EXAMPLE
: Adding a psycho-acoustic 3 kHz dip
Background
: The idea behind making a 3 kHz dip originates from the
human auditory system and diffuse field characteristics. The human
hearing is less sensitive to diffuse fields in the neighborhood of 3 kHz.
Because of a flat microphone response, compared to the original listening
situation for example in a concert hall, many recordings have too much
energy around 3 kHz. A cutting PEQ at 3 kHz can be introduced to
compensate. Whether or not this is beneficial is left to be judged by the
user. This example shows how to create the cutting PEQ or any other
parametric equalizer.
How to do it step-by-step:
➢
Open the menu display by pressing the
MENU
button
➢
Navigate to the “Settings” menu using the arrow buttons and press
OK
to select it
➢
In the settings menu, select the “Parametric EQ” using the arrow
buttons. (The second element on the lower row.) Press
OK
to proceed.
The Parametric EQ filter list appears.
➢
First you need to assign a filter slot for the filter. If there are no
previously designed Parametric EQ filters, the first slot is automatically
selected and you only need to press
OK
to proceed to the PEQ designer.
➢
At the filter overview, open the “EDIT” submenu by pressing the
blue
-
coded button on the remote controller.
➢
Adjust the center frequency to 3000Hz by pressing the arrow buttons.
(You can press and hold the buttons to adjust faster.)
➢
Press the
orange
-coded button to activate the bandwidth adjustment.
Using the arrow keys set the bandwidth to about 1000 Hz.
➢
Press the
green
-coded button to adjust the filter gain. Using
UP
/
DOWN
for +/- 0.1dB adjustments and
LEFT
/
RIGHT
for +/- 0.5dB, set the gain to
-4.2dB.
➢
The custom equalizer is now ready. Save it by pressing
OK
twice. You are
returned to the filter list. The designed filter gets enabled when you go
back to the settings menu by pressing the
BACK
button.
➢
Now you can try out how the psycho-acoustic dip works for you. You can
also fine-tune the parameters and try to find out if there is a setting that
suits your ears the best.
