Notes

The frequency graphics give a precise overview of the filter results. Overlapping filters influence

each other. This can be used to achieve more than 12 dB gain, or to generate difficult frequency

response optimizations.

The ADI-2 DAC has an internal headroom of 24 dB. Extreme boosts with overlapping filters

could cause an internal overload. Such an overload will be visible as it is displayed by the level

meter below the EQ, as well as the channel’s level meter. Reducing the output volume will pre-

vent any clipping as long as the headroom of 24 dB is not exceeded. In real-world operation

that is always the case, the ADI-2 DAC will not distort internally.

Pushing the EQ key a second time brings up the EQ Enable / Presets screen. In this screen

the EQ can be switched on and off, and EQ presets can be stored and loaded comfortably.

EQ Enable

Default: OFF. Options are ON, OFF, L, R (L and R are only available with Dual EQ activated).

Preset Select

Load or store up to 20 different EQ settings. The first choice,

Manual, holds the current, unsaved EQ settings. The

second choice, Temp, holds the settings of a loaded and

then modified Preset. This scheme lets the user easily

change and compare three different EQ settings: the manual

one, the 20 stored presets and the modified preset, without

loosing changes while listening to a different set of EQ set-

tings.

The last entry (21, Clear) corresponds to the factory default with all bands at 0 dB. It is not

available to store a preset, but is used for resetting one by overwriting. A preset reset in this

way, resulting in an 'empty' preset, is marked with (lin).

The presets are independent from and not stored with Setups (see chapter 14.2). EQ Presets

are therefore always available, no matter which Setup has been loaded. The Setup does in-

clude the current EQ setting, which on load is written into the memory slot Manual.

Name

Allows to edit the name of the current preset and to edit the

name during the store process. Turn encoder 2 to select a

letter, number or symbol, then press encoder 2 briefly to

enter the next sign. After the last sign the cursor jumps to

the field Store to. The name can consist of up to 14 signs.

Turning encoder 1 gives access to all existing preset

names, so copying and modifying a preset can be done

more quickly.

Changing the name is always stored immediately during editing, without further confirmation.

Leaving this field the name is automatically adjusted to the right. Adding signs to the front and

rear is possible afterwards. A quick turn to the left brings up space, which is also used to quickly

delete letters. Available signs are:

Space, Aa to Zz, + - / ( ) * ; : . , ! # $ & < > = ' I @, 0 - 9

Save to

Use encoder 2 to select the slot where the current preset should be stored to. To store press

and hold encoder 2 for one second.
