5.2: PARAMETRIC EQ

EQ adjusts the amplitude of an audio signal at particular frequencies. Ui input channels, FX Return

channels, and Sub Group master channels have a four-band parametric EQ, plus High Pass Filter

(HPF), and a De-Esser controlled from the same screen. The display also incorporates an optional

Real Time Analyser (RTA), which shows a spectral view of the incoming signal. In addition, the EQ can

beswitchedtoathree-band(xedfrequency,xedQ)‘EasyEQ’.

EASY EQ ON/OFF

Turn Easy EQ feature on or off

Easy EQ is a three-band, ﬁxed frequency, ﬁxed Q mode with a Mid bell-type band plus low and high shelving

bands. Switching Easy EQ OFF preserves the ‘curve’ in the parametric EQ, However, turning Easy EQ ON resets

the current curve because parametric EQ settings cannot be mapped to the Easy EQ format.

RTA - REAL TIME ANALYSER

Turn RTA feature on or off

The RTA display shows a real-time spectral view of incoming audio. This is sometimes useful for targeting speciﬁc

characteristics with EQ bands quickly. Note that RTA is only active on one channel at a time. If activated it will

deactivate any other channel’s active RTA (on other clients)

DE-ESSER ON/OFF

Turn De-Esser processing on or off

When o, no draggable De-Esser ball will be shown in the main EQ graphic interface.
