10THE OUTLAW’S GUIDE TO THE SMS-1
13. Turn the SMS-1’s volume up or down until the left side of the curve
matches up more or less with the right side (putting both at around
80dB). Don’t mind all the peaks and valleys for now. If you have
trouble with this, you may want to check on the volume setting on
the subwoofer’s amp and the subwoofer channel level at the receiver.
If you’re not sure where to set them, try around half-way on the sub’s
amp and 0dB (no trim up or down) in the receiver. Odds are that
you’ve calibrated the system before and the settings you already have
will be ne for our purposes.
14. We’re assuming that your receiver does some bass management
that has already been adjusted to suit your system, in which case
you don’t need the SMS-1 to do any more. (In light of the SMS-1’s
capabilities, we will go into detail later on optimizing your bass man-
agement.) Press the “select” button on the SMS-1 remote to go to
the next screen (the cursor should still be sitting on the word “Next”
at the top right of the screen; if it has moved, use the navigation keys
on the remote to move it back there). The test tone will go away and
you’ll see the System Settings screen. Use the navigation buttons
of the SMS-1’s remote to move the cursor down to the top left-hand
number: the crossover frequency for the preset “setup.” Once you’re
there, press “select” and “reset” to turn o the crossover; press
“select” again to accept the change. When that’s done, press “exit”
and use the “select” button to save your changes.
15. Now that you are back to the default screen, press “3-2-1” on the
remote. This will start the automatic EQ process. You’ll see “Self-EQ”
in the bottom right-hand corner of the SMS-1’s front panel display
and you’ll hear about 25 frequency sweeps. Try to keep fairly quiet
during this step (no yelling at the cat or tap dancing, please) so you
don’t confuse the microphone.
16. The next step… Well, actually that last step pretty much took care of
everything. You’ve got your SMS-1 connected, the crossover is dis
-
abled so it doesn’t interfere with the receiver’s crossover, and the self-
EQ has run. Unhook the microphone and put it, the mic cable, and
the stand back in the accessory box. I’d suggest you switch to your
DVD player or CD player to listen to the results, but you are supposed
to be going back to work now. You can listen when you get home.
17. Are you going to nish those chips?
INTERMISSION
“
Your editor (me) was feeling
left out, so they let me write an entry.
They gave me the intermission. I’m
still feeling left out.

Thanks for the chips. Our lunch hour was a bit exciting, wasn’t it? The
SMS-1 is now set up and ready to enjoy – except that we’ve only scratched
the surface of what it can do. You can leave it alone, but you might want
to nd some time to dig a bit deeper and unlock the unit’s full potential.
Some of you may even have found the will power to leave the SMS-1 in
the box so you could set it up later when you had more time, in which
case we’ll assume you skipped the quick start and are interested in nding
out all the details. In either case, read on to see just how much tweaking,
tinkering, and rening you can really do with the SMS-1, then clear a spot
in your calendar and let yourself hear what the SMS-1 is capable of when
it pulls out all the stops.
