To configure the settings under the Notch Filter sub-
menu, a special measuring device is required. Usually,
leave these settings to their defaults, “Off.”
A notch filter cuts the signal of certain frequency ranges
and passes the rest of the signal through. Some
characteristics due to a room's environmental elements,
including walls and smallness of the room, cause a
signal peak in certain low frequencies to occur at the
resonance frequency, resulting in a boomy sound. The
filter reduces the signal at these frequencies causing the
boomy sound.
To know which frequency the peak occurs at, use a low
frequency sine wave generator and SPL (Sound
Pressure Level) meter to check the frequency and the
notch value.

Use this sub-menu to set the volume for each speaker so
that each volume is heard by the listener at the same
level. This is especially important for speaker layouts
where the left and right speakers are at different distances
or in asymmetrical positions due to room designs and
configurations. These settings and the distance settings
performed in the Speaker Distance sub-menu are vital for
creating proper sound space and dynamics. The settings
in the Level Calibration sub-menu can be configured for
both “Main A” and “Main B.”
