Detailed Parameters Section 4

4.9 SEQ

When in the broadband mode, not only do you have access to the equalizer but also another EQ in the sidechain. Having EQ in the sidechain lets you boost or cut various frequencies prior to the dynamics processor detector. Cutting low-end in the sidechain will mean the detection circuit will see less low-end, thus the signal will be compressed based on it's high frequency content.º

Within the SEQ menu on the QUANTUM the following parameters are user adjustable: Press the EQ/XOVER button twice when in non-multiband mode to access the SEQ.

Schain EQ On/Off

This control turns all 5 bands on/off.

Type Const Q / Adapt Q

This controls all 5 bands. All bands must use the same Q type.

SEQ1 FC 20.0 Hz to 20.0 kHz

This controls the corner frequency for the low frequency shelving EQ band.

Slope 3 to 12 dB / Octave

Sets the slope of the shelf.

Level -12 to + 12 dB

Amount of boost or cut. Adjustable in 1/2 dB steps.

SEQ2, 3, 4 FC 20.0 Hz to 20.0 kHz

This controls the center point for the parametric EQ.

Q 0.25 to 16.0

Sets the width of the boost / cut.

Level -12 to + 12 dB

Amount of boost or cut. Adjustable in 1/2 dB steps.

SEQ5 FC 20.0 Hz to 20.0 kHz

This controls the corner frequency for the high frequency shelving EQ band.
