The different elements of the screen are as follows: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To edit the EQ of each output, select the corresponding output in the section Edit and ensure that it's 
View option is activated. As with the Xover screen, the selected EQ curve will appear in the graphic 
window. The method of adjustment is the same as for the Input EQ section. 
 
In addition, this window allows the adjustment of the output gain of each output to enable the 
balancing of the sensitivities of the various connected amplifiers and transducers. 
Adjusting gain in this section is the same as doing it from the Input & Output Gain windows. 
 
Also available in this window is the adjustment of the output delay time. This is the same parameter as 
is available in the section Out Delay. The output delay can be adjusted to solve phase problems 
between channels. Such peculiarities can be viewed using the option Add instead of Individual View. 
When activating Add, the summed response of all activated data in the individual outputs with 
activated View option are displayed as a single blue curve. 
 
If the option Speaker in View Influence is activated and loudspeaker data is present, the electro-
acoustic response of the imported speaker data is shown. 
 

Import Data 

One of the most interesting features of the LMS244, setting it apart from other products, is the 
possibility to work with real data from the transducers or loudspeaker systems to be controlled. The 
experienced user can include this response at the end of processing to see directly on-screen the final 
electro-acoustical response and use this to make necessary adjustments to the final response in 
respect of source, loudness, room-acoustics etc.. 
To enter data it is necessary to have or obtain exported data in ASCII format from one of the following 
standard data-measurement systems: 
 

- CLIO 
- MLSSA 
- WINAIR 
- SIA Smaart Pro / Smaart Live 
- IMP 
- LAUD 
- CALSOD 
- DAAS 32 
- LoudSpeaker Lab
