PEQ Parameters
• PARAMETRIC EQ [OFF, ON]
Turns the selected PEQ module on and off.
• FLATTEN [RESTORE, FLAT]
Select the FLAT option to zero out the selected PEQ (set all bands to 0 dB). Select the RESTORE option to retrieve the
settings you had before you selected the FLAT option. Note that you can only restore PEQ settings as long as you do
not power cycle the VENU360 or load another preset.
• BAND(1-12) TYPE [BELL, LOW SHELF, HIGH SHELF]
Selects the parametric EQ filter type. Use the BELL type to edit a range of frequencies, the LOW SHELF type to edit all
frequencies below a specified frequency, or the HIGH SHELF type to edit all frequencies above a specified frequency.
Each band allows you to select between these three band types, so any band can be a bell or shelving type filter.
• BAND(1-12) FREQUENCY [20Hz - 20kHz]
Adjusts the center/cutoff frequency of the selected EQ band.
• BAND(1-12) GAIN [-20dB - +20dB]
Adjusts the gain of the selected EQ band.
• BAND(1-12) Q [0.1 - 128]
This parameter is only available with BELL type filters and adjusts the width of the selected filter. Lower Q settings
provide wider filters, affecting a wider range of frequencies when adjusted. Higher Q settings provide narrower filters,
which affect fewer frequencies when adjusted. The output PEQs provide Q settings of up to 16, while the input PEQs
provide additional selections of 32, 64, and 128 for applications requiring manual notch filtering capabilities.
• BAND(1-12) SLOPE [3 - 15]
This parameter is only available with LOW SHELF or HIGH SHELF type filters and adjusts the slope rate of the filter
beyond the cutoff frequency. Lower settings yield a more gradual slope. Higher settings produce a steeper slope. The
range of the SLOPE parameter is from 3dB/Octave-15dB/Octave.
