Tempo-Sync Tip: The formula for a quarter note delay is 60,000 ÷ BPM = milliseconds. For a dotted eighth (the classic Edge delay), multiply the quarter note value by 0.75. Always set your delay pedal ...

String tension is calculated as: T = UW × (2 × L × f)² where UW = unit weight per inch, L = scale length in inches, and f = frequency in Hz. Increasing gauge raises UW and thus tension at the same ...

Placement Tip: Always mark your Main Listening Position (MLP) first — all speaker angles and distances are calculated relative to your seated ear position. Dolby recommends placing your MLP at ...
