PC Control Program
The Control Program requires no installation. Just download the file from the Harmony
website an put it on your desktop. You should check back on the site regularly to assure
you have the most up-to-date version of the software. Below is the layout of the main
screen (6-Ch.
/
15-bands EQ for the HB 46 ADSP model and 8-Ch.
/
31-bands EQ for the
HB 48 ADSP model).
Main Screen
Both the units share the same GUI, but the HB 46 ADSP has a 6-Channels DSP with a
15-bands EQ, while the HB 48 ADSP has a 8-Channels DSP with a 31-bands EQ.
1
- At the very top of the GUI there is the
File Menu
(Pag. 14). The Preset button is
where you will save setups to memory presets and load setups from those saved.
Option let you choose Language and other tools like BT/USB volume. The Mix
button opens the I
/
O Matrix screen, where you can manually determine which
inputs will be used for each output and how much of each input the output will
receive. Encrypt is where you manage your password.
2
- Here you choose the
Input
you will use while tuning. You can choose AUX which
can be an aftermarket head unit, or a factory head unit using the HI-LEV option.
You also have USB and BT (Bluetooth) input if you add the optional module.
3
- Connection status.
4
-
High-Pass and Low-Pass Filter
for each channel. You can type in the frequencies
and choose crossover style and slope or turn the crossovers off, if you do not want
them for some channels. Always check the speaker makers recommendations for
crossovers before you make the crossover decisions.
5
-
EQ area
. Here are 15-bands (HB 46 ADSP) or 31-bands (HB 48 ADSP) of
parametric equalization for each output channel and you can vary Frequency, Gain,
and Q (the shape of the adjustment) for each band. Frequency: Each band is
numbered. You can simply click onto a band button and drag it to where you want
it. When you click onto a band there is a “Heads-up display” of the Frequency, Gain,
and Q of the band.
6
- Here you find the master level control.
7
- The
Output Channels
section is for Speaker Assignment, Delay, adjusting Levels and
checking Polarity to be sure all speakers are in phase with each other. There are a
number of systems for checking System Phase. If the systems speakers are not
all in phase there will be issues you can not fix by tuning. You can see the section
on System Phasing (Pag. 12) to see one method of Phase checking. The MUTE
buttons allow you to turn off any speakers that you do not want to hear while you
are tuning other speakers. The purpose of Delay is to make every speaker the
same distance from you, so you are in the middle.
8
- Here you choose between
GEQ (Graphic)
and
PEQ (Parametric)
equalizers, or
Reset EQ, if you want to reset channels to default positions with no equalization.
9
- Here you Reset, Link or Lock Output Channels.
