Copy and Paste

Use to quickly apply the same PEQ setting across multiple channels.

1.  Select the channel from the pull-down menu in the PEQ screen.
2.  Select Copy
3.  In the pull-down menu, select the channel to apply the PEQ setting and select Paste.

Import and Export

Use to save and load PEQ settings from a file on a computer. This is useful for creating a
library of reusable configuration files on computers used for system installation.

Export

Choose a channel to save the PEQ setting, and select Export to
file.

Import

Choose a channel to load the PEQ setting, and select Import from
file.

Equalizer Applications

Conferencing room acoustics vary based on room size, shape, and construction materials.
Use the guidelines in following table.

EQ Application

Suggested Settings

Treble boost for improved speech
intelligibility

Add a high shelf filter to boost frequencies
greater than 1 kHz by 3-6 dB

HVAC noise reduction

Add a low cut filter to attenuate frequencies
below 200 Hz

Reduce flutter echoes and sibilance

Identify the specific frequency range that
"excites" the room:

1.  Set a narrow Q value
2.  Increase the gain to b10 and

+15 dB, and then experiment with
frequencies between 1 kHz and 6 kHz
to pinpoint the range of flutter echoes
or sibilance

3.  Reduce the gain at the identified

frequency (start between -3 and -6 dB)
to minimize the unwanted room sound

Reduce hollow, resonant room sound

Identify the specific frequency range that
"excites" the room:

1.  Set a narrow Q value
2.  Increase the gain to b10 and

+15 dB, and then experiment with
frequencies between 300 Hz and 900
Hz to pinpoint the resonant frequency

3.  Reduce the gain at the identified

frequency (start between -3 and -6 dB)
to minimize the unwanted room sound
