The M7CL lets you mount a GEQ in racks 1–8 and patch
it to the insert-out/in of a channel. The gain of each band
can be adjusted using the Centralogic section’s faders and
[ON] keys.
The following two types of GEQ are provided.
• 31BandGEQ
...........This is a monaural 31-band GEQ. Each
band is 1/3 octave wide, the adjustable
gain range is ±15 dB, and the gain of all
thirty-one bands can be adjusted. If a
31BandGEQ is mounted in a rack, one
channel of input and output can be used
for that rack.
• Flex15GEQ
...........This is a monaural 15-band GEQ. Each
band is 1/3 octave wide, and the adjust-
able gain range is ±15 dB. The
Flex15GEQ lets you adjust the gain for
any fifteen of the same bands as the
thirty-one bands of the 31BandGEQ.
(Once you’ve used up fifteen bands of
adjustment, you won’t be able to adjust
the gain of another band until you reset
a previously-adjusted band to the flat
setting.)
A rack for which the Flex15GEQ is
selected will have two Flex15GEQ units
(shown as “A” and “B” respectively)
mounted in that rack, and will allow two
channels of input and output. If you
mount a Flex15GEQ in each rack, you’ll
be able to use up to sixteen GEQ units
simultaneously.
The M7CL’s GEQ units can be patched to the insert-in/out
of any channel except the ST IN channels. Here’s how to
insert a GEQ into the selected channel for use.

As described in “Virtual rack operations”
( → p. 172) steps 1–6, mount a GEQ in a rack
and set its input source and output destina-
tion.
The rack shown in the GEQ/EFFECT field indicates
the approximate GEQ settings and the input/output
levels. A rack in which a Flex15GEQ is mounted will
show information for two GEQ units (A and B).

•If you’re using a stereo source, you can mount a Flex15GEQ,
or mount two 31BandGEQ units in adjacent odd-numbered/
even-numbered racks. This will let you link the two GEQ units
in a later step.

•The popup windows for the 31BandGEQ and the Flex15GEQ
are nearly identical. However, the Flex15GEQ individually dis-
plays two GEQ units (A and B) mounted in a single rack.
