Software Control Settings

To perform your initial LS1 setup, please have a look at the LS1 page. We will guide you through

all settings here. Most settings are stored in the LS1 and the remote as soon as you change

them. Only if you want an EQ preset to stay active when quiting the software you need to press a

’save in LS1‘ button.

System Setup - Please select whether you have installed a 2-way or 3-way LS1 system.

Remote Connection - Here you can indicate if the LS1 remote is connected to the left LS1 or the

right LS1. By doing so, you determine which speaker will be playing the left channel and which

speaker the right channel. Mark that digital audio cables, as used in the LS1, carry both the left

and right channel, so you need to tell each speaker which channel to use.

Attention: at the speakers‘ base, next to the connectors, there‘s a switch called ’Channel Switch‘ (Chnl) that

controls the left/right identity of the speaker when the software is not running. Please make sure the switch

is set correctly. More information can be found in the Hardware Control Settings chapter of this manual.

Phase Correction - The crossover of the LS1 is phase corrected, which means both the amplitude

and phase curve of the total response are linear. In other words: it means the magnitude and

timing of the reproduced music is independent of the frequency. This is a unique feature, not

possible with analog crossovers. The phase compensation introduces a small delay (or ’latency‘),

which is longer in the 3-way than in the 2-way system. In normal hi and professional use,

this delay is no problem and the preferred setting is ’Phase Correction - On‘. The delay can be

troublesome however (especially the longer delay of the 3-way system) in case you use the LS1

in the following cases:

- sound with pictures with an AV receiver that has no means to correct for the relative long

latency of the speakers;

- when using both 2-way and 3-way LS1's in one surround system;

- when LS1's are combined with other brand's speakers in a surround setup;

- when using the LS1 as a live monitor for an artist playing in the control room.

In case the latency cannot be compensated for elsewhere in your system, you can turn off the

phase correction and its associated latency in this pane.
