EQ and Dynamics
This chapter explains the EQ (equalizer) and dynamics that are provided on each channel of the CL
series console.
About EQ and dynamics
Each input channel and output channel on a CL 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.
1. Use the Bank Select keys in the
Centralogic section to access the
OVERVIEW screen that includes
the channel for which you want to
control the EQ.
The EQ field 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.
2. If you want to edit while watching the ATT/HPF/EQ parameter values, press the EQ
field in the OVERVIEW screen to access the HPF/EQ popup window.
In the HPF/EQ popup window, you can edit the EQ and high-pass filter parameters and switch
them on/off.
This popup window features five types of views. Each window view includes the following items.
HPF/EQ popup window (1ch)
This lets you view and 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 LIBRARY button
Press this button to open the EQ Library popup window.
2 DEFAULT button
Press this button to reset all EQ/filter parameters to the initial values.
3 COPY button
All EQ parameter settings will be stored in buffer memory.
4 PASTE button
Press this button to paste the setting in buffer memory to the current EQ. If no valid data has been
stored in the buffer memory, nothing will happen.
5 COMPARE button
Press this button to swap between the current EQ settings and the data stored in buffer memory.
If no valid data has been stored in the buffer memory, nothing will happen.
6 Channel icon/Channel number/Channel name
This area indicates the icon, number and name of the currently-selected channel.
7 LOW SHELVING ON/OFF button
Turn on this button to select the shelving-type filter for the LOW band.
8 HPF ON/OFF button (input channels only)
Turn on this button to select the high pass filter for the LOW band.
