Setting the Bandwidth
The L-MID and H-MID bands are peaking type equalizers. The LOW and
HIGH bands are initially configured as shelving type equalizers, however,
they can also be configured as peaking type equalizers. The LOW band can
also be configured as a HPF (high-pass filter) and the HIGH band as a LPF
(low-pass filter).
1. Select the bandwidth (Q) icon for the LOW band using the
CURSOR buttons.
2. Use the encoder wheel to sweep through the bandwidth.
You can also adjust the “Q” rotary encoder of the EQUALIZER controls to
achieve the same effect.
The LOW band changes from low-shelving to peaking to high-pass filter as
you continue to rotate the encoder wheel.
3. As you rotate the encoder wheel counterclockwise, it effectively
increases the Q – narrowing the bandwidth, as shown on the EQ
graph.
A narrow curve is useful for boosting or cutting specific frequencies.
4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the bandwidth (Q) icon for the
L-MID band and adjust its position with the encoder wheel. Select
and adjust the bandwidth of the other bands.
You can also select the different bands using the [L-MID], [H-MID], and
[HIGH/LPF] buttons of the SELECTED CHANNEL – EQUALIZER
controls. Adjust the “Q” rotary encoder for each band.
The HIGH band changes from high-shelving to peaking to low-pass filter
as you adjust its value.
