OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR GAMBIT EQUALIZER EQ1-DYN	OPERATION

OPERATION

The following explanations assume that the equalizer is in power-up mode, i.e. no menu is active. If a menu is active, press the “menu” key repeatedly until the status display appears.

Status Display

Key A

Key B

Key C

Key D

Graph 2: Status Display

The status display consists of four groups display- ing audio signal properties and information about the current state of the EQ1. The groups are situated adjacent to the softkeys to the right of the LCD (Graph 2).

Channel Status Group

Situated adjacent to key A, displays the following information:

sampling frequency in kHz: “44.1”, “ 48”, “88.2” or “96”

pre-emphasis: “E” appears if pre-emphasis is set (empty if not used)

input output channel status data format: “C” for consumer and “P” for professional

To change the output channel status data format, press key A and select format type or loop through.

Peak Group

Situated adjacent to key B, this group contains a peak-hold and an over-hold for each channel. To reset these values press key B twice.

Peak-Hold

The numeric peak value is measured relative to 0dBFS, where 0dB equals digital full scale.

Use this value to set the optimal gain for a specific session. Reset it for every session.

Over-Hold

Whenever an over is encountered, the boxes to the side of the peak-hold values are marked.

The functions of the over-LED’s and the over- hold both depend on the NUMBER OF CONSECUTIVE OVER-SAMPLES setting. To adjust this setting, press key B once. Use the “gain/ data” encoder to change the value, then press “menu” to return to the status display.

This setting defines the number of consecutive over-samples needed for an over-indication. To indicate every over-sample, enter 1. If another value is entered, you are still able to detect a sin- gle over-sample with the peak-hold function.

Over-samples are defined as exceeding the 24bit integer range. A full scale signal (0dBFS) will not be treated as over. A signal that triggered an over in a previous pro- cessor in the audio chain will therefore not trigger an over in the EQ1 (unless boosted).

Remote Group

Situated adjacent to key C, displays remote con- trol protocol (“MIDI”, “RS 232” or “RS 422”), channel (“1” - “16”) and status (on/ off, displayed with check box).

For remote control set-up see chapter Remote Control.
