Eq frequency readout miscalibration

Hi all,

I’m not sure if it is just my surface, but I have noticed that the led readout is substantially different to the actual frequency in the eq section. ie: selecting 5k, actually shows around 2.5k on the leds. All four bands seem to be misaligned.

Anybody else noticed this?

Cheers,

Darren

Is your EQ set to 20 Hz - 20kHz range?

If so, then that’s the reason.

SRV-AVB

R-72, iDR-16, xDR-16

Interesting! I’ll switch eq modes and see if it matches up.

Is this a known bug that is on the “to do” list?

surely not a bug if you switch to 20Hz-20Khz mode the legends which were not intended for that wide must be wrong, well it makes sense to me.[:smile: ]

Even within the bandwidth of each section there is a mismatch. I would prefer to see the leds track accurately within their intended range and then remain “pinned” at either end of their travel as you adjust past that point.

I must admit I had never noticed this myself(I don’t normally look at the leds), a visiting band engineer pointed it out last weekend.

If you are in 20-20K eq mode then just ignore the legend and know that the LED position now represents the full 20-20kHz range. Change back to normal mode if you have guest engineers or they will get very confused! Maybe an EQ overlay panel with graphics for 20-20k mode would be a good idea?

Could always look at the display on the PEQ page I guess.

i strongly aggree with the statement below…if you dont know that its in 20-20k mode, then it is very confusing!
