How do I manage the Audio Settings on my Alpha iQ Speakers?

Updated

You can modify the audio output of the Alpha iQ Speakers by adjusting the audio settings in the BluOS Controller App.

To manage the audio output settings of the Alpha iQ Speakers, perform the following steps:

  1. In the BluOS Controller App, select the Player Drawer. The list of players connected to the BluOS Controller App is displayed.
  2. Select the Alpha iQ Speakers’ context menu (3 dots) and select Audio Settings to display the menu options.

Note: Upgrade the BluOS firmware of the Alpha iQ Speakers to get the latest Audio Settings menu options available for the Speakers.

 

AUDIO SETTING DESCRIPTION
Balance Adjust to balance audio volume on the left and right channels.
Bass Adjust the Bass output levels of the Speakers.
Crossover Adjust the crossover between 40Hz and 200Hz – by default, set to 80Hz. When the Subwoofer option is enabled, everything above the crossover is filtered out and sent to the Speakers. The Speaker sends anything below the set crossover out of the Subwoofer (SUB OUT).
Replay-gain

Select any of the following to configure consistent volume levels between tracks in the play queue:

  • Track gain– To use the track gain value from the song's metadata to have the current track's volume be more consistent with other tracks.
  • Album gain – To use the album gain value from the metadata to provide a consistent volume level between all audio tracks on a particular album.
  • Smart gain– To allow the BluOS to automatically choose between track gain and album gain values to provide the best replay gain option for your current listening.

BluOS uses the metadata of the selected audio track to configure consistent volume levels between tracks.
Reset All Restore the audio settings of the Speakers to the default factory settings.
Subwoofer

Select any of the following to configure the Subwoofer setting:

  • ON – Apply a high pass filter to the Speakers based on the crossover set.
  • OFF – Send full range out of the Speakers.
    Note that the SUB OUT output will not be affected by this.
Tone Controls

Enable to adjust the Speaker's Treble and Bass output levels.

Note: When enabled, the total volume of the Speakers is reduced by 6 dB to allow adjustment of the bass and treble outputs from -6 dB to 6 dB.
Treble Adjust the treble output levels of the Speakers.
Volume limits Set the upper and lower limit of volume controls in the BluOS Controller App. Modifying the Speakers' upper or lower volume limits allows more fidelity when adjusting the volume.
