USING THE MS-8
Note for systems that include a center-channel speaker: Logic 7 processing steers
all mono information to the center channel. At rst, the sound may seem wrong if you're
not used to listening with the Logic 7 system. However, after listening for an extended
period, you’ll nd vocal and instrument placement with Logic 7 enabled and the center-
channel level in the center position to be natural sounding and consistent. If you listen to a
lot of news, sports or talk radio, you may want to attenuate the center channel – you can
even save a Favorite setting with such an adjustment. In any case, you can always set the
level of the center channel according to your preference.
Tone Control: This selection lets you adjust the system’s overall tone quality. The bass
control and treble control are shelving-type controls, with ±10dB of boost and cut at 20Hz
and 20kHz, respectively. The midrange control is a peak-and-dip type with a Q of 0.26 that
offers ±10dB of boost and cut at 650Hz. Use the Left and Right navigation buttons to vary
the levels.
Graphic EQ: The MS-8’s graphic equalizer is a sophisticated tone control that divides the
audio spectrum into 31 bands, each approximately a third of an octave wide. This format
allows you to ne-tune the system’s sound with extreme precision. Each band allows
±10dB of boost or cut at the band’s center frequency. We have designed the equalizer’s
circuitry to minimize destructive interaction between adjacent bands, giving you precise
control with superior sound quality.
