RTA

The RTA provides a 1/3 octave 'Real Time Analyser' frequency display for the current PAFL signal.

The RTA can be viewed in the Home or Meters screens. It also displays on the strip meters when GEQ Fader Flip is active. It separates the signal being listened to on the PAFL monitor into 31 frequency bands and shows the relative strength of each as a real time display.

When enabled, the RTA Peak Band option displays the dominant frequency as a red bar in the RTA screen or by lighting the red Pk indicator on the related strip meter while in GEQ Fader Flip mode. Only one band will be lit red.

Note The RTA follows the PAFL signal. Check that you have selected PAFL for the signal you wish to analyse.

Using the RTA

Use the RTA to help identify problem frequencies such as instrument or room resonance or feedback.

With the Peak Band option enabled the RTA is a good tool to help identify feedback frequencies while ringing out stage monitors. Carefully raise the level of a vocal mic until the monitor just begins to ‘ring’. That frequency will be shown as the peak band and can be cut on the related Aux mix GEQ.
