Parametric Equalizer - Omnia .9 Installation & User Manual

FM MENU EXPERT MODE

Parametric Equalizer

The Parametric Equalizer menu allows you to set up the 6-band phase-linear parametric equalizer, which is located just ahead
of the multiband section of the processing core. In addition, an assortment of pre-configured filters is available, including a
Low Pass Filter, a High Pass Filter, a Band Pass Filter, a Notch Filter, a Low Shelf EQ, and a High Shelf EQ.
The Bypass button removes the equalizer from the audio path.
♦
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.
Although changes made in the parametric equalizer section are offset somewhat by the action of the multiband compressors
that follow, this does not occur to the degree you might expect based upon your experience with other processors. The
parametric equalizer in Omnia.9 is a very versatile and powerful tool for creating your on-air sound. A visual representation of
the effects of the PEQ using the built-in real time analyzer can be seen in the RTA portion of the Display Settings section of this
manual.
