Profile Name
By using the remote control or the front panel navigation keys and volume knob, each profile can be renamed, up to
16 characters long. When finished, press SELECT. However, please note that it is best to set profile names in Anthem
Room Correction because, during file upload, ARC overwrites the name set in the menu.
Subwoofer / Center / Surround / Etcetera
Anthem Room Correction automatically sets these.
For manual setup, if you are using any of these speakers, set each to “On.” Otherwise, set them to “Off.” This step is
essential to keep sounds from going missing. Setting unavailable channels to “Off” causes sound (that would
otherwise have come from those speakers) to reroute to the appropriate available speakers. Front speakers cannot be
turned off, these are required for all profiles.
5.2 BASS MANAGEMENT
Subwoofers play two things, LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel sound in multichannel soundtracks and bass
redirected from speakers that are configured to use a crossover (i.e., there’s a Hz value set in the bass management
menu instead of being set to “Off”). Some people prefer to play 2-channel music without the use of a subwoofer. The
reason often cited for this is that subwoofers do not blend well with the main speakers. Do not fear! Anthem Room
Correction excels in integrating subwoofers with the main speakers. When using Anthem Room Correction, we strongly
recommend using at least one subwoofer to enhance all the speakers. A subwoofer, with a built-in amplifier, plays
bass that is louder, deeper, and with less distortion than that of most full-range speakers. (there are some amazing
full range speakers and not that great subwoofers available so this is a general rule of thumb)
In this menu, enter information about your speakers so that bass does not become distorted. The bass manager is a
crossover that divides the audio into two frequency bands. The result is less bass going to speakers, and more bass
going to the subwoofer.
If your subwoofer has a built-in crossover, set it to “bypass” or set its frequency control to the highest frequency since
the MRX/AVM handles this.
Similarly, if your subwoofer has a phase option, set it to 0 since the MRX/AVM handles this as well. Highlighting Bass
Management, then pressing SELECT displays this menu:
