Equalising a system 219
XL8 Control Centre
Operator Manual
When equalising the room, bear in mind the effect upon the electronics and mechanics
of the system caused by the equalisation process. If excessive equalisation is required
at certain bands, consider the effect upon amplifier headroom and loudspeaker driver
excursion that will result. It may not be possible to produce the response required
within the limitations of the system. Excessive equalisation should act as a warning
that there may be an underlying problem that may need rectifying first, for example,
phase cancellation, blown drivers etc.
During the performance, the FOH or monitor engineer may want to have a microphone
or solo signal feed for the RTA so that feedback may be easily detected and rectified.
