual (Page 18)

PRESET
UK
-ORIGINAL: Corresponds to the typical FBT sound. It is the default general purpose preset
and is thus fit for the majority of applications.
-DEEP: This preset extends and emphasizes the low range of the subwoofer, for a very deep
and soft sound suitable for high quality and medium energy applications, such as acoustic
music, jazz, etc..
-PUNCH: the sound of the sub becomes drier, reduced low frequency extension but more
energy concentrated in the 80-120Hz range. Suitable for rock music and high SPL
applications
-INFRA: The filter is set to a lower frequency with respect to the other presets, thus only very
low frequencies are reproduced. Choose this preset in systems where the MITUS 212FSA (set
with the 'with infra' preset) and MITUS 118/121SA subwoofers are both present at the same time
ORIGINAL – below there are two presets for cardioid configuration with ORIGINAL equalization curve, i.e. by default suitable for
general purpose
- The system is composed of two different SUBs, MITUS 212/FSA and MITUS 118SA or MITUS 121SA, all laid on the ground. This type of
system is recommended when you want to use all the SUBs available in order to increase the SPL but the MITUS 212FSA cannot be flown.
The MITUS 118SA/121SA SUB laid on the ground has to be configured with the INFRA preset.
INFRA – below there are two presets for cardioid configuration with INFRA equalization curve. Choose these presets in systems where the
MITUS 212FSA (set with the 'with infra' preset) and MITUS 118/121SA subwoofers are both present at the same time
-CARDIOID FRONT: Cardioid configuration, set this preset on the SUB oriented toward the audience
-CARDIOID REAR: Cardioid configuration, set this preset on the SUB oriented toward the stage (physically rotated 180° with respect to the
FRONT).
-CARDIOID FRONT: Cardioid configuration, set this preset on the SUB oriented toward the audience
-CARDIOID REAR: Cardioid configuration, set this preset on the SUB oriented toward the stage (physically rotated 180° with respect to the
FRONT).
The presence of 8 DSP-managed presets permits to modify the speaker answer in a much more
accurate way with respect to tune controls. Moreover, presets are already designed and
optimized in an anechoic room to give the speaker the desired character.
-NEARFIELD: Suitable for a very close listening, up to 7-8m. Recommended for small rooms or
with a very close audience where a medium-high SPL is anyway required.
-FARFIELD: For listening to the speaker at a distance over 15-20m. Suitable when the sound
has to be projected over long distances.
-FLOOR: The speaker has specialized, and works as stage monitor. The answer is balanced to
take into account the proximity to the floor and the listening of sounds in a near field.
-VOCAL: Permits obtaining top intelligibility of spoken language even in difficult
environments or with high noise floor. The passband is modified to emphasize vocal range.
-LOUDNESS: Typical answer curve for music application or record, with bass and treble
emphasized with respect to the middle frequencies that, instead, remain slightly in the background. This preset is very satisfying if listened to
at low volume but is also suitable for using the speaker in discos and pubs.
-WARM;: Gives a dense sound quality on middle-low frequencies and a less aggressive quality on trebles. Suitable for broadcasting music
in very sound-absorbing environments or in situations that require a very strong sound at low frequencies and a sweet sound at middle-high
frequencies.
-HI-END SYSTEM: It is characterized by the typical answer of top class speakers that are exclusively designed for touring applications.
Therefore, very linear answer and passband without too much extension on the extremes. Those who are used to working with highly
professional audio systems will find what they look for in this preset.
