The EQ Alias
Programming Aliases
Assigning Record Outputs
The EQ alias also deserves special mention: if your loudspeaker requires a dedicated equaliser for proper operation (or if you have any other reason for using an EQ much of the time), you may connect the outputs of the equalizer to the input named “EQ.” By “recording” the source you wish to listen to (selecting it on the record path), and montioring the EQ input, you will be able to run all signals through the equalizer prior at a line level. This is usually preferable to simply placing the EQ between the preamp and the power amp, as most equalizers perform best at a (fixed) line level.
Since, in this scenario, you would spend most of your time in the record path (selecting the source to be equalized) rather than the monitor path, we have enabled the volume control function in the record path when the input selected on the monitor path is named EQ. Thus, you may adjust the volume of the selected source without having to push the mode button twice to return to the monitor path.
To change the alias of any particular input, follow these steps:
1IN THE MONITOR MODE, SELECT THE INPUT YOU WISH TO RENAME
2PRESS AND HOLD THE MODE BUTTON…
on the front panel until the display reads SET DATA, as below:
3RELEASE THE MODE BUTTON; PRESS THE CHOSEN INPUT BUTTON REPEATEDLY…
until the Alias you desire appears in the display.
4PRESS AND HOLD THE MODE BUTTON AGAIN…
until the display reads NEW DATA, as shown below. (Note: see Step 5 below if you have selected an alias of a device capable of recording.) This indicates that your new alias for that input has been stored in
5IF YOUR ALIAS MAY REQUIRE AN INPUT…
You will be further prompted to associate a particular Record Output with this particular device. Instead of showing “NEW DATA,” the Display will read “RCD: NONE” as shown below.
