NOTE
• When a fader in the Channel Strip section is set to the center (flat) position, the corresponding
[ON] key indicator will turn off. This indicates that the corresponding band is not being modified.
If you raise or lower the fader even the slightest amount, the [ON] key will light, indicating that this
band has been modified.
If you press a lit [ON] key to make it go dark, the corresponding band will immediately return to
the flat state. If you press the [ON] key once again, the value that was modified is shown.
• If you switch the display to a different screen, the fader assignments in the Channel Strip section
will forcibly be defeated. However if you once again display the same rack, the group of bands
you had previously been controlling will automatically be assigned to the faders.
• When you close the GEQ window, the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field automatically turn off.
GEQ EDIT window (15BandGEQ)
This window is the same as that for the 31BandGEQ, except that the AVAILABLE BANDS
parameter box indicates the real-time number of additional bands (maximum 15) that
can be controlled in the current GEQ.
For a rack in which a Flex15GEQ is mounted, the rack switch tabs will be split as xA and
xB (x is the rack number).
About AUTOMIXER
Automixer is included as a standard feature on the QL series. Automixer searches for enabled
mics and automatically optimizes gain distribution, for uses such as speeches without scripts.
This allows uniform system gain to be maintained among multiple mics, freeing the engineer
from making constant fader adjustments.
Automixer operating principle
With the Dugan speech system used in Automixer, you can automatically adjust the gain for
multiple mics used for speeches.
The Dugan speech system functions differently from a limiter or auto level controller. When
multiple people are speaking, the engineer mixes the gain for each mic using the faders
conventionally. Even if nobody is speaking, the system searches for mic audio and
automatically distributes gain. Therefore, faders can leave in their raised positions.
STEP
1. Press the rack container in which you mounted Flex15GEQ.
2. Press the GEQ ON/OFF button to turn the Flex15GEQ on.
3. Press one of the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field to select the group of bands you
will control.
4. Use the faders in the Channel Strip section to adjust the selected band.
5. When you’ve finished making settings, turn off the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN
field.
When 1 person speaks on multiple mics When 2 people speak on multiple mics
When 1 person is speaking, the gain on the mic
being used is immediately increased and the gain
on all other mics is reduced. The same operation
occurs even if another person is speaking.
If 2 people are speaking at the same time, gain is
automatically distributed so that the total gain is
consistent across both mics, and the gain on the
remaining mic is reduced.
