  • Page 2: Introduction

    Introduction the eq1 and eq2 are 27 band, constant-q, automatic equalizers. The eq1 has a 2 line lcd screen for user interface, while the eq2 is a blank faced unit. Both of the units have the capability to inject pink noise into a sound system, and to measure and adjust the system equalization to a ...

    27 band automatic equalizer general technical description the eq1/eq2 uses a straightforward analog signal path to provide excellent audio performance. 27 bands of constant- q equalization allows systems to be accurately equalized. The constant-q topology means less interaction between adjacent eq b...

    Installation installing the eq1/eq2 properly is simple, and only requires attention to a few issues. The eq1/eq2 should be used in a grounded metal rack. The expansion out port of the eq1/eq2 should be connected to the expansion in port of the next device. Note that if multiple am8s are being used w...

    27 band automatic equalizer operating instructions setup of the eq1/eq2 consists of adjusting the eq curve (either manually or using autoeq tm ), selecting the low cut filter status, and adjusting the dps system. 1) the desired eq curve should be set first. With the eq1, and eq curve may be set manu...

    27 band automatic equalizer serial port commands available the eq1/eq2 uses a modification of the typical one-to-one connection between two rs-232 compatible devices. The eq1/eq2 has both an rs-232 transmitter and receiver section. The transmitter section is “tri-stated”, or placed in a high impedan...

    General device commands acknowledge - causes the eq1/eq2 to send its “name” string back. The first data byte is the length of the name string, and the rest of the data bytes are the device name. Host sends command - 1 host receives data bytes: byte 1 is the length of the name string (3 for the eq1 a...

    27 band automatic equalizer set eq band level - allows the value of one or all eq bands to be changed. The first byte sent is the eq curve to change. The second byte sent is the eq band number, from 0-27. 0-26 correspond to 1/3 octave spaced frequencies from 40hz to 16khz, and implies that one eq ba...

    Set pop suppress setting - allows the pop suppress setting to be adjusted. Range is from 0-80 plus 127. 0-80 corresponds to -40dbu to 0dbu threshold values in .5db steps, and 127 is 100db mute (pop suppress off). Byte 1 is the new setting. Byte 2 is 0 or 1, and indicates whether or not to save the n...
