GRAPHIC EQUALIZER
OPERATORS MANUAL
WEAR PARTS: is product contains no wear parts.
QUICK START
We know you know how to use an equalizer. Just read this sec-
tion for the unique things to be aware of in the DEQ 60L.
We know you know how to use a realtime analyzer, but using
PER FECT-Q mode will make that job a lot easier. Since there is
no interaction between lters, the multiple adjustments through
all the bands just to get the analyzer to read at is a thing of the
past. One pass should do the trick. en use the TONE controls
or CUT FILTERS for general sweetening. We know your sound
is important and your time is valuable.
If you want to compare the sound of your old (non-Rane) EQ
to this one, and you are used to the way the slider bands interact,
then use PROPORTIONAL-Q mode.
Activating the CUT-ONLY switch puts both equalizer chan-
nels in the high resolution CUT 0 to -12 dB (gray number scale).
To prevent unwanted sudden volume shifts when switched, the
outputs mute for a moment, then slowly increases in volume.
e A and B switches are like memories or control assigns.
Normal stereo use would set the top row A (Left), and the bot-
tom row to B (Right). But if you are running in stereo, and both

sides use the same EQ curve, you can set both switches to A.
Now the top EQ curve controls both left and right channels.
Switching these to B will use the bottom EQ curve for both
channels. is is great for switching EQ when a source changes.
Just be aware of where these switches are, an unassigned EQ row
will have no audible eect. ese switches also aect the CUT
FILTERS, TONE CONTROLS, and LEVELS.
e channel BYPASS switches have two modes, set by the
rear panel switch. When set to FILTERS, the BYPASS switch
only bypasses the EQ, TONE and CUT FILTERS. e LEVEL
controls and other switches remain active. When set to ALL,
the BYPASS switches ignore everything including the LEVEL
controls.
You have several connector choices on the rear. However, use
only ONE type of INPUT on each channel. ese Inputs do not
sum. But you may use any combination of OUTPUTS simulta-
neously if desired. Polarity convention on the XLR jacks is pin 2
positive, pin 3 negative and pin 1 shield (chassis ground).
