Graphic EQ
Basic graphic EQ operations
There are two ways to control a graphic EQ; using the virtual faders and buttons within the display, or using the DCA faders of
the panel.
Here’s how to control the desired GEQ module by using
the faders and buttons shown in the GEQ PARAM screen
(GEQ function).
1
In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly
press the [GEQ] key to access the GEQ PARAM
screen.
2
Click the / buttons at the left and right of
the MODULE box to select the GEQ module
you want to operate.
At this time make sure that the GEQ ON/OFF button
is on. Also make sure that the corresponding module is
inserted into an appropriate channel, and that insert-
in/out is enabled for that channel.
Hint
• The upper part of the GEQ PARAM screen functions as a
spectrum analyzer. If a signal is being input to the corre-
sponding channel, the level of each frequency band is
displayed in realtime.
• As an alternate way to select the desired GEQ module, you
can use the GEQ ASSIGN screen (GEQ function) ( ➥ p.157).
3
If desired, use the buttons of the LIMIT area to
specify the variable range of the faders.
The LIMIT area lets you select the maximum amount
and direction of the change controlled by the faders.
You can select ±15 dB/±12 dB/±6 dB (both boost and
cut directions) or –24 dB (cut only).
4
Drag the faders in the lower part of the screen
to adjust the amount of boost/cut.
The value of each fader is shown by the box below it.
Hint
Clicking the EQ FLAT button below the LIMIT area will reset
all faders to 0 dB.
Here’s how to control the graphic EQ using the keys and
faders of the panel DCA strip. In this case, the correspond-
ing GEQ module is divided into six regions for control.
1
In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly
press the [GEQ] key to access the GEQ PARAM
screen.
2
Click the / buttons at the left and right of
the MODULE box to select the GEQ module
you want to operate.
At this time, make sure that the GEQ ON/OFF button
is turned on. Also make sure that the corresponding
module is inserted into an appropriate channel, and
that insert is enabled for that channel.
Hint
When the GEQ PARAM screen is displayed, pressing the
[SEL] key of a channel in which a GEQ module is inserted will
recall the corresponding GEQ module in the screen.
3
Use the buttons of the LIMIT area to select the
maximum amount and direction of the change
controlled by the faders.
4
In the lower part of the screen, click a button
in the ASSIGN TO FADERS area to select the
region you will control from the DCA faders.
The buttons in the ASSIGN TO FADERS area corre-
spond to the following frequency regions.
