7. App Menu
The menu and options are basically identical for macOS, Windows and iPadOS.
Options - Preferences
The app itself has two settings available directly from the app’s menu. One disables the automatic
change of shown output page, when toggling or plugging a headphone (Default: On). The other
one enables to load up to 20 PEQs simultaneously into the unit via a Setup file, as that file includes
all 20 PEQ Presets. This is a nice feature for copying device states quickly between units, but
usually users want to have full control what to load and then only load one or the other PEQ to
specific slots – that’s why this option is off by default.
Options - Enter Full Screen Mode

File - Load Factory – EQ Examples
This command will load 18 PEQ Presets into the PEQ Editor – page EQ Presets – NOT into the
device! But with the above global preference Store file-loaded EQ-Presets into Device all PEQs
in the device will be overwritten, so be careful! (No issue when you did the backup first – we told
you on page 4!).
These EQ Presets are examples on how to use the EQ and other interesting things. Here is some
background information on the examples:
1. Nomen est omen, but not for anyone
2. Sub-bass boost for in-ears. Intentionally with Peak filter to reduce boost
of the lowest, inaudible frequencies
3. Oratory1990 proposal for Sennheiser HD650
4. The author’s compensation for Audeze's LCD-X
5. The author’s compensation for Sennheiser HD800S
6. Oratory1990 proposal for HEDD Heddphone
7 to 10: compensation for DAC filters as published in RME’s forum
11: Turns an illegal digital square into a bandlimited, valid square that still
looks like a square
12: As the name says, different curves for left and right channel
13/14: Taken from the ADI-2 series manual. For details please read there.
15: Very effective rumble filter for turntables (Preset 22 in 2/4 Pro)
16/17: Using a subwoofer the sub could need some mid/treble reduction,
while the satellites need bass to be removed. These examples combined provide a proper cross-
over, but each one also works independently.
18: Hearing test. By changing the frequency of band 5 in real-time this hi-cut lets you find out at
what point you hear a difference in music playback. If you don't hear anything changed down to
12 kHz - don't worry, you are not alone...This one is called FM Tuner as FM radio (German UKW)
is typically limited to around 15 kHz audio bandwidth. Just for fun the famous MPX filter is added
as 19 kHz notch in Band 4.
19/20: Intentionally left empty. These two are useful to store modified PEQs, or when changing
the order (copy the slot to be overwritten to an empty slot first to not lose its content)
