34 - Digital Drive Series User’s Manual
Contour frequency and level. These act as an “extra” EQ that can be used to manipulate the frequency
contour of your subwoofer when this particular preset is invoked. For example, notice that preset one raises
the level by 3 dB at 35Hz – this is to accommodate action/adventure movie content.
Theater/Music indicator. This setting allows you to choose between a “theatrical” subwoofer, a “musical”
subwoofer, or somewhere in between. The “musical” setting represents maximum gain from the digital
servo, and thus the least amount of distortion possible from the subwoofer. The “theatrical” setting relaxes
the servo a bit to allow a bit more distortion to enter the playback, making an overall louder and more
impressive sub for explosions and other theatrical content. The scale is 1 for theater (least amount of servo
gain) and 8 for music (most amount of servo gain).
EQ curves. Each preset can have its own unique set of EQ settings. You can select which preset you want
to EQ by either positioning the cursor on a preset column on the SYSTEM SETTINGS screen then pressing
TEST, or by selecting the preset you want on the graph screen, with at the preset eld, or by pressing one
of the preset buttons on the remote.
You will note that presets 1-4 are shipped from the factory with predetermined settings, preset 5’s contour
is set at 0 level from the factory and customizable by the user (i.e. at), and preset 6 defeats all the EQs to
demonstrate the eect the equalization of the subwoofer has on room response.
NOTE: You can select which preset is invoked at system startup by selecting it as shown:
