muted and set to -40dB for safety.

6.10 _ANALYZING THE RESULTS

The Altitude

16

 is a complete and flexible tool for displaying the correction filters as well as 

the responses of the speakers 

before

 and 

after

 the Trinnov optimization. 

The acoustical graphs are available in the 

Optimizer Graphs

 page of the Advanced settings. It is possible to display the 

acoustic responses of multiple speakers and analyze the information from various points of view: amplitude, phase, group 

delay, impulse response…
