Automatic Room Correction

Tact-2.2 XP can now perform room correction automatically from the 2.2 XP front panel user interface, without the need for an PC software.

The automatic room correction feature is designed to perform the entire room cor- rection process without using a PC interface. The Tact-2.2 XP has sufﬁ cient DSP processing power to perform room measurement, crossover ﬁ lter design, target curve generation and correction ﬁ lter calculation. The entire process is controlled

CAUTION

from the 2.2 XP front panel DRC-RCS menu. Target curve and crossover ﬁ lter adjustments can be made on the ﬂ y while the music is playing. Users can, for ex- ample, specify a boost at low frequencies or a roll-off at high frequencies. Values of the ‘low’ and ‘high’ frequencies can also be adjusted.

PC based room correction requires that the 2.2 XP is connected to the RS232 port of a PC. PC software is used just as a GUI (graphical user interface) to provide the user with a graphical presentation of the correction process. After the room response measurement is completed, the room frequency response for all mea- sured channels can be displayed on the screen. Crossover ﬁ lters and actual cor- rection ﬁ lters can be viewed. The displayed graphs provide valuable information that helps users design their own optimum target curve.

The Tact-2.2 XP memorizes two sets of target curves: computer generated and automatically generated target curves. When the automatic feature is turned OFF, the 2.2 XP will use a computer generated set of target curves. When the automatic feature is turned ON, the 2.2 XP uses target curves generated by the 2.2 XP front panel automatic correction feature.

When the 2.2 XP is connected to a PC and the automatic feature is enabled, au- tomatically generated target curves will be uploaded into the RCS/DRC screen. The curves can than be saved or modiﬁ ed. Modiﬁ ed curves can than be loaded back into the 2.2 XP. However, the uploaded curves will not take effect until the automatic feature is disabled. Any target curve uploaded to 2.2 XP is saved as a PC generated target curve and takes effect only when the automatic feature is disabled. In another words, if a target curve is to be modiﬁ ed by the PC software, the automatic correction feature has to be disabled.

This following describes the automatic room correction process for all 2.2 XP operating modes.
