Customizing the Nº502 Mark Levinson
Activating
Subwoofers
Although the Nº502 supports up to four subwoofers, the outputs can only
be activated as one or two L/R pairs.
The Subwoofer 1 and Subwoofer 2 menu options control the activation or
deactivation of each Subwoofer L/R pair for each Speaker Setup. The
Subwoofer 1 menu option must be set to Yes to activate a Subwoofer L/R
pair for the selected Speaker Setup. When the menu option is active, then
the associated rear panel analog outputs (balanced and unbalanced) are
also activated.
If the menu option is set to No, then the subwoofers are deactivated for
the selected Speaker Setup and no signal is output to the associated rear
panel connectors.
Note Subwoofer 2 is only available for selection if Subwoofer 1 is set to Yes.
Subwoofer Image
A single subwoofer can be used, even though a subwoofer pair is
activated. The Subwoofer Image parameter identifies if the subwoofer
outputs are mono or stereo. The selected option affects both Subwoofer 1
and Subwoofer 2. The available options are:
• Mono – sends the same mono subwoofer information to BOTH the
left and right subwoofers. Use this setting for a system with a single
subwoofer.
• Stereo – the left and right subwoofers are independent, so the
information sent to each is driven by the input source and selected
processing.
Crossovers
Controls the crossovers for each selected Speaker Setup.
Frequency
Sets the frequency for the crossover point of each speaker pair. The
crosssover frequency can be selected for the Front L/R, Center, Surround
L/R, and Back L/R speakers.
The selectable crossover frequency range is 30Hz to 120Hz in 10Hz
increments. Two additional settings are also available:
• Full Range – the speakers reproduce full range audio. Bass is
redirected to all speakers that are set to Full Range.
• Full Range Plus Sub – provides additional bass to the front speakers
below 60Hz. The front speakers operate at Full Range. The subwoofer
outputs only reproduce frequencies below 60Hz.
