# Tuning Beams in Plan **System Designer EQs** offer powerful EQ capabilities directly within the tuning workflow. EQing in Plan help users create beams that sound good before stepping on site. #### Adding EQ You can now add **beam-specific EQs** from within the *Tuning* tab of Plan. Simply click the EQ icon to open the EQ panel, where you can configure up to **6 bands per beam**. Each EQ band gives you full control over: * **Type** – such as bell, high pass, low shelf, etc. * **Frequency** * **Gain** * **Q factor** You can choose from predefined filter shapes or tailor the parameters to meet your specific acoustic goals. This gives System Designers more control over the tonal balance of each beam, allowing you to address artistic requirements, environmental challenges, or project-specific tuning preferences early in the design process. #### Export-ready via IFIR Behind the scenes, each beam's EQ configuration is distilled into a single **IFIR (Interpolated Finite Impulse Response)** filter when the project is exported to HOLOPLOT Control. #### Visual feedback in simulation Changes made via System Designer EQs are reflected in Plan’s simulation results. This gives you immediate visual confirmation of how your EQ choices impact system performance. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
