Installer’s Guide
USB Adjustments and Settings
Before making any of these adjustments, be sure the mixer has been properly installed in
your sound system, with all the steps listed in
Completing Your Installation
(page 19) done.
With the mixer installed and rear panel switch settings properly made, the mixer’s USB port
can now be used to make advanced settings. These direct the mixer’s six DSPs (Digital Signal
Processors) to modify the sound accordingly. You can make any adjustment listed below:
•
A separate two-band parametric EQ for
each
mic input to compensate for differing
microphone characteristics if needed
•
Any mic input can route to the Music path for use with additional music sources
•
A seven-band parametric EQ for the Voice mix, to adjust the overall response
including speakers and room acoustics
•
A three-band parametric EQ for the Music path
•
Compression ON-OFF at each microphone input
•
De-ess ON-OFF for each pair of microphones (mics
1
and
2
,
3
and
4
, etc.)
•
Stage Monitor bus ON-OFF for each mic input
In addition, a Pink Noise generator is available while the USB is in use, to help you set up
your EQs.
