Meridian Audio 541 Manuale Utente

Changing the listening position

A conventional stereo system provides a single balance control,

which changes the relative loudness of the two loudspeakers.

The 541 Surround Controller provides a more sophisticated

adjustment which correspond to changing the effective listening

position relative to the loudspeakers.

Two separate controls are provided, one to move the listening

position to the left or right, and one to move it to the front or rear.

left or right

Press

The display shows the direction and position of the listening

position.

For example:

The arrow indicates the direction, and the number indicates the

position where 0 is central, 8 is line with corresponding main

speaker, and 10 is fully to one side.
