➢Make sure either analo or di ital output is connected to powered speakers or
subwoofers. If the analo output is used, a test tone should now be audible.
➢If needed, press the UTPUT button on the remote to chan e to di ital output.
Please consider the warnin below prior to doin so.
WARNING: In order to preserve the dynamic ran e, di ital output
si nal is never scaled. Consequently, the di ital output level is
always at 0 dB (i.e. maximum.) When usin the S/PDIF output,
please be sure to adjust your amplifier's volume controls to a
moderate level in order to avoid dama in your ears and/or your
audio equipment!
➢Use the arrow buttons or the V L+ and V L- buttons to adjust the calibration
volume (analo output only).
➢The field at the lower part of the screen displays ”Volume OK” when Anti-Mode
detects a sufficient volume level for a reliable calibration.
➢If you can't hear the test tone (hissin noise), please make sure the output is
connected and the amplifiers or powered speakers are functionin properly.
➢The provided volume indication is a recommendation. Sometimes even lower volume
level may be sufficient for a decently accurate measurement.
➢When you are ready to start the calibration process, press the K button to proceed.
F R BEST RESULTS: When calibratin a subwoofer system: 0.2
Stereo, 0.2 Dual-Mono, or a sin le subwoofer, make sure that the
built-in lowpass filters of the subwoofer(s) are bypassed or set to
the hi hest cutoff frequency. You can restore the settin after
calibration or use Dual Core's Lowpass Filter Tool.
➢Dependin on confi uration, the calibration procedure may start with a speaker
distance detection. If the distance detection is successful, room acoustic analysis
be ins immediately after it.
➢Durin the acoustical analysis phase, Anti-Mode enerates several frequency
sweeps. After the first sweep, the initial room response raph is shown in red.
➢It is normal that the analysis phase lasts several minutes.
Rev. 0.93 2012-06-08 Pa e 8 (28)

ANTI-M DE 2.0 DUALCRE
OWNER'S MANUAL
➢You can cancel the calibration process at any time by pressin the BACK button. This
will revert the room correction parameters back to their previous calibration state.
(However, possible new speaker delay values from the distance detection step stay in
effect. Please note that this behavior may chan e in a future firmware revision.)
➢Once the analysis phase is finished, the corrected room response is shown in black.
The limit of the automatically corrected ran e is displayed with the vertival dashed
bar. Press the K button to dismiss the screen. (Both the before and after raphs can be
viewed later in the Room Response menu accessible from the Main menu.)
➢Con ratulations! Your system is now optimized for the most accurate sound. Press
the MENU button (or the BACK button) to return from the main menu to the home
screen.
PLEASE N TE: After Anti-Mode ets rid of the room resonances, it
may appear the result sounds ood but is lackin some bass. One
possible reason for this is that the listener has rown used to the
exa erated bass response previously caused by room
resonances. If you feel that you need to increase the overall bass
level, you can do this usin the house curve tool or desi nin a
custom EQ to lift the low-frequency band.

PLEASE N TE: Any chan es made in the various EQ editors are
enerally not updated in real-time. In order to hear the difference
in the sound output, accept the chan es and close the
correspondin editor by pressin K on the remote controller.
4.1 House Curve Tool
The House curve tool provides a quick method of chan in the tar et curve of the
bass response. The motivation behind a house curve is in the sensitivity of the human
auditory system and the hearin threshold – in addition to personal preference, of
course. When sound pressure level is low enou h, we are no lon er able to hear the
lowest bass frequencies.
It is easy to add a boostin equalizer to the lower bass re ion usin the house curve
tool.
WARNING: As with any low-frequency boostin EQ, employin an
en a in house curve must be done with caution. Excessive low
frequency liftin may introduce clippin of the amplifier or even
cause dama e to the woofer. Add house curve boostin in small
increments at a time.
The parameters of the House Curve tool are:
✔Tilt: Defines the frequency ran e of the low
frequency boost (the effect is illustrated on the
screen). Adjust usin the LEFT/RIGHT buttons or
the blue-coded button.
✔Lift: Defines the maximum boost in decibels (the
effect is illustrated on the screen). Adjust usin the
UP/D WN buttons or the orange-coded button.
✔Enabled: Enables or disables the applied house
curve. To le with the green-coded button.
Please note that modifyin the parameter values will automatically enable this
equalizer. Press the green button (followed by K) to disable it a ain.

the screen.
➢Usin UP and D WN arrow buttons, set Lift to 3.
➢Once ready press K to apply the new house curve
4.2 Tilt Curve Tool
The Tilt curve tool provides a quick method of chan in the overall frequency
response slope of the treble. The motivation behind a tilt curve is (alon personal
preference) to compensate differences in various recordin s. One can, for example,
make a profile with treble tilted down to tame too “bri ht“ recordin s.
The parameters of the tilt curve are:
✔Freq: The transition frequency of the effect
(illustrated on the screen). Adjust usin
LEFT/RIGHT arrow buttons or the blue-coded
button.
✔Gain: Attenuation (ne ative values) or emphasis
(positive values) of the selected band. Adjust usin
UP/D WN arrow buttons or the orange-coded
button.
✔Enabled: Enables or disables the applied tilt curve.
Please note that modifyin the parameter values will automatically enable this
effect. Press the green button (followed by K) to disable it a ain.

Back round: Some recordin s seem too bri ht or 'toppy' in their
tonal balance. To compensate this the hi h frequencies can be
toned down usin a subtle hi h frequency attenuation filter.
How to do it step-by-step:
➢Open main menu by pressin the MENU button.
➢Navi ate to the Settings menu usin the arrow buttons and press K to
select it.
➢Select the Tilt Curve usin the arrow buttons a ain (the first element

➢Use the UP/D WN buttons to set attenuation to -3dB. You can see the
approximated frequency response of the filter on the screen.
➢To save the filter, press K.
At any time, you can disable the tilt curve by openin the Tilt Curve tool
a ain and pressin the green-coded button to disable the effect,
followed by K to apply the chan es.
4.3 Infrasonic Filter
The Infrasonic filter tool is a quick way to apply a subsonic hi hpass filter that filters
out the si nals below the audible band. The motivation behind an Infrasonic filter is to
protect the woofer cones and to eliminate the effect of infrasonic harmonics and/or
inter-modulation distortion. It is recommended to use an infrasonic filter whenever
excessive house curve or low frequency boostin parametric equalizers are applied.
The controls of the infrasonic filter are:
✔Frequency: The frequencies below this threshold are attenuated.
✔Enabled: Enables or disables the infrasonic filter.
Use the directional buttons on the remote controller to chan e the parameters. Press
the K button to store settin s or the BACK button to cancel.
Note: You can also desi n a custom infrasonic filter with the Lowpass/Hi hpass tool,
which ives more control over the parameters (see Hi h/Lowpass filters section
below.)

OWNER'S MANUAL
4.4 High/Lowpass filters
The Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core features fully customizable hi hpass and lowpass filters.
These filters can be used to control the pass-band of the speaker or subwoofer. For
example, with a custom lowpass, it is easy to implement a more precise di ital cross-
over filter for a subwoofer. A custom hi hpass filter can be used to attenuate lower
frequencies and thus prevent them from reachin the main speakers.
To desi n a custom lowpass or hi hpass filter, navi ate into the Highpass lowpass
section of the Settings menu. Note that you can desi n two independent filters by
selectin a different filter slot (use the LEFT/RIGHT arrow buttons to hi hli ht a slot
and press the K button to accept).
This allows you to desi n extremely steep lowpass or hi hpass filters, for example
duplicatin a maximally steep filter results in 48 dB / octave slope.
The controls of the hi h/lowpass filter tool are:
✔Frequency: the cut-off frequency of the filter, at which point the si nal is attenuated
exactly 6 dB. Activate with the blue-coded button, adjust with the LEFT/RIGHT arrow
buttons (coarse) and UP/D WN (fine).
✔Slope: the steepness of the filter (6, 12, 18 or 24 dB / octave). Cycle with the
orange-coded button.
✔Settings: open the settin s submenu.
Settin s submenu:
✔Type: selects the filter type: hi hpass or lowpass. Use the arrow buttons to to le
the selection.
✔n/off: enables or disables the filter. Use the arrow buttons to to le value.
4.5 Custom Parametric Equalizers
The Custom Parametric Equalizers (PEQs) are very versatile filter structures that can
implement a wide ran e of different bandstop, bandpass, hi hpass and lowpass filters.
All user-defined parametric EQs are or anized in 16 filter slots. The first step of the
Parametric EQ tool is the filter list screen. Use the arrow buttons to hi hli ht an
inactive filter to create a new custom filter, or select an existin filter to chan e its
parameters, then press the K button to accept the selection. Note that there are

more slots than the 6 visible ones, just scroll down with the D WN button. Active
filters are represented with reen boxes in the filter list, inactive filters are rayed out.
The filter name (such as EQ01 S) ives eneral information about the desi ned filter.
The number after the EQ refers to the number of the filter slot (ran in from 01 to 16).
The arrow points either up or down to indicate its type. A filter indicated by an up
arrow has heavier impact on CPU usa e. The last letter indicates whether the filter is
stereo (“S”), left channel only (“L”) or ri ht channel only (“R”).
After selectin a filter to edit, the filter overview screen appears. An approximated
response of the filter is displayed. The followin actions are available:
✔Edit: activates the edit mode (see below).
✔Filter name: the filter slot of the current PEQ.
✔Settings: Opens the settin s submenu.
Edit mode controls are:
✔Center Frequency: the frequency at which the filterin effect is applied. Adjust with
LEFT/RIGHT arrow buttons (coarse) and UP/D WN buttons (fine)
✔Bandwidth: approximately the 3 dB bandwidth of the effective band. This is
basically equal to settin the Q value of the filter, but for simplicity user can adjust the
bandwidth instead of the Q-value. (Q-value = Fc / Bw). Adjust with LEFT/RIGHT arrow
buttons (coarse) and UP/D WN buttons (fine).
✔Gain: filter ain in decibels. The value is ne ative for a cuttin PEQ (bandstop) and
positive for a boostin (peakin ) PEQ.
Press the K button (or the BACK button) to return to filter overview.
Options in the settin s submenu:
•Channel: Defines the channel this filter is associated with (left, ri ht or both).
•n/off: Enables or disables the desi ned filter.
Press the K button (or the BACK button) to return to filter overview.
Press the K button to accept any chan es, close overview and return to the filter list.
Use the BACK button to discard any chan es made. Please note that any new filters
or edits will not affect the sound audibly until the filter list is closed.

EXAMPLE: Addin a psycho-acoustic 3 kHz dip
Background: The idea behind makin a 3 kHz dip ori inates from the
human auditory system and diffuse field characteristics. The human
hearin is less sensitive to diffuse fields in the nei hborhood of 3 kHz.
Because of a flat microphone response, compared to the ori inal listenin
situation for example in a concert hall, many recordin s have too much
ener y around 3 kHz. A cuttin PEQ at 3 kHz can be introduced to
compensate. Whether or not this is beneficial is left to be jud ed by the
user. This example shows how to create the cuttin PEQ or any other
parametric equalizer.
How to do it step-by-step:
➢Open the menu display by pressin the MENU button
➢Navi ate to the “Settin s” menu usin the arrow buttons and press K to
select it
➢In the settin s menu, select the “Parametric EQ” usin the arrow buttons.
(The second element on the lower row.) Press K to proceed. The
Parametric EQ filter list appears.
➢First you need to assi n a filter slot for the filter. If there are no previously
desi ned Parametric EQ filters, the first slot is automatically selected and
you only need to press K to proceed to the PEQ desi ner.
➢At the filter overview, open the “EDIT” submenu by pressin the blue-
coded button on the remote controller.
➢Adjust the center frequency to 3000Hz by pressin the arrow buttons.
(You can press and hold the buttons to adjust faster.)
➢Press the orange-coded button to activate the bandwidth adjustment.
Usin the arrow keys set the bandwidth to about 1000 Hz.
➢Press the green-coded button to adjust the filter ain. Usin UP/D WN
for +/- 0.1dB adjustments and LEFT/RIGHT for +/- 0.5dB, set the ain to
-4.2dB.
➢The custom equalizer is now ready. Save it by pressin K twice. You are
returned to the filter list. The desi ned filter ets enabled when you o
back to the settin s menu by pressin the BACK button.
➢Now you can try out how the psycho-acoustic dip works for you. You can
also fine-tune the parameters and try to find out if there is a settin that
suits your ears the best.

4.6 Digital Headroom (Advanced)
All internal di ital processin is performed with 32- or 40-bit accuracy with the
appropriate number of bits reserved for headroom. However, if emphasizin (raisin )
filters are used, some input si nals could cause saturation / clippin at the output. The
unit automatically calculates the best headroom settin from the ains of the active
filters. However, if you only use the analo input and do not use the full input ran e,
you can use a smaller headroom.
The headroom value is automatically re-calculated any time you chan e filter settin s.
4.7 Audio Settings
Analo input settin s can be confi ured from this menu.
Input sensitivity settin adjusts the maximum volta e level of the analo input.
Default value is low, which ensures maximum compatibility with different audio
sources. Use hi h sensitivity if you connect a device which follows the line-level
standard to ain a bit hi her volume level and better si nal-to-noise ratio.
Use manual channel balance adjustment to match the levels of the left and ri ht
speakers. Chan es in this dialo take effect immediately. Press the K button on the
remote to accept the new adjustment or press the BACK button to discard chan es.
Volume trim menu allows compensation of different volume levels between the di ital
and analo inputs. For example, if the di ital input is subjectively louder, adjust the
volume trim value towards the left side until the volume levels are equal. Chan es in
this dialo take effect immediately. Press the K button on the remote to accept the
new adjustment or press the BACK button to discard chan es.
Notice: channel balance settin is associated with the current sound profile. Input
sensitivity and volume trim are lobal settin s, i.e. the values are shared by all four
sound profiles.

Equivalently for other profiles, the namin starts with the profile name, for example
”b-after.txt” is the corrected response of the profile B (if it has been calibrated).
System update is also performed in “PC Link” mode. The system update requires
separate computer software which is currently available for Windows only. Visit

5.Using Sound Profiles
Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core supports up to four independent sound profiles. A sound
profile includes everythin that affects the sound: the room correction filters and all
possible custom filters (hi hpass/lowpass filters, house curve etc.) Also all room
measurements are stored in the profile.
Profiles can be utilized for various thin s. For example, you can calibrate up to four
different listenin spots usin a profile for each location and switch between the spots
quickly and conveniently. Or, you can create separate equalizer presets for music
listenin and movie watchin etc. Sound profiles can also be of assistance when
comparin the effects of different custom filters.
Initially, only one profile (A) is available. To create another, navi ate to the Sound
Profile dialo located in the Main Menu.
Select this icon to create a new profile. The newly created profile will
be identical to the currently active profile. The new profile will
populate the first empty slot available. If all four profiles are in use,
one of them must be deleted before a new profile can be created.
Select this icon to delete the currently active profile. Please note that
profile A cannot be deleted even if other profiles would still exist.
After the new profile has been created, you can chan e its characteristics by startin
the room calibration process or modifyin one or more settin s in the Settin s menu.
Note: if you wish to create an empty sound profile without inheritin any
characteristics, you can use Factory Reset located in the Settin s menu to clear the
newly created profile from all previous data.
