in Soundweb Original
Hi there ,

Im new to the soundweb system,

I am going to be doing a refit where 2 soundweb 9088 `s are installed.

All I need to do is change cross over freq. , re - eq , and adjust limiter.

So Im hoping that I ll pick it up pretty easily ?? .

My question is , when I arrive at the venue will I be able to dump the existing Programme to my laptop , for backup and so i can modify it rather than starting from scratch .

Any Advice , welcome

    Hi there,

    There is no way to extract the design from a soundweb green network.
    You need the original file so you can modify it to suit, or you need to re-write a new design from scratch.

    A good system integrator or venue manager would have insisted on a backup copy being produced as part of the comissioning documentation, so that is worth a check, but in the real world, most integrators see designs as their intellectual property so that they can keep milking the service contract.

    Good luck either way.

    Cheers

    Rob

    Thanks Rob , Im in trouble then we aint got the orginal file and I am not
    experiaced enough with soundweb to start from scratch. Is there no other way to modify the EQ parameters etc without the original file ????

    only by placing another piece of hardware in the signal path.

    You need to current design file, this will allow you to go online, recieve settings and modify them.

    No design file means you need to do a redesign.

    Technically, you could do a brute force hacking of the device using serial strings to identify and then modify the EQs.

    Everybody stop looking at me like that. It's totally possible. Just really slow... and painful... and pathetic... and slow... very slow... very very slow...

    Martin will do it. He's bored.
