Legacy DSP Wavelaunch Processor Owner's Manual

The high definition Digital Wavelaunch Processor hosts a LEGACY
custom algorithm which automatically loads when the processor is
powered on. Factory settings are ‘plug and play’ and do not require
a computer to utilize. Connections between the preamp, power
amplifier, and speakers/subwoofer can be found with your
speakers/subwoofer.

Powering on

Attach the included IEC power cable to the rear of the unit, and
flip the rear power switch by pushing I. The front panel will load
and display the name of the currently selected algorithm next to
Scene.

It is okay to leave the Wavelaunch processor on 24/7 as it draws
minimal power.

Volume Adjustment

The data wheel can be turned left/right to increase/decrease the
value of the flashing parameter on the screen. Pressing the data
wheel in will enter the value and move the cursor to the next
parameter.

Making EQ Adjustments

Wavelaunch provides parametric EQ options to further adjust
Legacy speakers/subwoofers. Here’s how to adjust the EQ of the left
Aeris XD speaker:

Press the PEQ button located at the left of the front
panel.
Note the input channels A-D, with A corresponding to the left
signal and B to the right signal from your preamplifier/surround
processor.

Press input A button.
Rotate the rotary dial left/right to the desired setting. Press
the dial in to progress to the next setting.

Repeat steps for input B if applying adjustments to the right
Aeris XD speaker.
Press the data wheel again to exit once adjustments are
done.

Connections

A connections assignment printout is included with your
speaker/subwoofer to assist you in getting started.

Wavelaunch Accessories

Included in the Wavelaunch processor carton packaging is the IEC
power cable.

FAQ

Q: Can I adjust EQ settings for individual
speakers/subwoofers?

A: Yes, the Wavelaunch processor allows you to make parametric
EQ adjustments for each speaker/subwoofer individually. Follow the

Quick Setup
The high definition Digital Wavelaunch Processor hosts a LEGACY custom algorithm which automatically loads when the processor is powered on. Factory settings are `plug and play’, and do not require a computer to utilize. Connections between the preamp, power amplifier, and speakers/subwoofer can be found with your speakers/subwoofer.
Powering on
Attach the included IEC power cable to the rear of the unit, and flip the rear power switch by pushing I. The front panel will load and display the name of the currently selected algorithm next to “Scene”.
It is ok to leave the Wavelaunch processor on 24/7 as it draws minimal power.
Increasing/Decreasing the Volume of Legacy Audio Speakers/Subwoofers
The data wheel can be turned left/right to increase/decrease the value of the flashing parameter on the screen. Pressing the data wheel in will enter the value and move the cursor to the next parameter.
Let’s use the Legacy Aeris XD for this example, and let’s assume you would like to increase the volume (gain) of the Aeris bass section.
1. Press the “Gain” button located at the left of the front panel. 2. Please note the 8 output channels at the far right of the front panel, labeled 1-8. Output channel 1 corresponds to the left Aeris active bass channel, and output channel 5 corresponds to the right Aeris active bass channel. Output 2 corresponds to the left Aeris upper section and Output 6 corresponds to the right Aeris upper section powered by your stereo amplifier. 3. Press the output “1” button. 4. The screen will update and you will see a dB gain level- please rotate the rotary dial to the right to increase the volume level of the left bass section. Once the desired bass output on the left side is achieved, you can press the output “5” button and increase the volume level of the right bass section to the desired level. 5. Once you are done with adjustments, you can press the data wheel again to exit.

Making EQ Adjustments Wavelaunch provides the user with parametric EQ options to further adjust your Legacy speakers/subwoofers. Let’s use the Legacy Aeris XD for this example. Here’s how to adjust the EQ of the left Aeris XD speaker.
1. Press the “PEQ” button located at the left of the front panel. 2. Please note the 4 input channels at the right of the front panel, labeled A-D. Input channel A corresponds to the left signal, and
channel B corresponds to the right signal from your preamplifier/surround processor. 3. Press the input “A” button. 4. The screen will update and you can rotate the rotary dial left/right to the desired setting. You can press the dial in to progress to
the next setting. 5. Repeat these steps for input “B” if you would like to apply the same PEQ adjustments to the right Aeris XD speaker. 6. Once you are done with adjustments, you can press the data wheel again to exit.

Connections
A connections assignment printout is also included with your speaker/subwoofer to assist you in getting started.
Wavelaunch Processor Inputs Labeled A, B, C, D Typical speaker Assignments are A left signal, B right signal Please consult your speakers/subwoofers diagram for specific connections. Wavelaunch Processor Outputs Labeled, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Typical speaker assignments are outputs 1-4 left signal, and outputs 5-8 right signal. For example, Aeris XD assignments Output channel 1 corresponds to the left Aeris active bass channel, and output channel 5 corresponds to the right Aeris active bass channel. Output 2 corresponds to the left Aeris upper section and Output 6 corresponds to the right Aeris upper sections, powered by your stereo amplifier.

FAQ
What are the differences between the included Legacy Wavelaunch processor and the upgrade Legacy Wavelet 2 processor? There are quite a few technical differences between the two. The Wavelet 2 processes at 64 bits, and has a more advanced correction algorithm. Most importantly, the Wavelet 2 also corrects in the time domain, while the Wavelaunch is largely correcting only in the frequency domain. Additionally, Wavelet 2 can also be used as a preamplifier (the preamp can be bypassed), and includes its own microphone to automatically run room correction and adjust for the room. Wavelet 2 also features a high-end DAC, capable of up to 32 bit 384kHz audio, in addition to accommodating 4 other analog stereo sources and 4 digital inputs. Finally, Wavelet 2 is also easier to control, wirelessly from any iPad/iPhone/Android or computer. For full information, please see more, here.
