2.
Adjust the equalizer settings to optimize speech intelligibility and minimize noise (such as low-frequency rumble caused
by HVAC systems).
3.
If equalizer settings cause a significant increase or decrease in levels, make any necessary level adjustments accord
ing to step 1.
When to Use the Channel and IntelliMix Gain Faders
There are 2 different gain faders that serve different purposes:
Channel Gain (Pre-Gate)
To adjust, go to Channels. These faders affect a channel's gain before it reaches the automixer and therefore affect the
automixer's gating decision. Boosting the gain here will make the lobe more sensitive to sound sources and more likely to
gate on. Lowering gain here makes the lobe less sensitive and less likely to gate on. If you're only using direct outputs for
each channel without the automixer, you only need to use these faders.
IntelliMix Gain (Post-Gate)
To adjust, go to Configuration > IntelliMix. These faders adjust a channel's gain after the lobe has gated on. Ad
justing the gain here will not affect the automixer's gating decision. Only use these faders to adjust the gain of a talker after
you are satisfied with the automixer's gating behavior.
Parametric Equalizer (PEQ)
Maximize audio quality by adjusting the frequency response with the parametric equalizer.
Common equalizer applications:
•
Improve speech intelligibility
•
Reduce noise from HVAC systems or video projectors
•
Reduce room irregularities
•
Adjust frequency response for reinforcement systems
To turn off all EQ filters, select Bypass all EQ.
If you're using Shure Designer software to configure your system, please check the Designer help section for more about this topic.
Setting Filter Parameters
Adjust filter settings by manipulating the icons in the frequency response graph, or by entering numeric values. Disable a filter
using the check-box next to the filter.
Filter Type
Only the first and last band have selectable filter types.
Parametric: Attenuates or boosts the signal within a customizable frequency range
Low Cut: Rolls off the audio signal below the selected frequency
Low Shelf: Attenuates or boosts the audio signal below the selected frequency
High Cut: Rolls off the audio signal above the selected frequency
High Shelf: Attenuates or boosts the audio signal above the selected frequency
Frequency
Select the center frequency of the filter to cut/boost
