Section 3
Processing & Parameters
EQs allow you to shape the tone of the audio signal. Sometimes these EQs are needed at various stages of the
signal path. The KAW has Output EQs for equalizing the overall sound system. The KAW provides 7 Band EQs
on the left, right and 5 Band EQs on the surround, center and subwoofer outputs.
EQ
The EQ algorithm contains the following parameters:

Gain (-24dB to +24dB) - Sets the level of the selected EQ band.

Q (0.7 to 99.9) - This parameter adjusts the width of the PEQ filter. Lower values, create wider EQ curves
(covering a wider range of frequencies) and higher values create narrower EQ curves (covering a much
smaller range of frequencies for more surgical EQ work). This parameter is only available in bands that are
set to the ‘PEQ’ type, as listed above.

Main EQ (7 Bands - 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz, 4KHz, 8KHz)

Surround EQ (5 Bands - 125Hz, 250Hz, 1KHz, 2.5KHz, 8KHz)

Center EQ (5 Bands - 125Hz, 250Hz, 1KHz, 2.5KHz, 8KHz)

Subwoofer EQ (5 Bands - 31Hz, 63Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz)

Filter Type (P “PEQ”, LS “Low shelf”, HS “High shelf”) - The Type selector allows you to select which type
of filter you would like to use on each band.
1. PEQ: Manipulates a set range of frequencies, out in both directions from the center frequency, with the
‘Q’ parameter determining the width.
2. LP shelf: Manipulates all frequencies below the set frequency.
3. HP shelf: Manipulates all frequencies above the set frequency.

Band Frequency (20 Hz to 20K Hz) - Selects the center frequency, for each band, at which the EQ gain or
attenuation will be applied.
1. PEQ Frequency Range: 20 Hz to 20K Hz.
2. Low Shelf Frequency Range: 20 Hz to 20K Hz.
3. High Shelf Frequency Range: 20 Hz to 20K Hz.

EQ Bypass - This option when turned on will set all the EQs for that output off like it is flat.

EQ Reset - Resets the EQ
Output (Main & Surround)

L ch Vol (OFF, -37dB to +12dB) - Sets the left channel volume.

R ch Vol (OFF, -37dB to +12dB) - Sets the right channel volume.

L Delay (0ms/0.0m to 50ms/17.0m) - This parameter sets how much delay will be applied to the left channel
output.

R Delay (0ms/0.0m to 50ms/17.0m) - This parameter sets how much delay will be applied to the right
channel output.

Lch Mute - This parameter mutes the left channel.

Rch Mute - This parameter mutes the right channel.
Output (Center)

Output Vol (OFF, -37dB to +12dB) - This parameter sets the center channel volume.

Output Delay (0ms/0.0m to 50ms/17.0m) - This parameter sets how much delay will be applied to the center
output.

Mute - This parameter mutes the center channel.
Output (Subwoofer)

Ouput Vol (OFF, -37dB to +12dB) - This parameter sets the subwoofer volume.

Output Delay (0ms/0.0m to 50ms/17.0m) - This parameter sets how much delay will be applied to the
subwoofer output.

Mute - This parameter mutes the subwoofer channel.
