The range and direction of adjustment controlled by

the faders can be selected from the following: ±15 dB,

±12 dB, ±6 dB (these are valid in both the boost and

cut directions), or –24 dB (valid only in the cut

direction).

this button, a confirmation message will appear.

This button automates assignments to the DCA faders.

If this button is on, the most recently selected region of

GEQ bands will be assigned to the DCA faders when

you access the GEQ PARAM screen.

❏When parametric EQ is selected

QASSIGN TO SELECTED CH ON/OFF button

This switches the assignment to the SELECTED

CHANNEL section on/off.

Note

If the AUTO ASSIGN button is off, switching the screen will

make the ASSIGN TO SELECTED CH ON/OFF button turn

off, and you’ll be able to use the SELECTED CHANNEL sec-

tion to operate the parameters of the currently selected

channel.

RAUTO ASSIGN

This button automates assignment to the SELECTED

CHANNEL section. If you leave this button turned on,

the selected frequency band will be assigned to the

SEQ TYPE

This selects the EQ type. Turn the TYPE I button on to

choose the algorithm used in conventional Yamaha

digital mixers, or turn the TYPE II button on to choose

a newly-developed algorithm. Using TYPE II will

decrease the interference between bands.

TEQ graph

This graph shows the approximate response of the EQ

parameters. The colored vertical line shows the FREQ

(center frequency) of the band at which the cursor is

located. (The color of each line is the same as the mark-

ings around the knob of each band.) When you edit the

Q or GAIN (gain) of each band, the response curve will

change accordingly.

UEQ FLAT

This resets the GAIN parameter of all bands to the ini-

tial value (±0.0 dB). When you click this button, a

confirmation message will appear.

VLOWER/UPPER

These indicators show which four bands (LOWER or

UPPER) are selected in the SELECTED CHANNEL

section of the panel. The text is shown in yellow to

indicate the set of bands that is selected.

WKnobs

For each band, these knobs adjust the Q, the FREQ

(center frequency), and GAIN (amount of boost/cut).

XBYPASS

This button bypasses each band of the EQ.

Y (LOW shelving)

If this button is on, the LOW EQ will be switched to a

shelving-type. The Q knob will disappear.

ZHPF (High Pass Filter)

If this button is on, the LOW EQ will operate as a high

pass filter. The Q knob will disappear, and the GAIN

knob will be used to turn the HPF on/off.

aLPF (Low Pass Filter)

pass filter. The Q knob will disappear, and the GAIN

knob will be used to turn the LPF on/off.

shelving-type. The Q knob will disappear.
