ISP Signal Generator
Here is a quick guide on how to to use the ISP signal generator from the WebUI.
Prerequisites
Your ISP must be powered ON, up-to-date and connected to your LAN.
You need to access the Main Speakers page in the Installer WebUI.
Instructions
Enter the “Main Speakers” page
Enter your Theater edition page
Below the main header, you will find the Generator controls
GENERATOR button
Enable/disable the generator function
Setup button
Indicate the channels grouping. All channels in a group will play when that group is selected. By default all channels are made into a single group.
Multiway speakers ways are also in a single group by default. Grouping multiway speaker channels is mandatory to check your frequency response across your speaker crossovers for example.
Test signal list
Sine
Feeds the chosen single frequency to the selected group. You can use arrow keys to increment the frequency.
Pink Noise
Feeds full bandwidth pink noise to the selected group. Useful to localize speakers in your room.
Pink Noise 400Hz-4kHz
Feeds limited bandwidth pink noise to the selected group. Useful to calibrate level between speakers, not depending on their frequency range capacity.
External
Allows you to connect an external generator to the ISP to play in the selected group. Can be used with REW for example, to record speakers sweep responses.
Gain
Sets the generator level.
Default is 0.1, which gives a -20dBFS level out at 0dB Master Volume. Unless you need the extra power for specific tests, we recommend you leave it at 0.1 and use the master volume to control the output level.
Group selection
Selects the group that will play the generator test signal. Depending on your “Setup” settings, it will play only a speaker way up to the full theater at the same time. Use +/- to navigate between the groups.
Examples
This will play a Pink noise signal into the LF channel:
This will play a 1kHz sine wave into the LF + RF speakers:
This will use the External generator to play into the LF and RF speakers. The external generator can be used on all your declared HDMI inputs. You can use an external software like Room Eq Wizard to check your speakers performance, before and after a calibration for example.
The generator Setup is not linked to the Dirac Setup, they need to be set separately.
