OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - ENGLISH
– Room Size
With the "Room Size" parameter you can adjust the size of the virtual room / living room
and the distance to the virtual speakers, i.e. you decide how strong a small or large room
will change the sonic impression of audio material reproduced by loudspeakers. This will
mainly affect the sound pressure at the position of the listener and also the balance
between direct sound and reflections.
Please note that this parameter will directly affect the volume of the reproduced audio
material. The larger the room and the greater the distance of the loudspeakers will lower
the volume. With large distances you will probably have to compensate the low sound
pressure by increasing the volume in the "Volume" menu.
– Ambience
The "Ambience" parameter basically controls how much colouration your room should add
to your audio material - in other words: if you want the acoustics of your room to be "dry"
or really "wet". You should be aware of the fact that in reality the room sound has quite a
big influence on your spatial impression and also on the sound of your loudspeakers. For
this reason very low "Ambience" settings tend to be slightly unrealistic, because your
virtual room is turned into an anechoic chamber.
Note: Please note that the parameters for the room settings are interactive! For instance,
when setting the "Room Size" parameter to "0", the virtual speakers will be "nailed" to
your ears and you will obviously not hear any difference when adapting the "Ambience"
parameter of your room. Likewise, if you turn "Ambience" to "0" (which simulates an
anechoic chamber), high "Room Size" settings will influence the volume, but not the
reflections in your virtual living room, as there are no reflections in an anechoic chamber.
How to select the bypass mode
• If you would like to use the HBC 1 base station as a stereo headphone amplifier (bypass mode),
press the bypass button
Note: Although the surround processing is completely deactivated in the bypass mode, the
reproduced volume is still influenced by the "Room Size" and "Ambience" parameters,
because the volume could suddenly increase too much and damage your hearing when
switching between the "Processing" and "Bypass" mode. As the reproduced volume is linked
to the "Room Size" and "Ambience" parameters, the volume of the "Bypass" or "Processing"
mode is adapted accordingly.
• If the HBC 1 base station is to operate in the Headzone
