Generate Second Order Curve using Q and Resonance Freq???

I would like to generate a curve based on a second order low pass. Attached is the filter and response from LTspice.
If I understand correctly, this combination of components gives me...

Resonance Freq 251hz
Q .95
Bandwidth 365hz

Using the Eq Generic Extended option, can I use these variables to create the same curve in REW? Or am I completely misunderstanding Q.

Thanks, Mike

The LPQ filter is a second order low pass with adjustable Q, that's available in the generic and extended equaliser options.

Sooooo obvious! Thanks!

I'm sure there is a better way to do this, but I stumbled upon the Trace arithmetic A*B conjugate command. I can now take a raw driver measurement and apply this voltage curve to simulate the approximate acoustic response of a second order passive filter before ordering parts.

Again, thanks.

Use AxB for that, AxB conj is for cross correlation. You can also just look at the predicted trace on the EQ window.
