- Turn your amplifier/interface volume down first, then raise it gradually.
- Never stand close to a speaker while a sweep or test tone is playing.
- Sudden loud sounds can damage hearing and equipment. If something sounds wrong, stop the measurement (there is always a Stop button on screen).
About this guide
This guide is for owners of a Tantrum Audio Really Mean Sub using the Omnissiah desktop app to set up, measure and correct their system. You don't need to be an audio engineer. Every task is written as plain, numbered steps with a picture. Sections that go deeper are clearly marked Advanced (optional). You can skip them and still get a great result.
The app's name
The app is called Omnissiah. That's the name you'll see on its icon in your Applications folder and in the dock. Some in-app text and older documents call it “DSP Control”, but it's the same app. This guide uses Omnissiah throughout.
