Off Stereo / Mono When set in the OFF mode the channel will be on at all times. Use the OFF setting for audio signals like a doorbell or paging where audio must be reproduced immediately at any time.
Output Volume Test Signal Output Volume The SONARC software includes a built in pink noise generator. The pink noise signal can be used in conjunction with a real time analyzer to measure speakers. This is the main volume level control for each channel. When channels are placed in the same Output Group the levels will change simultaneously. Test Signal Select You have the option of pink noise or test signals fed into line level inputs.
Import Single Preset Parametric EQ 1. Import speaker preset to a location on your computer. This can be accomplished by saving a DSP preset downloaded from Sonance website. All Sonance DSP amplifier models feature a 10 band parametric EQ. Adjustments made to the EQ will be displayed on the Output Frequency Response graph. We strongly suggest not adjusting the EQ without proper measurement equipment. 2.
Tilt Control Limiter The tilt controls are very sophisticated bass and treble control. By selecting a start frequency and level you can ramp the bass and or treble up or down. The effect of the tilt control is visible in the Output Frequency Response graph. The limiter operates as a brick wall limit on the output of the amplifier. The limiter drop down menu has -3dB, -6dB and -12dB options.
