Using the software 

   

Frequency response plot 

 

The frequency response plot can be configured to display the amplitude and phase of: 

•

 

The summed response of any combination of output channels 

•

 

Any individual block in the DSP flow diagram 

•

 

An imported custom speaker measurement 

The summed response option can be useful to estimate the far-field response of two-way speakers, ported 
speakers and so on. 

3.2.3.1

 

Example 1: EQ filter response plot

 

L

et’s open 

a two-channel flow and configure two left channel biquads as peaking filters (parametric EQ), as 

shown below: 

 

Figure 24

 

Two cascaded biquads 

Now, let’s enable the “

Speaker_1

”

 response and select the 

“

”

 option: 

 

 

Figure 25

 

Enable “Speaker_1” response

 

The following peaks will then be shown in the frequency response plot corresponding to the peaking filters we 
just configured:
