Touring the VM200

[EQ EDIT] Keys

The [EQ EDIT] keys enable you to select channels for parameter edit- ing.

When you press an [EQ EDIT] key, the VM200 displays the EQ EDIT function page for the selected channel (for example, EQ EDIT CH2).

This function page includes parameters that control a four-band parametric equalizer. The bands are LO, LO-MID, HI-MID, and HI.

You can adjust the equalization by rotating the [GAIN], [FREQ], and [Q] controls for each band.

For more information, refer to the table below, which describes the function of the [EQ EDIT] key in different Fader Modes.

The VM200 EQ section is horizontally subdivided into four sections: EQ-LO, EQ/LO-MID, EQ/HI-MID, and EQ HI.

Each band features three knobs labelled Gain, Freq, and Q that con- trol the parametric equalizer in EQ Edit mode.

The Gain rotary control sets the gain of the input preamps.

The Freq rotary control specifies the frequency.

The Q rotary controls adjust the selectivity of a filter. A narrow fre- quency band indicates a high Q value; a wide frequency band indi- cates a low Q values. (In the response curve, notice how a bell-shaped curve grows wider as Q decreases.)

However, like many VM200 controls, in other operational modes the EQ section knobs serve multiple purposes. For example, in Channel Edit mode, the [FREQ] and [Q] knobs control the channels pan posi- tion.
