RTA – GEQ Screen –
The 28 band GEQ RTA uses automatic gain control (pre-trim) to display useful relative
levels of frequencies for each band of the Graphic EQ. By default, it is sourced from
the selected mix channel.
• If the RTA for a different channel is being displayed through use of the ‘Fixed
Channel’ option, the RTA source is shown at the top right.
• If the RTA for a different channel is displayed because it has been selected by
SQ-MixPad, the RTA source is shown at the top right with a ‘!’ prefix and the RTA
meters will not be visible.
• The most prominent frequency is shown in red.
• Stereo sources display metering for L+R.
