About the GEQs
The DM2000 features six 31-band graphic equalizers that can be inserted into the Bus Outs,
Aux Sends, or the left or right channels of the Matrix Sends or Stereo Out. GEQs can be
linked for simultaneous operation. GEQ settings can be stored in the GEQ library, which
contains 1 preset memory and 128 user memories. See “GEQ Library” on page 168 for more
information.
Editing GEQs
GEQs can be edited as follows.
1Press the EFFECTS/PLUG INS [GRAPHIC EQUALIZERS] button.
2Use the EFFECTS/PLUG INS [1–6] buttons to select the GEQs.
3Use the EFFECTS/PLUG INS [DISPLAY] button to locate the GEQ Edit page.
4Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters, and use the Parameter
wheel, INC/DEC buttons, and [ENTER] button to set them.
ON/OFF: This is used to turn on and off the currently selected GEQ.
INSERT: This selects the Output Channel (Bus Out, Aux Send, or left or right channel of a
Matrix Send or the Stereo Out) into which the GEQ is inserted. This parameter can also be
set on the Output Channel Insert page (see page 135) or the Graphic Equalizer Insert page
(see page 82).
LINK: These buttons are used to link the currently selected GEQ with another GEQ for
simultaneous operation. The buttons of GEQs that are already linked are unavailable. When
you press a button to link to a GEQ, the settings of the currently selected GEQ are copied to
that GEQ.
FADER ASSIGN: Use the channel faders to set the gain for each band, much like an analog
graphic equalizer. Selecting the 20.0–4.0k button assigns a lower range to the channel fad-
ers; selecting the 100–20.0k button assigns a higher range.
LIMIT: This determines the maximum amount of boost and cut for the currently selected
GEQ. It can be set to ±15 dB, ±12 dB, ±6 dB, or –24 dB.
FLAT: Pressing this resets all bands of the currently selected GEQ to 0 dB.
Meters: These meters display pre-GEQ and post-GEQ signal levels.
CURVE: This graphically displays the settings of the currently selected GEQ.
Faders: These are used to boost and cut the level of each band. The currently selected band
can be reset to 0 dB by pressing [ENTER].
FREQUENCY: This indicates the frequency of the currently selected band.
GAIN: This indicates the gain setting of the currently selected band.
