  • Page 30: The Effect Of Eq

    Setting Up The Verona The Verona was designed with real world sound engineers in mind, working in the real world. With it’s flexible routing and dual purpose functionality, the Verona is as happy running monitors as it is front of house. For engineers that haven’t got a great deal of experience in live sound engineering, here are a few helping guidelines.
  • Page 31: Dynamic Processing

    Unity gain is a gain of 1 (i.e. no gain or attenuation is applied to a signal). If a signal entered a mono line level input of the Verona at 0dBu and the gain was set to +15dB (an internal 15dB attenuation sets the net gain to 0dB), then the signal was routed to each output at 0dB, the channel fader was set to 0dB and each output fader was set to 0dB, the output should be 0dBu (or unity).

    The final links in the system tend to be graphical equalisers, loudspeaker processors and finally amplifiers and speakers. Graphical equalisers have the same problems as the Verona’s EQ. If excessive boost is applied to the signal, the graphic equaliser’s output may be overloaded. If, the output of the Verona is higher than the maximum input level of the graphic, the input of the graphic may be overloaded.
  • Page 33: Monitor Mode

    Routing The flexible routing of the Verona allows the console to operate as both a Front of House (FOH) and Monitor console, or as a combination of both. For operators that haven’t got a great deal of experience, here are a few helping guidelines.
