PRESET
UK
Every MITUS series speaker features 8 different presets designed to adapt the speaker answer to the environment where it will be used or
to make it suitable for special uses.
Selection is made through the “PRESET” switch.
The presets are a quick and precise tool for installers or sound technicians to speed up system setup according to the most frequent usage
conditions.
The preset to be chosen substantially depends on the system configuration, i.e. from the number
of speakers in the array and the inclination of each one of them. The two last presets -called
INDOOR- are expressly designed for usage in enclosed areas inside generally reverberating
buildings.
-1 to 2 SPKR – 0 to 4°: When the system is composed of one or two MITUS 206LA speakers and
the angle between them (if they are two) is between 0° and 4°.
-2 SPKR – 6 to 10°: When the system is composed of two MITUS 206LA speakers and the angle
between them is between 6° and 10°.
-3 to 6 SPKR – 0 to 4°: When the system is composed of three, four, five or six MITUS 206LA
speakers and the angle between them is between 0° and 4°.
-3 to 6 SPKR – 6 to 10°: When the system is composed of three, four, five or six MITUS 206LA speakers and the angle between them is
between 6° and 10°. For example if the system is composed of six speakers in a J shaped array with the following angles between the
speakers starting from the top: 0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, 8°, then the first 4 speakers are configured with the '3 to 6 SPKR – 0 to 4°' preset, while the last
two (with a 6° and 8° inclination) have to be configured with the '3 to 6 SPKR – 6 to 10°' preset.
-7+ SPKR – 0 to 4°: When the system is composed of 7 or more MITUS 206LA speakers and the angle between them is between 0° and 4°.
-7+ SPKR – 6 to 10°: When the system is composed of 7 or more MITUS 206LA speakers and the angle between them is between 6° and
10°.
-3 to 6 SPKR – INDOOR: When the system is composed of three, four, five or six MITUS 206LA speakers regardless of the angle between
them, and the system is used in reverberating rooms.
-7+ SPKR – INDOOR: When the system is composed of 7 or more MITUS 206LA speakers regardless of the angle between them, and the
system is used in reverberating rooms.
The preset selection depends on system configuration and type of desired sound. First of all it is
necessary to choose the installation type between GROUND (laid on the ground or stage) and
HUNG (flown over the MITUS 206LA or in an array of SUBs only). Then different equalization
curves are to be associated to each one of these two installations in order to change the sound
characteristics of the SUB.
-HUNG: Flown installation, default equalization curve, general purpose.
-HUNG PUNCH: Flown installation, the sound of the sub becomes drier, reduced low frequency
extension but more energy concentrated in the 80-120Hz range.
-HUNG with INFRA: The system is composed of two different SUBs, MITUS 212FSA flown over
MITUS 206LA and MITUS 118SA or MITUS 121SA laid on the ground. This type of system is the most complete and suitable to reproduce
sound in great events and over huge areas, most of all outdoor, since it permits obtaining a more even distribution of low frequency energy
over the whole listening area. The MITUS 118SA/121SA SUB laid on the ground has to be configured with the INFRA preset.
-GROUND: Sub on the ground, default equalization curve, general purpose.
-GROUND PUNCH: Sub on the ground, the sound of the sub becomes drier, reduced low frequency extension but more energy
concentrated in the 80-120Hz range.
-GROUND with INFRA: The system is composed of two different SUBs, MITUS 212/FSA flown over MITUS 118/SA MITUS 121/SA, all laid
on the ground. This type of system is recommended when you want to use all the SUBs available in order to increase the SPL but the MITUS
212FSA cannot be flown. The MITUS 118SA/121SA SUB laid on the ground has to be configured with the INFRA preset.
-CARDIOID FRONT: Cardioid configuration, set this preset on the SUB oriented toward the audience
-CARDIOID REAR: Cardioid configuration, set this preset on the SUB oriented toward the stage (physically rotated 180° with respect to the
FRONT).
Since the speaker can be used both as stage monitor and general purpose speaker in Front Of
House applications, presets are divided into 2 groups of 4 presets each. The first 4 presets are
for stage monitor applications whereas the remaining 4 (called FOH) are to be used with the
speaker installed on pole or truss stand and when the audience is not too close.
The description of the single presets is the same as that of models MITUS 112A and 115A,
except for the DRUMFILL which is specially designed to monitor drummers, preferably in
combination with a SUBWOOFER.
