Configuring the DSP33 loudspeakers using a computer
Choosing Unused prevents the source from appearing when
you press the corresponding source key on the Meridian System
Remote.
The name used to identify each source is shown in the list of
sources, followed by the Meridian System Remote key used to
select the source in brackets.
●
From the Audio source drop-down menu specify the digital
input you want to use for the source.
Initially all sources are set up to use input D1, but you can
connect a second source to D2.
Tilt
The Tilt setting allows you to adjust the broad balance of the
DSP33 to correct for the acoustics of your listening room, or for
a misbalanced recording.
The Tilt can be adjusted between -10dB and +10dB in 0.5dB
steps. Normally settings between -2.0dB and 1.0dB will give the
most natural results.
Bass
The Bass setting allows you to adjust the bass response to
match the room. The Bass can be adjusted between -5dB and
+5dB steps.
The effect of the Tilt and Bass settings on the frequency
response of the loudspeaker is shown in the following graphs:
