21 PLACING THE MONIT ORS This manual section is split into two. The first p art is a direct guide on how to optimize your listening facilities to ensure optimal performance of your AIR monitor system.
22 PLACING THE MONIT ORS Placement of monitors and acoustics do influence monitor sound. AIR series provides powerful tools to compensate for different placement. Below , please find a description of the most common monitor placements and appropriate compensation.
23 CHECKING - THE PLACEMENT OF THE MONITORS Overview 1 In the Setup menu: Select setup type (e.g. 5.1 or stereo) matching your application 2 Check the phase (using the CD) 3 Check the monitor position.
24 Equalizing The AIR System menu offers a two-band shelving type equalizer . This can be used individually on each monitor , and it is implemented for a fine adjustment of the tonal balance.
25 Overview 1 Select Setup menu from the Main menu - then Calibrate monitor 2 Select each monitor and set calibration level using the CD Calibration procedure The calibration has to be made to ensure that all monitors produce the same sound pressure level in the listening position when fed with the same signal.
26 PLACING THE SUBWOOFER Placement on the floor In the corner Adjacent to wall Free standing Advant ages Gain of bass response Gain of bass response Position can be optimized with regard to standing w.
27 CHECKING - SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT Do not place the subwoofer on these lines quarter or halfway between walls. Overview 1 Main menu, set volume -20 dB 2 Main menu, select Bass Management: 120 Hz 3 Set Bass Management to “on” 4 Check the monitor position using the CD, tracks 30-44 5 Go to: Calibrating the subwoofer with the main system.
28 CALIBRA TING THE SUBWOOFER - with the main monitors Bass Management Bass management (sometimes called bass redirection) is a very important and useful tool - and it is in general an absolute necessity if you want to make a 5-channel set-up in a small room! There are several reasons for this.
29 CALIBRA TING THE SUBWOOFER - with the main monitors LFE Gain Range: 0 to +14dB The LFE channel can be boosted up to 18dB using this parameter . Polarity Range: 0 or 180º If the Subwoofer is correctly placed, setting the Polarity parameter at 180º should result in a full Phase cancellation at the set Cross -over frequency .
30 ACOUSTICS - BACKGROUND INFO Acoustics When we talk about making a room "sound right", we are probably dealing with room acoustics as a science acoustics has been around for about hundred years. Until then good acoustics happened by experiment, by experience, or simply by accident.
31 ACOUSTICS - BACKGROUND INFO Sabines formula Sabine is the father of modern acoustics. He found that reverberation time is described by a relationship between the room size and the amount of absorption in the room. Larger rooms - longer reverberation.
32 ACOUSTICS - BACKGROUND INFO Diffusers A diffuser provides dif fuse reflection of the sound radiated against it. It can be a very useful solution in cases where reflections are disturbing the sound image and it is not advisory to ad further absorption.
33 BACKGROUND INFO - ACOUSTICS St anding W aves S tanding waves exist in all kind of rooms. The shape of the room, the dimensions of the room, and the relationship between the dimensions of the room, are important parameters that will determine the frequencies around which the phenomenon exists as well as the distribution of these standing waves.
ACOUSTICS - BACKGROUND INFO 34 Room modes These special frequencies are also called room modes. S tanding waves between parallel walls are called axial modes. Other modes exist. For instance t angential and radial modes. (See the illustration). Normally the axial modes are the strongest.
35 ACOUSTICS - BACKGROUND INFO The standing waves are characterized by having a maximum sound pressure at the boundaries of the room. Depending on the frequency there are one or more dips across the room. In a box shaped room the frequencies can be calculated as follows: where f = frequency in Hz c = speed of sound (approx.
ACOUSTICS - BACKGROUND INFO 36 At low frequencies a monitor can be considered as to radiate the sound energy in all directions. This is also called a 4 π radiation.
37 ACOUSTICS - BACKGROUND INFO Comb Filtering The filtering function that arises when a signal is added to itself af ter having been delayed in time is called a comb filter . The resulting frequency response resembles a comb, hence the name. T wo 500 Hz sinusoidal tones added.
ACOUSTICS - BACKGROUND INFO 38 T wo typical situations in which comb filters arise, either acoustically or electrically . In general: All digital signal processing takes time. This means in practice that comb filter effects can arise if you loop a signal via, for example, a compressor and combine this signal with the original.
39 ACOUSTICS - BACKGROUND INFO Rear wall cancellation When the monitor is set up at some distance in front of a wall, reflections from the wall may occur and influence the perceived frequency response. This could result in comb filtering if all frequencies produced by the monitor were radiated in all directions.
THE SUBWOOFER - BACKGROUND INFO 40 The Subwoofer A subwoofer is a monitor that reproduces low frequencies. The purpose is to t ake over from the main monitor(s) as frequencies approach the lower end of the frequency range. I.e. approximately below 120 Hz.
41 THE SUBWOOFER & LFE CHANNEL - BACKGROUND INFO Checking summing phase cancellation In a basic 2-channel set-up or 5-channel set-up (like the ITU-775) a sub-woofer is not specified and is not required. But making audio production to be played back on consumer equipment, one has to ensure that the mix will sound right in this situation.
DELA YING MONIT ORS LINE-UP & CALIBRA TION 42 ITU 775 When using a 5.x set-up with monitors arranged on a circle line (as with ITU 775) the distance from the listener to each of the main monitors is the same. In case of limited space the three front monitors can be arranged on a straight line.
43 LINE-UP & CALIBRA TION - BACKGROUND INFO Calibration of 5.1 in an ITU-775 arrangement In a 5.1 system based on the ITU arrangement, all main channels have in principle the same conditions: there is one monitor per channel and each is placed the same distance from the listener .
44 THE AIR REMOTE Introduction When perfect setup and calibrations is in place, optimal performance from the AIR system monitors is achieved by controlling level on the monitors themselves as opposed to controlling via the mixing console. Therefore a remote control is a natural extension to the AIR monitor system.
45 THE AIR REMOTE REF LEVEL 1-3 keys T o recall Reference Level 1-3: Press relevant key shortly . The key LED indicates activated Reference Level. T o set Reference Level 1-3: Set level using the large VOLUME dialer in the center of the remote. Press and hold relevant Reference level key for approx.
46 AIR SOFT The AIR SOFT is a software editor for the AIR System monitors. All parameters controllable via the display locally on the System Controller , as well as the Reference Level features available via the AIR Remote can be controlled via the AIR Soft program.
47 AIR SOFT Main This is the Main screen from where all other AIR SOFT screens are accessed. The (((•))) network icon (upper left corner) If steady: The computer running the AIR SOFT is not correctly connected to AIR monitors. Check connections, cables and refer to the setup-illustrations on pages 9-13 in this manual.
48 AIR SOFT Network Accessing the Network Screen Press the (((•))) icon in the Main screen to access the Network facilities. In this screen various global network settings are handled. Autodetect Press to let the AIR SOFT scan your COM ports. If an AIR System is connected to any port it will be recognized.
49 AIR SOFT System Setup Monitor assignment T ask • Press monitor symbol to activate pink noise test-tone. • Then select task for the monitor now playing the noise. Serial number and type will be indicated. A monitor marked with an exclamation mark indicates that an “unknown” monitor has been detected.
