EQ and Dynamics

Reference Manual

7 Dynamics type buttons

Enables you to select the dynamics type. You can choose from the following dynamics

types.

• Dynamics 1 for an input channel

GATE, DUCKING, COMPRESSOR, EXPANDER

• Dynamics 2 for an input channel

COMPRESSOR, COMPANDER-H, COMPANDER-S, DE-ESSER

• Dynamics 1 for an output channel

COMPRESSOR, EXPANDER, COMPANDER-H, COMPANDER-S

8 Dynamics graph

Displays the input/output response of the dynamics processors.

9 Dynamics parameter setting knobs

Indicates the dynamics parameter values. You can adjust the values by using the

multifunction knobs. The type of parameters will vary depending on the currently-

selected dynamics type.

•GATE or DUCKING:

• COMPRESSOR or EXPANDER:

• COMPANDER-H or COMPANDER-S:

• DE-ESSER:

0 Dynamics IN/OUT level meters, GR meter

These meters indicate the peak level of the signals before and after the dynamics

processing, and the amount of gain reduction. For a stereo channel, these meters

indicate the level of both the L and R channels.

A KEY IN SOURCE select button

Press this button to display the KEY IN SOURCE window, in which you can select a key-

in signal that will trigger the dynamics.

• SELF PRE EQ ......... The pre-EQ signal of the same channel

• SELF POST EQ....... The post-EQ signal of the same channel

• MIX OUT 21-24 ........ Output signals of MIX channels 21-24

• CH 1-72 POST EQ, ST IN 1L-8R POST EQ, MIX 1-24 POST EQ,

MTRX 1-8 POST EQ, ST L/R, MONO POST EQ

........ The post-EQ signal of the corresponding channel

*1 Choose from a group of eight channels.

NOTE

In the case of the CL3/CL1, channels that do not exist on those models will not be shown.

B KEY IN FILTER parameter area (Displayed only for Gate or Ducking)

Enables you to make various settings for a filter that lets the key-in signal pass.

• Filter select buttons ............. Select the type of filter from HPF, BPF, or LPF. To

disable the filter, press the button that is turned on.

• Q knob................................... Indicates the filter Q. You can adjust the value by using

the multifunction knob.

• FREQUENCY knob ............... Indicates the filter cutoff frequency. You can adjust the

value by using the multifunction knob.

C KEY IN CUE button

Enables you to cue-monitor the signal that has been selected as the KEY IN SOURCE

signal. Cue will be canceled if you have selected a dynamics type that does not feature

this button, or if you move to a different screen.

D Tabs

Use these tabs to select a channel that you want to view on the screen.
