EQ model implementation request and info/measurements for BSS Soundweb Original series

[bogam]

Hi, I would like to see this implemented as a further EQ model in the REW EQ wizard.

The algorithm used is identical to the existing StormAudio model, except q/bandwidth is defined differently:
(Soundweb Width) = (1.6)/(StormAudio Q)
Figured this out with calibrated loopback measurements which are attached.


Manufacturer: "BSS"
Model: "Soundweb 9088" or "Soundweb Original" or "Soundweb Green"

Number of bands: 24 or 36 *

Gain Range: -15dB to +15dB
Width Range: 0.05oct to 3.00oct
Freq Range: 20Hz to 20000Hz

Gain Step Size: 0.1dB
Width Step Size: 0.01oct
Freq Step Size (<1kHz): 0.1Hz
Freq Step Size (>1kHz): 1Hz or 10Hz **


* With these units number of bands is not fixed, because you can chain many processing blocks. For my use I want 24 bands (two 12 band processing blocks chained). But I think 36 could also make sense.

** This is the second thing that is a little tricky. The displayed step size is 10Hz but the actual processing resolution is finer.
For example after entering 1006Hz and 1014Hz in the control software they both get displayed as 1.01kHz but in the graph you can see the curve move when switching between them. I think I would prefer 1 Hz resolution, but either is fine.


It's the same for all units from this series, so Soundweb 9088, 9088II, 9088IIs, 9008, 9008IIs, 9000, 9000IIs and 3088
Also good chance it is the same for the later Soundweb London BLU series as well as some other BSS kit.
Cheers and thank you

The BSS Soundweb model clearly deserves to be added to the REW EQ assistant. After calibrated feedback loop measurements, it appears that the algorithm is identical to the existing StormAudio model, except for the width/Q relationship.
