a left and right conguration. When activated, the even-num-
bered zone turns grey, and the odd-numbered zone controls
the settings. This setting allows a high output mode for a pair
of speakers with each zone acting as a discrete channel. The
listening mode is automatically set to stereo when selecting
Stereo Bridge mode. See section 3.5 for additional details.
Zone Power: Toggles the zone between active and stand-
by. When set to Auto mode and music is playing in that
zone, the toggle automatically goes back ON when analog
or digital audio is detected.
ARC: Turns ARC on and o for the zone (only available if ARC
software has been used to upload corrections for the zone).
Zone Name: Assign a name to the zone (up to 16 charac-
ters) and click Apply to save this setting. The names of the
zones appear in ARC, allowing easy identication.
Input Source: Selects the desired input source. An input
can be assigned simultaneously to multiple zones. If you
are not using the built-in matrix switching this remains
static until altered either through the web interface or IP/
RS232 control. Selecting a source here does not prevent
you from changing source dynamically during use through
a compatible home automation system.
Listening Mode > Stereo: The default listening mode. The
audio plays in stereo.
Listening Mode > Mono: Sums the left and right channels
and sends identical signals to both speakers.
Speaker Prole: Selects a specic in-wall or in-ceiling
speaker model for each zone. Selecting a particular model
allows the DSP to optimize the EQ and limiter settings. En-
able a Speaker Prole using the toggle button located right
of the drop-downs. If you don’t know the model of your
speakers, or if your speakers are not listed, select Generic.
Zone Volume: Adjusts the level of the zone. Each zone has
independent volume control. Please note that selecting
a volume level in the Web UI does not prevent you from
changing volume levels dynamically during use with a
compatible automation system.
Power On Volume: The volume level for the zone when it
turns on.
Max Volume: Prevents the volume of the zone from ex-
ceeding the desired level. Please note that an external vol-
ume adjustment cannot override this level. If an automation
system attempts to adjust the volume level higher than the
max volume setting the MDA ignores the command.
Mute: Mutes the zone.
Bass / Treble: Allows ne-tuning of the relative bass and
treble levels of the system. Please note that if using a sub-
woofer, the subwoofer level adjusts the subwoofer level
relative to the main channels.
Left / Right: Adjusts the level of the left and right channels
to set the balance.
Subwoofer: Activates and deactivates the subwoofer and
bass management. Subwoofer output does not function
unless this toggle is enabled. By default, the subwoof-
er signal is output using the Sub Out RCA connection for
the zone. If using a subwoofer, enable this before running
ARC. See section 3.6 for additional details.
Crossover: Sets the crossover point between the sub-
woofer and the main speakers. When using ARC, this value
is automatically set. To change the crossover value after
running ARC, modify the crossover setting in ARC and then
re-upload. The crossover should only be manually adjust-
ed if you are not using ARC.
Sub Level: Adjusts the level of the subwoofer relative to the
mains. When using ARC, this value is automatically set. Unlike
the Crossover setting, manually changing this value after run
-
ning ARC will not negatively impact subwoofer integration.
Sub Phase: Adjusts the phase of the subwoofer relative
to the main channels. Phase is adjustable from 0-180 de-
grees. If a value higher than 180 degrees is required, ad-
just Subwoofer Phase in combination with Sub Polarity for
a full 360-degree range of adjustment. When using ARC,
this value is automatically set using the Automatic Phase
Adjustment tool.
Sub Polarity: Adjusts the polarity of the subwoofer to ei-
ther 0 or 180 degrees. When selecting 180 degrees, the
subwoofer signal is inverted when compared to the main
channels. As a general guide, set Phase and Polarity to 0 if
the subwoofer is near the front speakers and set Phase to
0 and Polarity to 180 if the subwoofer is near the back of
the room. When using ARC, this value is automatically set
using the Automatic Phase Adjustment tool.
Powered by Zone 2 (4, 6, or 8): Congures two consecu-
tive zones to operate together for a stereo pair of speakers
and a dedicated passive subwoofer connected in bridge
mode (and must be connected as such on the rear pan-
el of the unit). When engaged, all adjustments are made
using the controls in the odd-numbered zone, and the
even-numbered zones controls are disabled. For example,
when engaged, Zone 1 controls both left and right speak-
ers connected to Zone 1 and the subwoofer connected to
Zone 2. Enable this feature before running ARC. See sec-
tion 3.7 for additional details.
The user interface design is subject to change.
