TWEEQ INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS TWEEQ™?
TWEEQ is a software package that offers a fast and
effective way of equalizing sound systems using
Oxmoor's DEQ-I and DEQ-II High Resolution Programmable Equalizers. While presenting a visual
control interface with a similar appearance and operation to the DEQ–II's front panel controls,
Oxmoor's TWEEQ software offers enhanced resolution for easy adjustment. A significant advantage of
using TWEEQ is that multiple curves may be stored
on disk.
The accessory TWEEQ software package includes
software, a serial protocol conversion box that makes
your computer PA-422 compatible, and a cable to
interconnect your computer and the conversion box.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Before you begin to work with TWEEQ, we recommend that you become familiar with your current
hardware and software. We strongly recommend
that you examine Oxmoor's DEQ-I and DEQ-II
"Installation & Operation Manual" if you have any questions about DEQ Names, Presets, Preset Titles, etc.
Minimum hardware: Macintosh Plus or later
Minimum System software: 6.0.4. or later
Minimum memory: One megabyte (1 MB)
TWEEQ INSTALLATION
After starting your Macintosh from a start up disk, insert the TWEEQ disk. If you are working with a hard
disk, drag the TWEEQ icon onto your hard disk. We
recommend that you generate a new Folder and name
it TWEEQ. Then place the TWEEQ program into this
folder.
After you have installed your TWEEQ program, double
click on the TWEEQ icon and refer to the following
pages for a description of operations.

the Gain Band and press the mouse button. You
should see the slug move to the cursor position. Now
drag the cursor up and down the Gain Band and
watch the slug follow.
Once you have captured a slug, and you continue to
press the mouse button, you can move the cursor anywhere within the Filter Bands or Gain Band areas
without losing control of the captured slug. This allows you to capture a slug and then move the cursor
to the dB scale located on each side of the Filter Bands
for precise positioning of the slug.

cursor inside the High-Pass or Low-Pass rectangular box, then press the mouse button. A menu box
