STARTING POINTS
The Starting Points feature lets a user recall files that are saved channel settings. In previous versions of Compass, these files
were referred to as Saved Settings. The Starting Points files are created and tested by the factory and are included in the
Compass software installation. Additional files can be created and stored by users for later recall.
Factory Starting Points files include two types of settings:
• Line Arrays:
U-Shaping filters are set to adjust the frequency response to a usable result. The response will be close to equal magni-
tude (flat) for arrays that are 6–8 elements.
There are several options for each model, based on the total splay angle between groups of loudspeakers, starting at the
top of the array. Select the Standard option to start. There are angles referred to in the file names, such as 1.5 to 5,
which refer to the total splay angle between groups of four loudspeakers.
• Gradient Subwoofer Arrays:
Gradient subwoofer arrays are assembled using groups of elements: forward-facing with rear-facing between them. The
Front-Facing selection for most models does not alter the signal processing. The Rear-Facing selection usually inverts
the polarity relative to the Front-Facing setting. Delay is also applied to synchronize the output of the rear-facing element
with the output of the front-facing elements behind the array.
NOTE:
The Starting Points drop-down is populated from the files stored in both of the locations below. The
first location is a collection of all files that have been stored on the client computer. The second location
contains the current files distributed with Compass. Additional user created files can be created and stored in
either location.
NOTE:
The software version number on a particular system may differ from what is shown below, but the
format of the link will be similar.
