EQ and Dynamics
Each input channel and output channel on a QL series console provides a four-band EQ and
dynamics.
EQ can be used on all input channels and all output channels. An attenuator is provided
immediately before the EQ, allowing you to attenuate the level of the input signal so that the
GAIN setting for EQ will not cause the signal to clip. Input channels also provide a high-pass
filter that is independent of the EQ.
Input channels provide two dynamics processors: Dynamics 1 can be used as a gate, ducking
device, compressor, or expander, while Dynamics 2 can be used as a compressor, hard
compander, soft compander, or de-esser. Output channels provide one dynamics processor,
which can be used as a compressor, expander, hard compander, or soft compander.
Using EQ
This section explains the four-band EQ that is provided on input channels and output
channels.
NOTE
• The EQ field in the OVERVIEW screen shows the response of the EQ. In this OVERVIEW screen,
you can edit the parameter by using the EQ knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.
• EQ settings can be saved and recalled at any time using the dedicated library. You can also take
advantage of a wide variety of presets suitable for various instruments or situations.
• You can also access the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen, and use the knobs in the
SELECTED CHANNEL section to edit the EQ and high-pass filter (page 8).
• Even when the HPF/EQ window is displayed, you can use the knobs in the SELECTED
CHANNEL section to control the EQ.
HPF/EQ window (1ch)
This lets you edit all EQ parameters of the currently-selected channel. This is convenient if
you want to make detailed EQ settings for a specific channel.
1 Channel icon/Channel number/Channel name
This area indicates the icon, number and name of the currently-selected channel.
2 LOW SHELVING ON/OFF button
Turn on this button to select the shelving-type filter for the LOW band.
3 HPF ON/OFF button (Output channels only)
Turn on this button to switch the LOW band to a high pass filter.
NOTE
Output channels do not feature a high-pass filter that is independent of the EQ. However, you can
turn on the high-pass filter button on the window to use the LOW band EQ as a high-pass filter.
STEP
1. Use the Bank Select keys and the [SEL] keys to select the channel that you want to
control.
2. Press the EQ graph field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen.
3. Press the 1ch tab in the HPF/EQ window.
4. Press the EQ ON button, and adjust the EQ parameters.
