Factory Presets

FACTORY PRESETS

The factory presets in the DSPXtreme are not supposed to be de facto standards by any means but are start-

ing points for you to create your own user presets. It is impossible to create presets that will suit every format

and market. What is right for one market is not usually right for another. The staff at BW will be able to help you

refine your sound further if none of the factory presets meet your requirement.

Beta contains the following factory presets.

PRESETS. These presets are optimised for FM use and most rely on reasonably high settings of the

‘HF CLIPPING’ control to maintain brightness through HF distortion controlled clipping. The look-ahead shelf con-

trol is usually set to lower numbers to compensate for the high level of HF introduced by pre-emphasis. This pre-

vents the DR outputs from sounding too bright when the processor is being used in a dual processing capacity.

If you are using the DSPXtreme for just HD/DAB, streaming or another digital medium that does not

employ pre-emphasis like analogue FM and want to use one of these presets then we recommend setting the

pre and de-emphasis parameters to OFF, lowering the HF clipping control and increasing the look-ahead shelf

parameter closer to 0dB. The look-ahead shelf parameter adjustment assumes you will be using the DR mode

on whichever output you choose to use, analogue or digital.

F1 BYPASS

This preset force gates the AGC’s setting them to unity gain. The limiter and clipper thresholds are raised

and drives are appropriately set so that the peak input to the DSPXtreme matches the peak output of the

DSPXtreme.

F2 80's

Intended for those ever-popular 80's tunes that were recorded back when record loudness was not the ulti-

mate goal and records still had some dynamic range. Smooth multi-band equalization and tasteful final limit-

ing for a consistent yet unfatuating sound.

F3 AC

A nice balance for Adult Contemporary formats where ultimate loudness is not everything, but quality sound

is.

F4 CHR

This preset provides a good starting point for current and popular music formats.

F5 CHR HOT

Same as above, but for more competitive markets.

F6 LOUD!

If you need to be big and loud, this is the preset for you.

F7 EASY LISTENIN'

Smooth and light processing for easy listening...

F8 LOW BASS

Urban, dance and all other formats can benefit from the nice and warm low-end provided here.

F9 POP

Leaning a bit towards bright and agressive, this preset provides a good starting point for pop music.

F10 R'N'R

Nice EQ of bass and HF for solid Rock'n'Roll sound!
