AP F8.9 bit /
USER’S MANUAL
The AP F8.9 bit software provides an equalizer, that can be managed
from a maximum of 10 graphic control points which automatically place
a maximum of 10 parametric equalization points. The quantity of graphic
control points used doesn’t match the parametric poles quantity, which
is determined by the adapting software.
The equalizer works according to the functional groups and so
we have the following factory configuration:
- one equalizer for the Front Tweeter.
- one equalizer for the Front Mid
- one equalizer for the Front Woofer.
- one equalizer for the Rear.
To be able to change the parameters for the equalizer in order to set an equalization curve, just choose the channel
to equalize from the “Channel Map” menu, positioning the mouse over the point to be set, and shape the curve
using the left mouse button (green curve), or with the arrow keys “
” on the PC keyboard.
Remark: to select the frequency parametric pole in FINE mode,
use the PC keyboard keys “ + ” or “ + ”.
In order to vary the “Q” factor of the equalization point selected, just scroll using the mouse wheel featuring this
function or using the keys “
” and “ ” on the PC keyboard.
In order to delete the changes, just put the mouse over the point, select it with the left button and press CANC on
the PC keyboard.
The equalizer has specific functions that aid in calibration and make it easier.
Flat brings all the cursors back to the 0 dB position;
L/R Link, when active, applies the equalization curve to both the
right and left channel simultaneously.
EQ by Pass
, when active, lets you disable the equalizer to check its effect without losing its settings.
Filter
lets you display the electrical response subject to filtering (XOVER), by clicking on the box (red curve).
Filter + Eq
lets you display the electrical response subject to equalization, by clicking on the box (yellow curve).
Parametric poles parameters
this window is active when the user wants to adjust a parametric pole.
The following parameters are listed:
- Fc: parametric pole operating frequency (F
min 20Hz ÷ Fmax 20KHz).
- G: parametric pole gain (G
min +12dB ÷ Gmax -12dB).
- Bw: bandwidth of the parametric pole applied (Bw
min 100Hz ÷ Bwmax 4800Hz).
To prevent the display of this window just press the ESC key from the PC keyboard.
7.3.12 PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER
12
Remark: In order to clearly display the set equalization curve, you can increase or decrease the vertical axis (dB)
and horizontal axis (Hz) by moving the cursors to the side of them. The default is set to +12 dB and 0-20 kHz.
