FM MENU EXPERT MODE
Parametric Equalizer
The
Parametric Equalizer
menu allows you to set up the 6-band phase-linear parametric equalizer, which is located just ahead
of the multiband section of the processing core. In addition, an assortment of pre-configured filters is available, including a
Low Pass Filter, a High Pass Filter, a Band Pass Filter, a Notch Filter, a Low Shelf EQ, and a High Shelf EQ.
♦
The
Bypass
button removes the equalizer from the audio path.
♦
The
Type
drop down menu determines what type of EQ or filter is employed.
♦
The
Frequency
slider is used to set the center frequency for each band. The range of this control is 20 to 22,050Hz.
♦
The
Width
slider determines how much audio above and below the center frequency will also be affected by any boosts
or cuts in gain. The range of this control is 0.0 to 10.0 octaves in one-tenth octave increments. Lower values provide a
narrower (sharper) boost or cut, while higher values provide a wider (gentler) boost or cut.
♦
The
Gain
slider determines how much the audio selected with a combination of the Frequency and Width sliders is
boosted or cut. Each band can be boosted or cut by 12dB in one-quarter dB increments for a total range of 24db per band.
Although changes made in the parametric equalizer section are offset somewhat by the action of the multiband compressors
that follow, this does not occur to the degree you might expect based upon your experience with other processors. The
parametric equalizer in Omnia.9 is a very versatile and powerful tool for creating your on-air sound. A visual representation of
the effects of the PEQ using the built-in real time analyzer can be seen in the RTA portion of the Display Settings section of this
manual.
