Now that we have a good sense of the SPL across the audience area, we can also take a look at the 

anticipated Frequency Response at those very same locations by launching the Frequency Response 

tool! This can be found under the “VIEW” menu in the top toolbar. Click “VIEW” and then select 

“Frequency Response”

All mic positions will be displayed in the graph as well as an “average” of all the curves displayed in 

white. The rest are color-coded to match the colors of the virtual mics in the mapping display and each 

can be toggled on and off by clicking on their corresponding colored check-box at the bottom right of 

the screen.

The scale can also be adjusted by using the spinner at the top left of the screen for higher or lower 

resolution of the graph. 

The top right display will show the mapping criteria. This graph is set for FLAT SPL but remember it can 

be changed to MAX SPL under the options menu at the top of the Resolution display.

Another virtual mic feature available in the “Top View” of the mapping area is the “Virtual Mic Grid”.
