Since we know that HD put in their own
strange custom EQ we have designed 6
Specific EQ, GAIN and CROSSOVER settings
for YOUR system - with OUR product.
Select one of these “Audio Presets” and life
just got a WHOLE lot easier!!
To the left I have chosen the PreSet “HD19
NEWER - HORNS” This is HD 2019 and
newer bike with a 4 channels amplifier and
front 6/5” speakers CoAx horns(or MidBass
with Horns) and rear bag 6 X 9” CoAx Horn
(or midbass driver and horn)
Notice what looks like a strange EQ. This is
done to conpensate for HD’s CRAZY EQ!
This is ONE (1) of six “varations on a theme
for EQing a HD audio system using Cicada
Audio products, These ”PreSets are there to
start you on your way. And NOT the “end all -
be all” of curves!!! You will still need to do
some adjustements. WE RECOMMEND that
you do adjustments as everyone wants their
bike to sound a certain way. There is NO
correct EQ or “Perfect” EQ. Make sure to
save your settings!!!
Try any of the other PreSets as you may like
them even better.
This is actually an advance settings thing-
BUT while I am talking about what you can
do with Pre Sets...you can SHARE them
with your friends! Enemies, whomever.
Click the far right of one of the memory
settings that shows the box with the up
arrow. When you touch that ....the box on
the left opens up (on Android at least)
From here you can pick how you want to
send your file! Text, Email, whatever!!!
If you are copying a frinds system and he
has it all “dialed ” up...you cans simply ask
for his file and he sends it to you and
BAMM! You’re set up!!
ALMOST FINAL THOUGHTS
There is a lot to take in on setting up any DSP
processor. The PreSetting of GAINS - both on the
DSP and amplifier(s) is CRUCIAL. As well as
PreSetting CROSSOVERS for ALL speakers in the
DSP will make or break your system.
Also make sure ALL speakers are in PHASE.
I forgot to mention that on the GAIN/DELAY page
you can put each channel in and out of phase 180
This is SUPER important! You MUST have the
system “In Phase” to be able to EQ it correctly
