For example, if your speakers were 20 feet apart, you would move the microphone approximately 7’ (20 * (1/3) = 6.6) from the
RTA-M Mic Placement 1 Reference for mic positions 2-3 and approximately 14’ from the RTA-M Mic Placement 1 Reference
for mic position 4. However, as a general rule of thumb and for the sake of simplicity, a distance of 5’ should work well for
PA systems in most venues (around 1-3’ for stage monitors). If the recommended placement of the mic in positions 2-4 are
not possible, just place the mic in a position that differs from the other measurement positions to achieve a more accurate
averaged response.
When a live sound system’s frequency response is flattened, it can sound a bit thin on the low-end. When running AutoEQ, you
will be given an option to select the desired AutoEQ “TARGET CURVE”. Select the RECOMMENDED PA CURVE option (this
is the default setting) to allow AutoEQ to automatically boost the low-end and prevent it from sounding thin. Select the FLAT
option if you do want the system to be tuned flat when running the AutoEQ Wizard. Select the REFLECTIVE ROOM option to
automatically attenuate higher frequencies when operating a sound system in a room with excessive acoustic reflections.
Run AFS Wizard
This Wizard walks you through the process of ringing out the system to provide higher system gain before feedback. This is
accomplished by pushing your system into feedback so AFS can detect the frequencies that are prone to feedback and notch
them using Fixed filters. When the AFS Wizard is complete, it will automatically enable the Live filters, for automated protection
during system use. To use the AFS Wizard, simply set up all the microphones, perform a sound check, set up a rough mix for all
microphones which will be used during the performance, then follow the on-screen instructions.
Wizard Options
The available options in this menu are:
•
Level Assist Auto Trim
[ON, OFF]
When this option is turned on, Level Assist will automatically make fine level adjustments under the hood for any system
level mismatches which are 3 dB or less. When this option is turned off, no automatic level adjustments will be made by
Level Assist and all system level mismatches will need to be adjusted using the amplifier attenuators until they are within
a 1 dB tolerance.
NOTE:
Level adjustments made by the LEVEL ASSIST AUTO TRIM function cannot be seen or edited. To clear
them you must turn the LEVEL ASSIST AUTO TRIM function off then re-run Level Assist in the Wizard menu.
•
Mic Response
[dbx RTA-M, FLAT]
When the dbx RTA-M option is selected, AutoEQ will automatically compensate for the frequency response of the
dbx RTA-M microphone, providing more accurate AutoEQ results. Select the FLAT option if using a measurement
microphone other than the dbx RTA-M.
•
Setup Auto Preset Naming
[ON, OFF]
When this option is on, the VENU360 will automatically name presets based on the speaker selections made in the
Setup Wizard. Note that the automatically generated preset name can still be edited when storing the preset if desired.
