EQ View

EQ View provides an intuitive interface to access, add, or adjust parametric EQ filters in a devices DSP. Similar to Calibration View, EQ View leverages the Groups Panel to insert EQ filters at various levels within the grouping hierarchy, with the possibilities ranging from all devices in the venue down to a single array. When connected and in-sync, the EQ changes made to the devices are in real-time, if the system is disconnected, the EQ changes will be sent to the devices once they are connected.

Filter Types

5 EQ filter types are available

Symbol	Filter Type
	High Pass
	Low Shelf
	Bell Filter
	High Shelf
	Low Pass

 

Apply EQ to Devices

To apply EQ to devices, expand the Groups Panel to expose System Groups or Arrays and select the desired group level to place or adjust an EQ filter. An EQ filter will affect all devices within the selected group. For example, a new filter at the array level will affect only the devices in that specific array and a new filter at the venue level will affect every device in the venue.

With a valid group selected, the workspace will change to display a frequency graph, any EQ filters that are active in the selected Group or any Parent Group above will visibly populate into the graph.

To add a new filter, drag and drop one of the five filter types from the top right into the EQ graph.

The filter gain and center frequency can be adjusted by clicking and dragging the filter to the desired location on the response graph, and filter Q can be adjusted by dragging the handles in or out from the filter apex.

Alternatively, filters can be adjusted manually in the parameter box below the response graph.

 

Adjusting or Deleting Existing EQ Filters

To adjust an existing EQ filter, begin by selecting the Group from the Grouping Panel that the filter resides in.

Select the EQ Block above the filter to adjust, the selected block will highlight blue.

Ifa filter is selected that is defined as part of a different group, the filter block will still be visible but will not be selectable. The tool-tip will display the appropriate Grouping Panel selection required for adjustment.

Once a filter has been properly selected, the filter can be adjusted via either method described above in Applying EQ to Devices
