RTA - Band-Pass

The RTA (Real Time Analyzer) - Band-Pass component allows you to measure the magnitude of a signal over the audio frequency range. The RTA - Band-Pass is typically used for tuning your system. For example, you can place microphones around your venue, feed them into the RTA - Band-Pass, and adjust the EQ for the individual areas to get the best/same tuning for each area.

Input Pins

Input

Audio signal pins are represented by a () circle, and traditional wiring is represented by a thin black line. You can use Signal Names on audio signal pins.

By default, the RTA- Band-Pass component only has one input pin available.

Output Pins

This component does not have any output pins available.

Tip: For additional properties not listed, refer to the Properties Panel help topic for more information.

RTA - Band-Pass Properties

Bandwidth

Selects the bandwidth for the band-pass filters in the RTA - Band-Pass.

One octave provides 10 filters for the audio spectrum giving a wide bandwidth for each filter and a smoother response. A bandwidth of 1/24 octave provides 124 filters giving a narrow bandwidth for each filter, and a more granular response - more distinct highs and lows. You can choose from the following: 

  • 1 Octave
  • 1/3 Octave
  • 1/6 Octave
  • 1/12 Octave
  • 1/24 Octave

Response Graph

Response Panel

Graphical display of the RTA - Band-Pass response.

Configure

RMS Response Time constant (ms / seconds)

Sets the RMS Level Detector time constant for both attack and decay.

This controls how quickly the RTA - Band-Pass A respond to changes in the input levels.

Max Hold Time (seconds)

Sets how long the maximum magnitude displays are held before refreshing.

Infinite Hold (button)

Holds the display, until the button is disengaged.

During the period the Infinite Hold button is on, the RTA - Band-Pass updates the display with any magnitudes that are higher than the initial response, but does not change if the magnitude is lower.

Clear Response

Clears the Response Panel display.

Note: These outputs represent array values displayed in the RTA graph that may be used in scripting.
