67 - 11-BAND STEREO GRAPHIC EQUALIZER

The master channel employs a 11-band stereo equalizer, which gets activated through the use of the ON button. The EQ’s insert point is post master fader and pre power amplifier. The EQ is bypassed when the EQ ON switch is not locked in its “ON” position. Eleven frequency bands offering 10 dB amplification/attenuation and a quality of Q = 2 allow shap- ing the overall sound to meet your personal preferences or to optimally match it to the acoustic conditions of different locations.

GEQ setting instructions:

The frequency ranges as well as the characteristics of the EQ faders are very praxis-oriented. In case you want to have a clear and highly intelligible sound, which, as a side effect, provides the cymbals with more crisp, you should raise the levels of the 12 kHz or 6.3 kHz band a bit. If the MIDs are nasaling you should attenuate the mid range (630 Hz to

2.5kHz) by some decibels. To provide the kick drum with more punch you have to boost the low frequency range, using the 63 Hz or the 125 Hz controls. In case the overall sound is undefined with too much bass, lowering the levels of these two frequency bands will solve the problem.

However, especially with equalization you should be aware of the fact that in most cases less adjustments provide better results. Thus, your first choice should be to establish the mix using only the input channel controls and see if you get a satisfactory result. If so, you can use the graphic EQ for the MONITOR bus, where in most cases it is more needed.

68 - GRAPHIC EQ TO MASTER / MON 1/2

This LED indicate if the 11 band GEQ is used for the master channel (MASTER LED lights green), for one monitor channel (MON 1 or MON 2 LED lights green) or both monitor channels (MON 1 and MON 2 LED lights green). The latter is espe- cially useful if similar monitor speakers are used for both monitor channels. Please see page 31 for changing the Graphic EQ Routing.
