Each audio input contains 3-band parametric filter (PEQ) to adjust input signal tone. Parametric filter is equipped with
following parameters: Bypass, Central frequency (20-20000 Hz), Gain (-30 to +6 dB) and Bandwidth (0.0 – 2.3 octaves).

Note  Avoid multiply PEQ-settings for the same frequency; that may spoil the sound quality remarkably.

Matrix Routing

The behaviour of routing is selected in “Startup Program Routing Mode” and there are two options:

Restore Last Routing Settings

This dynamic routing is used when audio sources and group level volume is controlled by remote control units or
devices (AAE 808 or ASV 800). The system stores active routing and make it as a units’ active preset. All
done settings will remain after power up of the unit.

Restore Default Routing

Default signal routing is the routing made for the matrix in preset. Each node point level can be set manually by
activating the point and then clicking by mouse the level value, for instance “0 dB”. New value can set to “New
value” toolbar.

Default routing can be used in a situation, where no actual volume settings is not necessary to do by any Control Unit
or Device, or different preset-settings is used primarily for signal routing (for instance in AV-systems). Different user
situations are included in different presets and they can be called with control unit, control input or as time based event.

Note  If the Default Routing is used, the system will restore the Routing table settings every time preset is called
(also after power-up). This will overwrite the Group Input Source and Level Settings made by AAE 808 Control
Units or ASV 800 Control Devices.

For example in this configuration audio from “Tuner 1” is routed to amplifier outputs “Garage A” and “Garage B” and
audio from “CD 1” to amplifier outputs “Staff A” and “Staff B” in full level.

Note  Routings are only for program audio sources, and they don’t effect on priority paging!

Output DSP

This section contains DSP-setting functions for eight amplifier outputs and one of the most important parameter: Master
volume.
