AND METERING
Available in
: all plugins
Each output channel has a gain control, together with a level meter (active while the plugin is in online mode),
adjustable delay, a mute button and a button for polarity inversion.
Level
Adjusts the level on that output channel. This control is typically used to ensure equal levels on
all channels in an active crossover. In the advanced plugins (
2x4 Advanced
,
2Way Advanced,
2Way Advanced 21, 4Way Advanced
), gain adjustments are in increments of 0.1 dB. In all other
plugins, gain adjustments are in increments of 1 dB.
Meter
Displays the current output signal level. The level is displayed in dB FS
–
that is, relative to full-
scale output voltage, which is 0.9 V RMS. Make sure to keep the signal below 0 dB FS (red), and
keep enough headroom to avoid distortion.
Delay
Specified a delay of up to 7.5 ms on that output channel (4 ms for the
Rear/Center
plugin). This
is used to time-align drivers in an active speaker system, to adjust the timing of specific channels
to match other speakers, or to adjust relative phase for better subwoofer integration. When a
delay is set, the plugin also displays the equivalent distance
–
that is, the distance that sound
travels in the given time.
Mute
Mutes that output channel. This is helpful when testing and refining your configuration. (For
example, mute the tweeter to test the woofer, and vice versa.)
