Initial Settings Using 2 Channel (L & R)
Stereo Inputs
Stereo L & R input may be required if using a 2-channel
stereo amplifier, or an amplifier with no LFE output. Connect
2 x interconnect cables (left and right) from an amplifier to
connections marked Line Inputs L & R.
With your pre amplifier set to a low level set the subwoofer
up using the suggested guide below before playing any music/
test tones.
•
Run the LEO room equaliser (see below)
•
Set the volume to 0dB (Page 4/ 5)
•
LFE should be set in accordance to you main speakers
(Page 9)
•
Phase to 0 (Page 9)
•
EQ to OFF (Page 9)
•
LEO to ON (Page 10). Leo turns on automatically after
calibration
Running LEO
Before enabling the LEO room correction, it needs to be set up.
To do this follow these simple steps.
1.
Connect the jack lead of the microphone to the jack
socket next to the encode as in the illustration below.
Connect microphone
2.
Place the microphone at your listening position at
approximate ear height.
NOTE: Ensure there are no obstructions between the
Gold W15 and the microphone other than those normally
in the room.
3.
Hold down the "Cal" button on the remote for 3 seconds.
When it starts, the display will show "CAL" and a test
tone will be heard.
4.
When the LEO calibration has finished, the display will
revert back to the home screen (single red dot in the
middle of the display). The LEO function will also have
been turned on.

Low Pass Filter
The Low Pass Filter (LPF) sets the crossover point and the
slope angle with the main speakers. It is only enabled in
stereo mode. When using the LFE input, the crossover setting
option is not available as it is controlled by the AV amplifier/
receiver.
The table opposite gives suggested crossover points
dependant on the main speakers. The slope angle depends
on how sharply you want the high frequencies to roll off.
This can be adjusted in -6, -12, -18, -24dB/octave steps. It is
recommended that when partnering the Gold W15 with sealed
loudspeakers, a slope of -12dB/octave is used and when
partnering with ported loudspeakers, -24dB/octave is used.
However, experimentation is still advised.
