SETUP

GRAPHIC EQ SCREEN

The Graphic EQ screen is used to adjust equalization for each of the processing channels (Output 1 & Output 2). Up to 28 bands of equalization, plus high-pass & low-pass filters, are available per channel. NOTE: Parametric & Graphic equalization techniques may be used simultaneously on the same channel, as long as the total number of bands per channel does not exceed 28. Default operation of the Graphic EQ is 1/3-octave, 28-bands, and ISO standard center frequencies. Therefore, gain for each band can be simply adjusted by dragging the square cursors up or down inside the upper graph area. Flat erases all graphic bands, setting all faders to the center line. Right-clicking provides a menu of copy/paste functions, which allows settings of the 28 bands, plus high-pass & low-pass filters, to be copied from one channel to the other, or to another unit. Bands Used & Bands Available are shown above. The lower graph area shows the cumulative effect of all equalization. ‘Meters’ are provided on each channel to display input/output levels at the EQ section. EQ Mode selects either Parametric or Graphic equalization (see Parametric EQ Screen on previous page). HPF Slope enables a High-Pass Filter by selecting a desired slope. LPF Slope enables a Low-Pass Filter by selecting a desired slope. Once a High-Pass Filter or Low-Pass Filter is enabled, a square cursor appears in the upper graph area to allow frequency adjustment for that filter. The effect of High-Pass & Low- Pass Filters is also shown in the lower graph area. NOTE: HPF & LPF are NOT affected by the Flat button. They may only be deleted by means of their individual menu boxes. Bypass EQ defeats all parametric & graphic equalization filters for that channel, without changing actual settings.
