AutoEQ (AEQ) Module

The AEQ modules are 14-band parametric EQs which reside in the mid processing section of the VENU360 (pre crossover).
These modules are automatically adjusted by the built-in AutoEQ Wizard. When running the AutoEQ Wizard, the first 10 AEQ
bands will be set. The remaining 4 bands (11-14) are “user” bands and allow you to add to the AutoEQ’ed response without
affecting the 10 bands set by AutoEQ. Note that “user” bands 11-14 will not be reset if you run AutoEQ again. If you wish to
remove these “user” band settings, you should “Flatten” the AEQ before re-running AutoEQ. AEQ bands, like input PEQ bands,
support narrower “Q” settings of up to 128, for applications requiring system-wide notch filtering.

TIP:

Using the AutoEQ “user” bands (11-14) to tailor the AutoEQ response to your liking allows the settings to be

retained even after subsequent runs of the AutoEQ Wizard. This means that each time you run the AutoEQ Wizard, your
manual “user” adjustments will automatically be applied on top of the AutoEQ’ed response curve. If you decide to manually
adjust AutoEQ bands 1-10, such manual settings will be wiped out each time the AutoEQ Wizard is run.

AutoEQ modules are fixed pre crossover. The following section provides a description of each of the AEQ module parameters
and how to edit them.

To edit an AEQ module:

1. Press the EDIT button.

2. Select an AutoEQ module using

the SELECT wheel and UP/DOWN

buttons. Press the SELECT wheel

to enter the module’s menu.

3. Use the SELECT wheel and UP/

DOWN buttons to navigate the

menu and edit parameters.

TIP:

When in a menu, pressing and holding the

EDIT

button for approximately 2 seconds will advance to the next module

below in the configuration map, wrapping around through the available modules. This allows quick navigation between menus
of a column and improves efficiency when performing repetitive tasks within like modules.
