Chapter 7: Presets & Processing Adjustment
The Linear Acoustic AERO.qc contains multiple factory-programmed processing presets
that have been developed after many hours of listening and experimenting, and hundreds
of program sources across all genres were used during this tuning. Preset creation is an on-
going process, and we regularly implement presets designed by customers for specific ap-
plications.
Of course, all processing controls are accessible and users can custom design special pre-
sets that might be even more appropriate for a given situation. We strongly recommend
starting with the factory preset that is closest to the desired objective, then fine tuning it to
reach the desired goal. This will minimize the troubles that will likely be encountered as
many adjustments interact.

Description of Factory Presets & Adjustments
Each unit ships with a number of presets that are useful for most situations. A brief de-
scription of each is given below. Following the description of presets, a description of each
control available for use by all presets is given. Note that not all presets use every feature.
For example, only presets labeled as “NR” will use the multiband source noise reduction
feature.

eral. This is the most commonly used preset.
It provides a moderate degree of dynamic range processing, and is appropriate for all
types of content. It is the factory default for all core preset choices. Use of this preset
is highly recommended as it will produce audio that will have an average dialog loud-
ness of -27 as measured by a Linear Acoustic LQ-1000 or LAMBDA.

. This is very similar to TV 5B GEN,
however the ratio of the multiband compression has been reduced closer to 2:1 for a
more gentle action. Note that this will result in audio that strays further from an aver-
age dialog loudness setting.

: Similar to TV 5B GEN, however the
ratio of the multiband compressors has been decreased for a more open sound. Please
be aware that the lessening processing lessens the ability of the unit to control loudness
tightly to a given target.
