Welcome

Thank you for choosing a StormAudio Immersive

Sound Preamp/Processor. This guide provides step-

by-step instructions for quickly setting up your ISP to

meet a basic Theater conﬁguration.

The ISP range shares the same backbone, but models

differ by the options that are installed. This guide will

describe a basic setup valid for any version of the Im-

mersive Sound Processor.

We continuously strive to improve our products.

Some features might have thus been added or im-

proved recently. Please check our website: https://

www.stormaudio.com to get access to the Firmwares

and documentation, and keep your ISP up to date by

upgrading it to the latest available Firmware package.

By default a 2 channels theater is deﬁned. If it doesn’t

meet your need, delete it and create a new theater

following below steps:

1. Select Edit Theater 1.

2. When edited, select the Delete button. This will

remove deﬁnitely this Theater from the system.

3. You now can create a new Theater corresponding

to your room and speakers setup by selecting

Theater in the drop-down list and then Create.

4. Once created, you need to Conﬁgure it.

Note: you can deﬁne Theaters and additional Audio

Zones (2ch or mono). We will only cover Theaters conﬁ-

guration in this Guide. Please consult the Owner Ma-

nual for the other cases.

Create your Theater

Conﬁgure your Theater

When in the Theater Conﬁgurator, you will be able

to deﬁne each layer of the speaker installation: base,

height and top layers.

1. Choose using the left and right arrows which

layout you expect for the layer.

2. For each speaker, you can deﬁne whether full

bandwidth or multiway, with up to 4 ways deﬁ-

nable.

3. The Center channel can be turned to Phantom

mode, the signal being played in Left and Right

channels.

4. Top speakers can be deﬁned as Dolby Atmos En-

abled for the case up-ﬁring speakers are used. In

such case, select the base speaker location. Keep

«None» for normal down-ﬁring speakers.

5. For each speaker, you can deﬁne whether repli-

cation is required. It is often used for multiple

subwoofers use or multiple rows of surround

speakers.

6. Press Next to reach the next layer and follow

again steps 1 to 6 until all three layers are deﬁned.

7. At the end, a summary of the Speakers Conﬁgura-

tion is shown.

8. Save to exit and reach the Speakers edition page.

In this part, we will cover the conﬁguration of the

speakers in the installation following Main Speakers

tab selection. As systems might easily get compli-

cated, the Quick Guide will only focus on a basic use

case where full bandwidth passive speakers are used.

We will not treat the speciﬁc multi-ways speakers.

Also, we will consider multiple rows of surround spea-

kers as well as multiple subwoofers.

For the case you need a different conﬁguration, we

invite you to refer to the Owner Manual providing ac-

cess to all possible adjustments of the ISP.

5 - THEATER DEFINITION (1/2)

Adjust the Bass Management

Once conﬁgured, the Theater is presented in Edition

mode. In this Quick Guide we will only consider the

Standard Bass Management setup:

1. For each Theater, it is possible to deﬁne multiple

audio proﬁles (all Theater settings). By default, a

«New Proﬁle 1» is created.

2. Deﬁne the Size of each of your Speaker between

Small, Large and «Large and Sub». Small will ﬁl-

ter the low frequencies and direct them to the

Subwoofer. Large will maintain full bandwidth,

while «Large and Sub» will also direct the Bass to

the subwoofer channel.

3. When in Small, adjust the ﬁlter crossover frequen-

cy between speaker and subwoofer.

4. When in Small, adjust the slope between 12dB,

24dB, 36dB and 48 dB/octave (Linkwitz-Riley and

Butterworth types).

2 3

Adjust Levels and Delay

1. Select the Delay and Level tab.

2. Set the Distance/Delay of each of the installed

speakers (meter is the default unit, you can select

feet or ms).

Before proceeding to level adjustment, ensure the

Output Mapping matches your connections (see sec-

tion 6).

3. Select the Narrow Band pink noise signal and ac-

tivate the Noise Generator, having ﬁrst made sure

the Master Volume is not at a too high level, such

as < -30dB. Using the Group +/- button, navigate

through each Speaker. Use the normal Pink Noise

for the Subwoofer adjustment.

4. Adjust the Level for each Speaker using a SPL Me-

ter. We recommend to adjust the Levels with 75

to 85dB(C) average sound pressure as reference.

5. It is possible for each Speaker to adjust up to 20

Parametric EQs. Consult the Owner Manual for

more details.

6. Once adjusted, you can Save your Audio Proﬁle

7. Save the Theater to leave the Edit mode.

Dirac Live Calibration

1. Although an important feature of the ISP, we will

not cover the Dirac Live Calibration process in this

Quick Guide as not necessary to get a basic setup

working. Please refer to the Owner Manual, shall

you need to run through the Automated Calibra-

tion process of your ISP using Dirac Live.

5 - THEATER DEFINITION (2/2)

1. When the physical connections are different from

the default proposed mapping deﬁned during

the conﬁguration of section 5, you can access the

Output Mapping feature when in the Main Spea-

kers tab selecting Output Mapping button.

2. Change the channel assignment using the New

Output expected channel.

3. When completed save the changes to exit and go

back to Speakers page.

3 4 5 6

1. Deﬁnition of Presets is required for playback by

linking a Theater and an Audio Proﬁle and make it

accessible in the Remote Controls. To do so, select

the Presets tab.

2. Some Presets have been created by default while

conﬁguring your Theater. You can create more

Presets using the Create button or delete some.

3. You can change the Preset Name.

4. A Preset is visible and accessible in the Remote

Controls only if Active (Y) in the Presets page.

5. Select which Theater should be activated when

the Preset is selected.

6. Choose which Audio Proﬁle for the selected Thea-

ter needs to be playing. This will call up all the re-

lated audio adjustments.

Access the Web User Interface Remote Control (check

section 3, Home Page and select Remote Control) to

control the ISP from your Web Browser.
