Setting up the AV receiver/amplifier

For the System 6 THX

Select with M 6200 SW Active

Subwoofer, set the “Speaker Setup” section

of your AV receiver to “small” or “normal” (not

“large”). This ensures that the speakers receive

the right amount of signal, and that the subwoof-

er and front speakers have matching volumes.

Also in the receiver's “Speaker Setup” section

(Bass Management/Speaker Management), make

sure the subwoofer is set to “On”. Set the crosso-

ver frequency for the System 6 THX to 80 Hz.

Setting up the M 620 D dipole speakers

The M 620 D provides a speaker response switch,

which is located between the “plus” and “minus”

speaker terminals on the rear connection panel.

Two response modes are available: “Dipole” and

“Monopole”. For the speaker to run in “Dipole”

mode, set the switch to the inwards position. For

the speaker to run in “Monopole” mode, set the

switch to the outwards position. This disables

half of the M 620 D so it runs as a conventional

direct-radiating loudspeaker. To determine which

response mode the switch is set to, simply per-

form a quick listening test: If the signal radiates

out both sides of the speaker cabinet, it is run-

ning in “Dipole” mode. If there is no signal com-

ing out of the rear tweeters and woofers, the M

620 D is running in “Monopole” (direct) mode. We

recommend using the dipole response mode in

most settings. Direct monopole response is only

advisable in exceptional situations, e.g.:

1) The speaker cannot be placed close to a wall to

reect off.

2) Some multi-channel music recordings e.g., on

SACD or DVD-Audio media, require a surround

sound setup where all the speakers have a dis-

tinct directionality.

Setting up the subwoofer

If your system is based around an AV receiver, set

the subwoofer's frequency control to maximum;

the AV receiver automatically determines the

crossover frequency in relation to the subwoofer's

output.

Modern AV receivers can also determine the sub-

woofer's phase automatically. This happens within

the receiver's “Speaker Setup” utility, which

analyses the distance between the different

speakers and the listening spot. For this to work

correctly, the subwoofer's own phase switch

needs to be on “0°” (LED 2 is off).

If your system uses an older-model AV receiver

or another type of amplier without a setting for

the subwoofer distance,

you can use the subwoofer's phase switch to

manually adapt the phase to the other speakers.

The goal here is for all the bass loudspeaker

membranes that reproduce the frequency range

around the crossover frequency to vibrate in the

same direction. If the phase is set incorrectly,

this may cause a reduced bass response or even

bass cancellations. If the subwoofer is positioned

between the front speakers, we recommend a

phase setting of “0°” (grey area in the diagram

on page 9); if the subwoofer is positioned closer

to the listening spot, a phase of “180°” (LED 2

is on) may be more appropriate. Similarly, the

“180°” setting may help to eliminate bass can-

cellations if you position the subwoofer in other

areas of the room. Always set the phase control

to the position where the bass response is best.

The subwoofer's output setting may vary de-

pending on usage, e.g., home theatre sound

system or music playback. Whereas an action-

packed DVD typically contains very dened sub

bass signals, many music-only sources do not.

This is especially noticeable if your system is

calibrated for optimum DVD playback. To nd

the best compromise between differing sound

sources, use your own subjective judgement.

Our recommendation is to determine the best

subwoofer volume gradually over time.

Avoid conguring the subwoofer volume auto-

matically via your AV receiver's integrated room

analysis computer (advanced receivers only).

Instead, set the subwoofer level provided in

the

Bass Management/Speaker Management

section

(

“

Speaker Setup”) to a high value, such as

+4 to +12 dB. You can then use the subwoofer's

own level control to experiment with differ-

ent bass levels that are suited to your various

listening scenarios.
