enhancement of the system.
Each band has the following capabilities:
Amplitude changes up to + and – 15 dB, in 0.5 dB increments.
Filter Types for each band include:
Bell (parametric), with Q ranging from 0.4 to 128
Hi Shelf, with Q ranging from 0.1 to 5.1
Lo Shelf, with Q ranging from 0.1 to 5.1
Low Pass, with Q ranging from 0.1 to 5.1
High Pass, with Q ranging from 0.1 to 5.1
Notch Filter, with Q ranging from 4 to 104
All-Pass1, a 1
st
order all-pass filter, no Q adjust (it’s 1
st
order)
All-Pass2, a 2
nd
order all-pass filter, with Q ranging from 4 to 104
Each band has a Bypass button (
Byp
) at the bottom of the EQ strip, which turns off the EQ band
changes to make that band “flat”, then with another click, that EQ band action is turned back on.
There is a
Bypass
checkbox for overall bypass of the entire EQ section at once, which toggles the
EQ on and off. This is located at the top right-hand side of this section.
There is an
EQ
Flat
button for returning all the bands and settings to 0 dB, but this button does NOT
toggle,
if clicked, the EQ settings are lost, and you start over again
.
If you should accidently click this button, just re-load the most relevant Preset back into the VR 218
Sub system from the file folder, or from the on-board DSP memory.
Note it is strongly recommended that this section NOT be changed or altered by the end user. This is
the primary EQ for the woofers in the Versarray™ Pro 218 Sub system, and as such, altering it even
a little will not only degrade the crossover function and the acoustic mesh with the VR 112, but render
the available EASE Focus 3 and EASE modeling data incorrect.
CHANGING THESE SETTINGS FROM THE FACTORY SETTINGS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY!
Section 26
RMS Compressor
This section provides for adjusting the compression parameters of the woofer, and is used to control
the medium and long-term power to the woofer, so it will not be damaged due to thermal overdrive
over the long-term. Thus, the settings may seem odd, but they are there to protect the woofer, as the
woofer power amp has enough continuous power output capability to exceed the long-term thermal
capacity of the woofer.
Parameters
Thr
(Threshold), sets the threshold of the limiter action, with a range from 0 dBFS to -30 dBFS.
Factory Setting is - 5 dBFS.
Ratio
, sets the slope of the compression curve, ranges from 2:1 to 32:1.
Factory Setting is 32:1
Knee
, sets how sharp the compression curve engages relative to the Threshold point, ranges from
0% to 100%. Factory Setting is 0%.
Release
, sets the release time after compression has engaged, till the compression is no longer
engaged. Ranges from 100 milliseconds to 15000 ms. Factory Setting is 200 ms.
Attack
, sets how quickly the compression engages once the threshold point has been passed.
Ranges from 0.10 milliseconds to 2000 ms. Factory Setting is 100 ms.
Make-Up
(Make up gain), has a +/- 12 dB range, in 0.1 dB increments. Factory Setting is 0 dB.
There is a
Bypass
checkbox for overall bypass of the entire Compression section at once, which
toggles the Compression on and off. This is located at the top right-hand side of this section.
