Sidechain Peq - Omnia .9 Installation & User Manual

FM MENU EXPERT MODE

Sidechain PEQ

The Input AGC features a fully-adjustable, 3-band Sidechain Parametric Equalizer, which allows you to make it more
♦
or less sensitive to particular frequencies. When the controls are not set to cut or boost any frequency, the Input AGC
reacts to the full audio spectrum. When set to cut or boost a particular range of frequencies, the Input AGC becomes less
sensitive (cut) or more sensitive (boost).
The Copy control places the settings into a "clipboard" so that they can be shared by using the Paste control.
♦
The Type drop down menu determines what type of EQ or filter is employed.
♦
The Frequency slider is used to set the center frequency for each band. The range of this control is 20 to 22,050Hz.
♦
The Width slider determines how much audio above and below the center frequency will also be affected by any boosts
♦
or cuts in gain. The range of this control is 0.0 to 10.0 octaves in one-tenth octave increments. Lower values provide a
narrower (sharper) boost or cut, while higher values provide a wider (gentler) boost or cut.
The Gain slider determines how much the audio selected with a combination of the Frequency and Width sliders is
♦
boosted or cut. Each band can be boosted or cut by 12dB in one-quarter dB increments for a total range of 24db per band.
Note:
You can see a visual representation of the sidechain EQ curve in a display window using Omnia.9's built-in
RTA by navigating to FM> Processing> Display Settings and choosing the Sidechain> AGC Sidechain option.
A full explanation of Display Settings is provided later in this chapter.
