Equaliser Selection

The Equaliser panel is used to select the type of equaliser whose responses REW is to model. The choices are grouped by manufacturer and model. Changing the equaliser type updates the EQ filters panel, applying the settings appropriate to the selected equaliser. Filters already defined are retained where possible, but parameter values will be adjusted if necessary to comply with the ranges and resolutions of the chosen equaliser. The currently selected equaliser is shown in the panel title, with the sample rate at which it operates shown in brackets, and in the EQ Filters panel.

If the equaliser has additional settings a cog icon appears next to the model selector, currently only the Configurable PEQ has additional settings.

Equalisers supported

ADA PEQ

The ADA equaliser setting supports parametric filters only, allowing 12 filters. The filter bandwidth in Hz between the half gain points is given by:

Bandwidth = centre frequency/Q

N.B. The ADA filter shapes have not been verified against an actual unit.

The adjustment ranges are:

Parameter	Minimum	Maximum	Resolution
Frequency	20	20000	1 Hz
Gain	-10	+10	0.5 dB
Q	0.1	10	0.1

Apple AU N-Band EQ

The AU N-Band EQ is a software EQ that runs at the sample rate of the measurement it is applied to. This equaliser setting supports 16 filters. The parametric filter bandwidth in Hz between the half gain points is given by:

Bandwidth = centre frequency/Q

but bandwidths are entered in octaves.

The adjustment ranges are:

Parameter	Minimum	Maximum	Resolution
Frequency	20	22000	0.01 Hz below 100 Hz, 0.1 Hz below 1 kHz, 1 Hz above 1 kHz
Gain	-96	+24	0.1 dB
BW	0.02	5	0.01 octaves

Audiotec Fischer

The Audiotec Fischer entries are Full EQ (30 bands), Half EQ (15 bands), Input EQ (7 bands) and EQ with TC (27 bands). All offer peak, modal, low shelf and high shelf filters. For the peak filters the bandwidth in Hz between the half gain points is given by:

Bandwidth = centre frequency/Q

The filter adjustment ranges are:

Parameter	Minimum	Maximum	Resolution
Frequency	20	200000	0.1 Hz
Gain	-30	+12	0.1 dB
Peak Q	0.5	50	0.01
Shelf Q	0.1	2	0.1

Behringer BFD Pro DSP1124P/FBQ1000

The DSP1124P equaliser setting supports the DSP1124P's parametric filters, allowing 12 filters. Note that this equaliser is now sold under as the FBQ1000. Filters can be transferred over a Midi connection using the Send filter settings to equaliser action. The adjustment ranges are:

Parameter	Minimum	Maximum	Resolution
Frequency	20	20000	see below
Gain	-48	+16	1 dB
BW/60	1	120	1

The frequency control adjusts in the pseudo-1/60th octave steps DSP1124P supports (20 evenly spaced subdivisions of the ISO one-third octave intervals), with the one-third octave and fine adjustment values DSP1124P uses shown alongside the actual frequency in the EQ Filters Panel.

The "BW/60" control replicates the effect of the DSP1124P's bandwidth setting. This control sets the bandwidth of the filter between the half-gain points with:

Bandwidth (Hz) = centre frequency*(BW/60)*sqrt(2)

For example, at a bandwidth setting of 60/60 a filter centred on 1kHz with a gain of -6dB will have a bandwidth of 1,414Hz between the points where its response crosses -3dB. This bandwidth remains constant as the filter's gain is adjusted (Note that the Behringer DSP1100 software package does NOT correctly reproduce the way the bandwidth control actually operates, its bandwidths are too small by a factor of sqrt(2)).

Defining filter bandwidth in this way is not uncommon (the TMREQ filters use a similar definition). The relationship between Q and BW for the DSP1124P is

Q = 60/[(BW/60)*sqrt(2)]

so the bandwidth range of 1/60 to 120/60 gives a Q range from 42.4 to 0.35.

Behringer BFD Pro FBQ2496

The FBQ2496 equaliser setting supports the FBQ2496's parametric filters, allowing 20 filters. Filters can be transferred over a Midi connection using the Send filter settings to equaliser action but the transfer is not always reliable. The adjustment ranges are:

Parameter	Minimum	Maximum	Resolution
Frequency	20	20000	1/60th octave
Gain	-36	+15	0.5 dB (1 dB below -15 dB)
Bandwidth	1/60	10	octaves, see below

The frequency control adjusts in approximately 1/60th octave steps (more precisely, 1/200th of a decade).

The bandwidth control adjusts in 1/60 of an octave steps from 1/60 to 5/60 of an octave, then goes through 1/10, 1/9, 1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 octaves.

The relationship between Q and BW in octaves for the FBQ2496 is

Q = sqrt(2)/BW

so the bandwidth range of 1/60 to 10 octaves gives a Q range from 84.85 to 0.14.

Behringer DCX2496

The DCX2496 equaliser setting supports parametric filters (labelled "BP" for Band Pass) and low and high shelving filters (with 6 and 12 dB/octave slopes).

It allows up to 9 EQ filters per channel, depending on the other processing the unit is doing. The parametric filter bandwidth in Hz between the half gain points is given by:

Bandwidth = sqrt(gain)*centre frequency/Q

where gain is from the absolute value of the dB figure so always >= 1. The adjustment ranges are:

Parameter	Minimum	Maximum	Resolution
Frequency	20	20000	106 steps per decade
Gain	-15	+15	0.1 dB
Q	0.1	10	20 steps per decade

The frequency control adjusts in steps of 1/106th of a decade. The Q control adjusts in steps of 1/20th of a decade, i.e. there are 20 Q values between 0.1 and 1 and another 20 between 1.0 and 10.

Dutch & Dutch 8c

The Dutch & Dutch 8c Equaliser supports 24 filters, peaking and shelf which can be written to or read from the speakers over the local network. It also shows the speakers bass, treble and sub filter settings. On Windows a firewall prompt will appear to allow REW to access the network when the 8c equaliser is first selected. The peaking filter bandwidth in Hz between the half gain points is given by:

Bandwidth = centre frequency/Q

The adjustment ranges are:

Parameter	Minimum	Maximum	Resolution
Frequency	15	20000	0.01 Hz below 100 Hz, 0.1 Hz below 1 kHz, 1 Hz above 1 kHz
Gain	-120	+3	0.1 dB
Q	0.1	50	0.001

REW scans the local network for speakers when the 8c equaliser setting is selected and, if the 8c is the default equaliser in the Equaliser preferences, on startup. There is also a Scan network for speakers action in the filter tasks pane that will trigger a rescan and show the results in a dialog. The Send filter settings to speaker or group action writes the filter settings to the selected speaker or group of speakers. The Load filters from speaker or group action retrieves the selected speaker or group filter settings. When initially retrieved the filters will be set to Manual control, to allow REW to use a filter for automatic target matching set the control to Automatic. Filters that were set to automatic when they were sent to the speaker will be set to automatic when they are retrieved.

If the 8c is the default equaliser in the Equaliser preferences the measurement dialog will offer an option to measure with playback from the speakers, which uses measurement sweep files which the speakers contain. When measuring with playback from the speakers REW will capture the filter settings from the speaker when it is measured, they can be viewed in the Info dialog. Those settings are retained in the measurement file and allow iterative adjustment of filter settings, taking into account the filters that were active when the measurement was made. If the settings have been captured the Reset filters for current measurement action in the filter tasks pane will offer a choice of resetting the filters to the settings they had when the measurement was made or to None.

When the 8c is selected as the equaliser the target settings will be set to:

• Speaker Type: Full Range
• LF Slope: 24dB/octave
• LF Cutoff (Hz): 20
• LF Rise Start (Hz): 100
• LF Rise End (Hz): 20
• LF Rise Slope (dB/octave): 1.0
• HF Fall Start (Hz): 1000
• HF Rise Slope (dB/octave): 0.0

and the target match range will be set to 20 .. 100 Hz, with a maximum match end frequency of 1000 Hz.
