    MENU & SETUP (Listed in order) Menu Function Name: Audio EQ Options within menu: Off, Natural, Normal, Pop Description: These three eq settings alter the output frequency response of the loudspeaker. Natural has a frequency/ level response as per the graph below. Normal is a set of filters designed to emulate the sound of the traditional analogue powered monitors.
  • Page 20 Pop is a set of filters that our software engineer developed that he liked while he was writing code for the Divine and listening to the unit 8 hours a day. You can tell from the extended HF response that our developer is not straight out of university! The frequency/ level output is as per the below graph.
  • Page 21 As such we have included Gain Boost, to increase the incoming signals by a set amount, to allow the full audio output of the Divine to be achieved. Compressor/ limiter circuits are built in so even when gain boost is on and input levels are high the audio output will be as good as possible.
