Frequency “fine tuning” being the Frequency increment/decrement done by 1Hz steps.

For a quick Low Cut Frequency setting, need to press the ENTER Button for accessing the Low Cut Frequency
Fast Setting Page.

Out-1 High HPF

->Edit Freq = 400Hz

“

Low Cut Frequency

”: the selectable frequencies range is from 20Hz to 20kHz.

Here, the NAV/PM1” encoder will increment/decrement the Frequency value by step of one thousand Hz, the PM2
by steps of one hundred Hz and the PM3 by steps of one Hz.

LPF sub-menu

– from this sub-menu it is possible to set the Output Channels Low Pass Filter.

Once on the LPF page

Pressing the ENTER Button, the filter type fields and the Cutting frequency fields, become accessible for the filter's
type selection and the Cutting Frequency “fine” setting

Out-1 Low LPF

Bypass F = 12500Hz

Out-1 Low LPF

->Bypass F = 12500Hz

The available shapes and orders for the Low Pass Filter, that are accessible by rotating the “PM2” encoder, are
listed below:

−

Bypass

(Low Pass Filter Bypassed)

−

Buttw_1st

(Butterworth Filter 6dB/Oct Slope)

−

Buttw_2nd

(Butterworth Filter 12dB/Oct Slope)

−

LRiley_2nd

(Linkwitz/Riley Filter 12dB/Oct Slope)

−

Bessel_2nd

(Bessel Filter 12dB/Oct Slope)

　

Buttw_3th

−

Buttw_4th

(Butterworth Filter 24dB/Oct Slope)

−

LRiley_4th

(Linkwitz/Riley Filter 24dB/Oct Slope)

−

Bessel_4th

(Bessel Filter 24dB/Oct Slope)

　

Buttw_6th

−

Buttw_8th

　

LRiley_8th

　

　

LPF sub-menu

[Standard Filters]

– from the sub-menu page, using the PM2 encoder, it is possible to set the

LPF in Bypass or as one of the 8 Standard Filters: Buttw_1st, Buttw_2nd, LRiley_2nd, Bessel_2nd, Buttw_3th
Buttw_4th, LRiley_4th, Bessel_4th.

Buttw_6th, LRiley_6th, Buttw_8th, LRiley_8th.

The following is an example of a LPF sub-menu screen with the filter set at 400Hz as 24dB Linkwitz/Riley on
Output1... using the name “Low” (see later for assigning a Name to the outputs):

Out-1 Low LPF

->LRiley_4th F = 400Hz

The filter's Frequency can be set already within this editing page using the PM3 encoder, but here is for
Frequency “fine tuning” being the Frequency increment/decrement done by 1Hz steps.
For a quick High Cut Frequency setting, need to press the ENTER Button for accessing the High Cut Frequency
Fast Setting Page.

Out-1 Low LPF

->Edit Freq = 400Hz

“

High Cut Frequency

”: the selectable frequencies range is from 20Hz to 20kHz.

Here, the NAV/PM1” encoder will increment/decrement the Frequency value by step of one thousand Hz, the PM2
