The LS1 Remote software is designed to control all settings of the LS1 via the LS1i USB interface.

You will use it during rst setup of the LS1 system and whenever you like to make changes to

the setup. Additionally it works as a fully functional remote control of the LS1's main parameters,

such as volume and source selection. You can use it in stead of or next to an LS1r Controller.

Please download the LS1 Remote software for your mac, windows or linux PC from http://www.

grimmaudio.com/info/downloads/ and install the software following your standard procedure. To

keep your system up to date, please enable the option ’Check for update on startup‘ in the Tools

menu of the LS1 remote software.

Let s have a look at the functions of the remote software one by one, starting at the top:

( -> for hi use, please make sure to deselect the option ’Advanced Studio Monitor Controls‘ from the ’Tools‘

menu. The display will then look like in the picture)

1. These buttons let you select an input source.

2. Here the current volume setting is displayed numerically. If you have a LS1r Controller in the

system, its display will show the same level.

3. Below the volume setting you nd an indication of the current status: whether the LS1 remote

software has established a connection to your LS1 loudspeakers or not. In case the display shows

the text ’ofine‘, the speakers are not turned on or some part of the wiring is not in place, such

as the loopback connector.

4. This is the volume dial that you can use to set your preferred listening level. You may also use

the up and down arrows of your keyboard to increase or decrease the volume in small steps or

the page up and down arrows for large ones. If available you can use the scroll wheel of your

mouse to adjust the volume, when hovering above the volume dial.

5. The Mute button mutes the incoming signal. Pressing the button again deactivates the mute

function. You may also use the space bar of the keyboard to mute or un-mute the LS1.

6. The Settings button offers access to the LS1 preference window.

7. A click on the EQ button opens the EQ tab of the preference window. The button also indicates

whether the EQ of the LS1 is set to at or not. If the EQ is not at, the system is adjusted to

taste and may not be linear anymore. In this case EQ button looks like being ’on‘.
