Quick Start
Since the RA 30 does RTA, SPL, and VU all in one, the
first-time user can get a little lost. e real Quick Start is in the
Step-by Step Instructions on page Manual-4. is will tell you
how to set up the RA 30 for your application. In addition, read
these few tips as a reminder of what you already know:
USE MORE THAN ONE TEST MICROPHONE LOCATION. Speaker dispersion characteristics vary greatly, from
beamy highs to boomy bass bins. While performing the pink
noise test, try at least two different test mic locations and average
the two if they differ.
USE ENOUGH PINK NOISE VOLUME TO OVER-
RIDE BACKGROUND NOISE. ere’s no need to run deaf-
ening pink noise levels to EQ a system. Just be sure that no LED
responds when pink noise is turned off (if they do, background
noise is causing erroneous readings and pink noise should be
turned up higher).
MONITORING PROGRAM WITH ANALYZER
DISPLAY. Use any Source as an input. You can use this feature
to identify specific feedback points by watching for red LEDs
during the performance, then apply EQ exactly where it’s needed
very quickly.
WEAR PARTS: is product contains no wear parts.
