Profiles

For each Theater, Sub-Theater, and zone, you
can save multiple profiles for different listening
preferences. Profiles can be recalled as part of
presets "Presets". A profile includes the following
information: Speaker definition (multi-way, levels,
delays), bass management, manual EQ, and Dirac
filter design if applied.
Some clients have different EQ profiles based on
the type of content they listen to e.g. movies vs.
music.

By default, one profile is created called New
Profile 1. You can rename this to something more
descriptive.
2. New
Click New to build a new profile from defaults.
3. Duplicate
Build a variation on a saved profile. This is
especially useful if you have a profile designed with

that duplicate.

one, you must SAVE your changes.
