MartinLogan Descent [8/20] Channel multi channel mode

MartinLogan Descent [8/20] Channel multi channel mode
Using an A/V processor and the Descent’s low pass filters.
You may wish to set up the Descent so that it can be used
in both a traditional 2-channel mode and as a LFE (0.1)
channel in a multi-channel mode. By following this setup,
you will allow your processor to handle most of the bass
management while running in multi-channel mode, and
relinquish control of the low pass filter to the Descent
when running in a 2-channel mode.
Signal Connection (see figure 6):
1 Connect the left and right outputs of your preamplifier to
the left and right inputs of the Descent using quality RCA
interconnects. If your preamplifier only has one set of out-
puts you may need to obtain Y adapters from your dealer.
2 Connect the LFE/0.1 subwoofer output of the processor
to the LFE input of the subwoofer using either an RCA
or an XLR interconnect.
Recommended Control Settings (see figure 7):
1 Set your front left and right speakers for wide, large or
full mode in your processor. Set the center and effects
type speakers in limited or narrow mode (see the warning
on page 7).
2 Set the low-pass filter switch to 40Hz if your front speakers
are floor-standing speakers. Set it to 70Hz if your front
speakers are bookshelf speakers.
3 While playing music with bass content, turn the level
control up until the music has deep extended bass that
is not overwhelming.
4 Try the phase control in different settings until the best
blending is obtained. If you are using the Descent to
augment other MartinLogan products, we suggest you
start with the phase set at 90° (0° if you are using Script
loudspeakers).
5 If you have completed steps 1–4 and still have weak or
boomy bass, adjust the 25Hz knob to compensate for
these anomalies. Turn the 25Hz control up and down and
listen to the effects that it has on the music. Try to find a
position that sounds correct to you. Experiment by chang-
ing the level control while adjusting this knob. You should
be able to find a position that gives you deep extended
bass and good blending with your main speakers.
6 Use the bass management section of your processor to set
the subwoofer level at an appropriate level while multi-
channel content is playing. Follow the instructions in your
processor manual to fine-tune the subwoofer level.
