FRONT PANEL

The Nady PEQ-5B has five parametric filters organized in five different frequency bands. A 12-segment LED display shows the input or output level, and there is both a master low-cut and high-cut filter.

1. POWER SWITCH

To turn the unit ON or OFF, press the upper or lower portion of this button.

2. MASTER INPUT/OUTPUT LEVEL METER DISPLAY

This 12-segment LED meter is used to monitor the signal lev- els, so as to avoid overload distortion. The display shows the input or output level as selected by the AUDIO IN/OUT switch (INPUT is selected with the switch pressed in). The top red LED lights at a level of about +18 dB, which is about 3 dB below clipping.

(Note: Extreme boost settings in combination with a high input level can cause overload clipping. If this happens, reduce the input level as necessary with the INPUT control.)

3.MASTER AUDIO IN/OUT SWITCH WITH LED INDICATOR This is used to enable/disable the entire equalizer section in the audio path, allowing A/B comparisons between the processed and unprocessed signals. The switch uses a relay- controlled hard-bypass function, so that if it is not pressed in or if the unit is switched off, the inputs are directly connected to the outputs. The switch also selects the input or output sig- nal for display on the INPUT/OUTPUT LEVEL meter. The LED lights when the switch is IN.

4. MASTER INPUT CONTROL

Use this CONTROL TO DETERMINE THE INPUT LEVEL TO THE UNIT. It can be set from -15 to + 15dB.

5. MASTER LOW CUT CONTROL

Use this control to adjust the lower cutoff frequency of the PEQ-5B. The high pass filter can be tuned from 10 to 400 Hz. In the 10 Hz position the signal passes unchanged.

6. MASTER HIGH CUT CONTROL

Use this control to adjust the upper cutoff frequency of the unit. The low-pass filter can be tuned from 2.5 to 30 KHz. In the 30 KHz position the signal passes unchanged.

7. BAND LEVEL CONTROLS

Use this control to determine the amount of level boost/cut for each band. The setting ranges from -15 to + 15 dB.

8.BAND IN/OUT SWITCHES WITH LED INDICATORS Use these switches to enable/disable specific bands in the audio path. The LED lights when the switch is IN.

9.BANDWIDTH CONTROLS

Use these controls to determine the "Q" or slope of the filter in each band. Settings range from 0.03 (Q=43) to 2 octaves (Q=0.67).

10. BAND FREQUENCY CONTROLS

Use these controls to select the filter's center frequency in each band. This can be any frequency within that band's frequency range.
