Software Control Settings

Dim amount - Here you can choose between a dim (temporarily attenuation) value of either

-10dB or -20dB. The Dim function is activated in the LS1 remote software main window or

(optionally) by pressing the volume knob of the remote.

Warning indication - This turns on a warning indication by blinking the power LEDs on the LS1

fronts. The indication is triggered when the excursion limiter or other safety systems like clip or

heat limiters set in and the LS1 system is not perfectly linear anymore. If the warning indication

is off, the actual limiters will still be active, but you will not be notied. It is very normal for

loud-speakers and ampliers to occasionally operate outside their linear range, so in normal use

the warning indication can be distracting and we advise to turn it off. However, when mastering

an album it can be informative to know that your monitor system is not completely linear at a

certain moment. In that case, turn the indication on.

Excursion limiter - You can use this limiter to protect your speakers from damage when using

them as a monitor during tracking or foldback monitoring of musicians that perform in the

control room. Instead of putting a simple limiter on the audio signal, we control the maximum

possible excursion of the driver. As long as the excursion limiter does not come into action (which

will be indicated by the blinking led) there is no audible effect of this protection circuit. For hi

or mastering we advise to turn off the excursion limiter. Signals of mastered music are rarely

powerful enough to harm loudspeakers.

Sim - Here you can choose the character of the Sim button in the main window. Either select the

simulated sound of a ported bass-reex or of a small bookshelf type speaker with a low-cut of

80Hz.
