EXAMPLE: Adding a psycho-acoustic 3 kHz dip
Background: The idea behind the 3 kHz dip originates from the human
auditory system and diffuse field characteristics. The human hearing is less
sensitive to diffuse fields in the neighborhood of 3 kHz. Because of a flat
microphone response, many recordings have too much energy around the
3 kHz region, compared to the original listening situation (e.g. in a concert
hall). A cutting PEQ at 3 kHz can be introduced to compensate. Whether or
not this is beneficial is left to be judged by the user. This example shows
how to create the cutting PEQ (or any other parametric equalizer).
How to do it step-by-step:
➢ Open the menu display by pressing the MENU button
➢ Navigate to the “Settings” menu using the arrow buttons and press OK
to select it
➢ In the settings menu, select the “Parametric EQ” using the arrow
buttons. (The second element on the lower row.) Press OK to proceed.
The Parametric EQ filter list appears.
➢ First you need to assign a filter slot for the filter. If there are no
previously designed Parametric EQ filters, the first slot is automatically
selected and you only need to press OK to proceed to the PEQ designer.
➢ At the filter overview, open the “EDIT” submenu by pressing the blue-
coded button on the remote controller.
➢ Adjust the center frequency to 3000Hz by pressing the arrow buttons.
(You can press and hold the buttons to adjust faster.)
➢ Press the orange-coded button to activate the bandwidth adjustment.
Using the arrow keys set the bandwidth to about 1000 Hz.
➢ Press the green-coded button to adjust the filter gain. Using UP/DOWN
for +/- 0.1dB adjustments and LEFT/RIGHT for +/- 0.5dB, set the gain to
-4.2dB.
➢ The custom equalizer is now ready. Save it by pressing OK twice. You are
returned to the filter list. The designed filter gets enabled when you go
back to the settings menu by pressing the BACK button.
➢ Now you can try out how the psycho-acoustic dip works for you. You can
also fine-tune the parameters and try to find out if there is a setting that
suits your ears the best.
