SPEAKERS SETUP AND LEVELS SETUP

SPEAKERS SETUP

Speakers size

The first few adjustments tell the SR-14mkII which type of speakers

are in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that determine

which speakers receive low frequency (bass) information.

If you use full THX speaker systems which are approved by LUCASFILM

LTD, set to the SMALL/THX position for front L/R ch., center ch. , surr. L/

R ch., surr.back ch, and then select subwoofer =YES.

In turn, these settings will determine which speakers receive low

frequency (bass) information.

For the purpose of establishing proper bass reproduction, use the

LARGE settings if the speaker being used at any position is a

traditional full-range loudspeaker that is capable of reproducing

sound below 80 Hz.

Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite

speakers that are not able to reproduce sounds below 80Hz. Note

that when “small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to

reproduce low frequency sounds.

Low frequency sounds from every channel in your system can be fed

to a single subwoofer, since low frequency sounds are non-

directional and not location sensitive. The SR-14mkII will

automatically send low frequency signals from any channel set to

“SMALL” to the Low Frequency Effects (Subwoofer) channel.

Remember that the “large” and “small” descriptions do not refer to

the actual physical size of the speakers, but to their ability to

reproduce low frequency sounds.

If you are in doubt as to which category describes your speakers, consult

the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.

SPEAKER TYPE AND POSITIONING FOR THX SURROUND EX

Type

THX suggests the use of pair of dipolar speakers for the Sb channels

but a pair of monopole type speaker may also be used.

Positioning

It has been found that an angle of 150° from the Front Center speaker

is a good starting point for establishing the location of Sbl and Sbr

speakers. This is suggested from AES preprint #4860. The optimum

position for Surround Back speakers is somewhat room dependent.

The Surround Back channel should be enveloping but not lost in the sound

of the side speakers. Most dipoles have an arrow on them to indicate their

orientation towards the screen. So for the side dipole, the arrows point

forward. For the back dipoles, the arrows should point towards each other

to achieve the correct acoustical phasing in the room:
