Equalizer
The Digital Recording Console 02R is equipped with a four-band, fully
parametric equalizer, with variable bandwidth, center frequency, gain, and
ON/OFF parameters.
EQ can be applied to the input channels (MIC/LINE 1 through 16, LINE
17/18 through 23/24), the tape and effect return channels (TAPE 1 through
16, EFF1 and EFF2), and the stereo output. For stereo channels, the
equalization curve is applied equally to both channels.
Display Screen
Shown below is the EQUALIZER display function:
Similar to the VIEW display function, the EQUALIZER display function
shows the equalization for the currently selected channel only.
The top of the display shows the EQ library icon, the equalization curve,
and a level meter for the currently selected channel pair. The vertical dotted
line in the equalization curve indicates the center frequency of the selected
band.
The bottom of the display contains the control icons for adjusting the
parameters for the currently selected channel:
ATT – The attenuator rotary icon is used to set the channel level.
EQ ON icon – Indicates the status of the equalizer, on or off. The text
“ON” is highlighted in reverse video when the equalizer is on.
Note: The attenuator rotary icon is adjusting the same parameter as in the
/ATT display function. When you boost the gain of the equalization curve,
you may cause the overall signal level to reach CLIP. Watch the level meters
for the selected pair as you adjust the equalizer values. If CLIP is reached,
digital signal distortion will occur.
