Hi all just has a SVS Ultra delivered the PC 13.
I have a few questions about the settings available? I'm setting it up with my two channel pre amp.
I'm also using an Antimode so I assume I set the Sub up first them run the Antimode ?
Going through the menu on the DSP :
1. Volume....This is quiet straight forward setting the volume to match the the main speakers with the aid of REW and a SPL meter.
2. High pass... I assume this is used if you have your main speakers connected, I don't so I've disabled this?
3. Low pass....I assume this is used to select the crossover frequency, or what frequency you want the sub to start working at?
4. Low pass slope...what is the slope?
5. Phase degree? How do you decide what degree you set it at ? Do you play a bass test tone and then with SPL set it at the highest reading on the SPL?
6. High pass delay...again if I ain't connecting main speakers to sub, I don't need to bother with it ?
7. Room gain comp...mine is in a 5 x3 room (small) so I've set it at 40htz.
8. Subwoofer tune...used depending on how many ports you have bungled up ?
7. Peq. To boost or cut chosen frequencies ? But what does the Q do ? I read somewhere the lower the Q number the wider surrounding frequencies will be cut So if you want to cut a narrow spike you would have it on the highest Q number 14.4 ?
Hope that all makes sense?
I'm using a Bryston stereo pre amp with the output going to the Antimode then to the SVS, I've disabled the Anti Mode while I set up the sub, then I will do a Antimode sweep.
After I've got my stereo side sorted I have a Pioneer AV amp which the LFE channel plugs into the Antimode and will let the Pioneer do its automatic set up with the Antimode turned on, is this the correct way of setting it up.
From the initial play about with the SVS it sounds awesome!
Any help welcomed x
