3. Setting up ERGO and your Mixing Environment
RoomPerfect™ can derive information about:
•Room acoustic properties and modes (peaks and dips in the room)
•Power response throughout the room
•Loudspeaker directivity
•High frequency
•Characteristics of low frequency
From the acquired measurements, RoomPerfect™ processes the information and sets up amplitude targets and limiters for the different filters in an automated process. The most challenging task for a room correction system is the automated correction of an already near ideal system – but RoomPerfect™ is capable of solving even this challenge and compensates using minor corrections.
In the ERGO system, RoomPerfect™ automatically identifies the optimal target curve from the information in the measurements and everything after that is controlled by the calibration software (ERGO Cal). In a new ERGO installation, the software guides you through the set up sequence, indicates when to move the microphone, monitors the quality of the measurements, and continues the process until the necessary information is retrieved and the filters for “global” and “focused” correction can be calculated.
