3 Basics of Equalization

Program

If you want to cancel any action in progress and return to Program mode, just press the [PROGRAM] button.

Value Encoder (VALUE)

On far right side you’ll find a knob marked [VALUE], which is used to edit the gain amount of the frequency you have selected with the [BAND SELECT] buttons. (It is also possible to select and edit several frequencies at once, as you’ll see later.) The [VALUE] encoder is also used for all sorts of data entry, such as selecting programs and curves, changing global parameter values and so forth. Changes made with the [VALUE] encoder are reflected in the Numerical LED Display to the left of the knob.

Numerical LED Display

The three-digit LED display you see to the left of the [VALUE] encoder is always showing either a value or an abbreviated name. To help you know at a glance what sort of information the display is giving you, there are three green LEDs immediately below the Numerical LED Display:

PROG	If this LED is lit, this means the value in the
	display is a program number. You will see this
	when the unit is in Program mode or Store
	mode.
CURVE	When lit, this LED indicates that the number
	in the display is telling you which curve has
	been chosen.
dB	This LED tells you that the value in the
	display pertains to a gain change.

The only time that none of these LEDs will be lit is when the DEQ830 is in Utility mode.
