Template:FAQ:Exakt Surround

Q1: The Klimax Exaktbox has 6 outputs, can I use each output to drive a loudspeaker in my 5.1 surround system?

A1: No, the Exaktboxes are designed with the processor resources,(Exakt Engine), for one or two loudspeaker digital crossovers. Adding more loudspeakers channels and delays will not make the best use of the resources.

Q2: I have an exclamation mark icon (!) on my DSM display. What does this mean?

A2: Your DSM has not detected all the speakers that were originally configured for surround. Open Konfig, select your DSM then the Exakt tab to see which speakers have been detected.
If you have removed a speaker from your system (e.g. a centre channel), you may need to temporarily change channel assignment of another speaker. When you return this to its original value, Konfig will allow you to save the new surround configuration.

Q3: Do my front left/right speakers always have to be Exakt speakers?

A3: No you can configure the analogue outputs of you Majik/Akurate/Klimax DSM to feed the front left/right and the Exaktbox/Exakt speakers for any other channels. However this will not be the best Musical option as the passive speaker will never sound as good as the fully Exakt'ed speakers.
