GEQ Parameters
•
GRAPHIC EQ
[OFF, ON]
Turns the GEQ module on and off.
•
QUICK CURVE
[MANUAL, FLAT, MY BAND, SPEECH, VENUE, DJ]
This parameter allows you to select from pre-set EQ curves. Note that you can select one of these Quick Curves and
then further edit the individual GEQ bands manually from there if required. The following Quick Curve options are
available:
MANUAL (Restore)
This option is used for getting back to your original GEQ settings in the event that you change the Quick Curve option.
For example, if you’ve already configured the GEQ and you then select the FLAT Quick Curve option, the GEQ will be
flattened (all bands set to 0 dB). By then selecting the MANUAL Quick Curve option, the GEQ settings you had prior
to selecting the FLAT option will be restored. Note that previous settings cannot be restored after a power cycle or
after recalling a different preset.
FLAT
Select this option to reset all GEQ bands to 0 dB (flat).
MYBAND
This option is optimized for live music performance using a portable PA system in small to medium-sized venues (small
coffee shops or clubs for example). It offers some low-end boost with low-mid cut, which enhances the low end while
preventing the system from sounding too muddy. The high end is slightly attenuated to remove any harshness and
further help optimize gain before feedback.
SPEECH
This option is optimized for speech sound reinforcement. Use it to enhance the intelligibility of speech for spoken word
applications.
VENUE
This option is optimized for live music performance using larger PA systems in larger-sized venues. This EQ curve is
very similar to the MYBAND option except that it does not attenuate the low mids and offers additional attenuation on
the highest frequencies.
DJ
Selecting this option will boost the low and high frequencies and attenuate the mid frequencies and is optimized for
playback of pre-recorded material. This setting represents the popular “smiley-face” EQ curve commonly used by DJs
for a brighter top end and more pronounced bass response.
•
FREQUENCY
[-12dB - +12dB]
There are 31 Frequency parameters available for editing. These parameters allow you to select any one of the 31
available frequency bands (ranging from 20Hz - 20kHz
)
for editing their gain. The gain of each frequency band can be
adjusted in .1 dB increments.
