When you have finished the adjustment, press the [ ] button to return to the screen in step 6. 14. Repeat steps 6 to 13 to adjust the filter of each speaker. 15. Press the [ADJ] button to return to the previous mode. HX-D2 17 Operations Common to Each Mode English About the Standard mode and Multi mode These two modes can be used to make the following various sound adjustments for playing back music sources: · Setting of the filter (high-pass filter and low-pass filter) frequency for each speaker · Tone adjustment by P. EQ (parametric equalizer) or BASS/TREB (bass/treble) · Position setting by TIME ALIGN (time alignment) · Sub-woofer "ST" (stereo), "MONO" (monaural) and "OFF" About filter frequency (fc) The filter (high-pass filter and low-pass filter) frequency can be set for each speaker according to the characteristics of the speaker. Set the lower limit frequency to be played back mainly on that speaker on the high-pass filter (simply called "HPF" from here on), and set the upper limit frequency on the low-pass filter (simply called "LPF" from here on). When HPF is set to "2kHz" and LPF is set to "20kHz" 2kHz Select the Standard mode or the Multi mode according to your speaker configuration. · Standard mode: + REAR(2ch) + · Multi mode: LOW(2ch) + FRONT(2ch) + SUB-W(2ch) HIGH(2ch) + SUB-W(2ch) FRONT(2ch) MID(2ch) + Frequency band played back mainly by the speaker 20kHz (2kHz to 20kHz) Frequency set on the low-pass filter Frequency set on the high-pass filter When the filter is set to "THROUGH", the setting for that filter is disabled, and all frequencies are played back. When HPF is set to "2kHz" and LPF is set to "THROUGH" Frequency band played back 2kHz mainly by the speaker (2kHz onwards) GAbout filter settings The following filters can be set for each speaker: · · · · Filter frequency (fc) Filter slope (SLP) Gain (G) Phase (PHASE) Frequency set on the high-pass filter Notes: · Input of a low-band signal to the tweeter may cause a malfunction. When HPF is set to "THROUGH" and LPF is set to "20kHz" Frequency band played back mainly by the speaker (to 20 kHz) 20kHz Frequency set on the low-pass filter 18 HX-D2 Operations Common to Each Mode English The following figure shows the factory default settings for filter frequencies in the Multi mode. Frequency band played back mainly by HIGH (2 kHz onwards) Frequency band played back mainly by MID (500 Hz to 2 kHz) Frequency band played back mainly by LOW (80 kHz to 500 Hz) Frequency band played back mainly by SUB-W (to 80 kHz) 80Hz 500Hz 2kHz The filter frequency ranges that can be set vary according to the speaker. Note, however, that the frequencies are selected from the value (1/3 octave steps) currently set on this unit. Speaker Standard FRONT FRONT REAR SUB-W Multi HIGH MID LOW SUB-W HPF (lower limit frequency) 315Hz to 20kHz (factory default setting: 2kHz) THROUGH, 25Hz to 250Hz (factory default setting:THROUGH) THROUGH, 16Hz to 80Hz (factory default setting:THROUGH) 315Hz to 20kHz (factory default setting: 2kHz) THROUGH, 200Hz to 10kHz (factory default setting: 500 Hz) THROUGH, 25Hz to 250Hz (factory default setting: 80Hz) THROUGH, 16Hz to 80Hz (factory default setting: THROUGH) LPF (upper limit frequency) 250Hz to 20kHz, THROUGH (factory default setting: 2kHz) 25Hz to 250Hz, THROUGH (factory default setting: 80Hz) 250Hz to 20kHz, THROUGH (factory default setting: 2kHz) 250Hz to 10kHz, THROUGH (factory default setting: 500 Hz) 25Hz to 250Hz, THROUGH (factory default setting: 80Hz) -: THROUGH (fixed) cannot be changed. About filter slope (SLP) Effectiveness can be adjusted for each filter (HPF or LPF). "-12dB/oct" is more effective than "-6dB/oct" and "-18dB/oct" is much more effective. The factory default setting is "-12dB/oct". Try switching between "-6dB/oct", "-12dB/oct" and "18dB/oct " and select the setting that sounds most natural to you. GCharacteristics during filter slope adjustment Gain(G) - 6dB -6dB - 12dB -12dB - 18dB -18dB 1oct 1oct Filter Frequency(fc) HX-D2 19 Operations Common to Each Mode English About gain (G) This function allows you to adjust how much the output level is to be lowered. GCharacteristics during gain adjustment SUB-WOOFER LOW MID HIGH In the Standard mode: In the Multi mode: HIGH HIGH 0dB -24dB MID About phase (PHASE) The factory default setting is "NOR" (forward phase). Try switching between "NOR" (forward phase) and "REV" (reverse phase) and select the setting that sounds most natural to you. MID LOW Adjusting the position (TIME ALIGN) GAbout the time alignment function This function allows you to adjust the speakers so that any listener in the car can obtain the same sound effect from the speakers. This item can be adjusted when the Audio mode is the Standard mode or the Multi mode. LOW SUB-W SUB-W 1. Press the [ ] or [ ] button to select "SOUND".
