AP F8.9 bit /
USER’S MANUAL
By clicking on this item, a drop-down menu appears with the
entries shown in the image:
7.3.4 SETTINGS MAIN MENU
1. I/O Configuration Wizard: it sets up the system,
and puts AP F8.9 bit in the conditions needed to be able to
perform this operation
(see sec. 7.2).
5. Working Mode: the software can work in two modes, acting on the
crossover filter section.
Standard: simplified mode with some restrictions easing the use
of the software
(see sec. 7.3.10).
Expert: there are no restrictions in the software functions of use
(see sec. 7.3.10).
4. De-Equalizer: if activated (Enabled), this function enables the
de-equalization curve calculated during the Configuration
Wizard. If the function is deactivated (Disabled) no
source de-equalization curve is applied.
The Reset command deletes the de-equalization curve
calculated during the Configuration Wizard.
3. Limiter: by selecting “Enabled” the limiter of the AP F8.9
output signal will be activated. This function is essential to
prevent temporary clipping phenomena, that lead to the outputs
saturation. By selecting “disabled” the function will be deactivated.
By default the limiter id disabled.
WARNING: switching from one mode to another resets the configuration
of the filters to their original Default setting.
WARNING: whenever performing the I/O Configuration Wizard, the values
set in the Options menu (see sec. 7.3.4.7) are set to the default values.

6. Sensitivity: lets you display and adjust the sensitivity of AP F8.9 bit inputs.
To perform the sensitivity calibration, refer to sec. 7.2.6.
2. Controlled bass-boost: if enabled, through
this function you can operate on the
equalization of the sub channel and woofers.
By clicking on Settings you can choose
the parametric equalizer pole where you
can operate and vary the “Q” factor by
acting on the mouse wheel when available
or using the keys “ ” and “ “ on the
PC keyboard.
Remark: to select the frequency parametric pole in FINE mode,
use the PC keyboard keys “ + ” or “ + ”
When heavy equalization is set, the software will activate through soft clipping eliminating the subsequent
distortions. This function can also be enabled and disabled via DRC MP.
(see sec. 9.1).
