4-band EQ

4-band EQ

The AW2400 provides 4-band parametric equalization (LOW, LO-MID, HI-MID, HIGH) on the channels listed below.

•	Input	•	Track	•	Bus Master
•	Effect Return	•	Stereo Output	•	AUX Send Master

The LO-MID and HI-MID bands provide peaking EQ control, while the LOW and HIGH bands can be used in shelving, peaking or high-pass filter (LOW)/low-pass filter (HIGH) mode. EQ can be adjusted either by calling the PAN/EQ screen and using the graphic knobs, or by using the phys- ical controllers in the Selected Channel section.

The EQ/Att. page includes the following items.

1EQ ON/OFF button

Switches the EQ on/off.

BATT. (Attenuation) knob

Attenuates the signal immediately before the EQ stage over a range of -96 to 12.0 dB. This is used mainly to prevent the signal from clipping when you use the EQ to boost a specific frequency region.

CTYPE field

Selects the EQ algorithm type. When the TYPE I but- ton is on the same EQ algorithm that was used in the 02R is selected. The TYPE II button selects the latest EQ algorithm which provides minimum inter-band interference. TYPE II can only be selected for the track channels, stereo output channels, and bus master channels.

DResponse curve

Graphically indicates the approximate response of the EQ.

EOutput meter

Indicates the level of the signal after it has passed through the EQ.

FQ knobs

Specify the Q (steepness) at which each band (HIGH, HI-MID, LO-MID, LOW) will be boosted or cut. The range is 10–0.10, and higher settings will produce a steeper curve.

GF (Frequency) knobs

Specify the center frequency of the boost/cut, over a range of 21.2 Hz–20.0 kHz.

HG (Gain) knobs

Specify the amount of boost/cut, over a range of -18.0 dB to +18.0 dB.

4 To switch the EQ on, move the cursor to the EQ ON/OFF button and press the [ENTER] key.

5 When working on a track channel, stereo output channel, or bus master channel, the EQ type can be selected via the TYPE field.
