PQ Controller Overview
PQ Controller Top Panel
Encoder Displays The encoder displays show the name/value
of the PQ mixer input currently controlled by the correspond-
ing rotary encoder.
Rotary Encoders The rotary encoders control the currently dis-
played parameter (level or pan/balance) when turned, or solo
the currently displayed PQ mixer input when pressed. The en-
coder rings display input level or pan settings, or indicate in-
put meter levels, depending on the encoder mode.
On/Off Switches The On/Off switches turn the currently dis-
played PQ mixer input on or off.
Setup Switch The Setup switch puts the PQ Controller in
Setup mode, which displays the port number for the PQ Con-
troller, and lets you adjust display brightness and contrast on
the PQ Controller.
Inputs 1–4 Selector The Inputs 1–4 selector displays PQ mixer
inputs 1–4 on the rotary encoders and displays for adjusting
level and pan/balance.
Inputs 5–8 Selector The Inputs 5–8 selector displays PQ mixer
inputs 5–8 on the rotary encoders and displays for adjusting
level and pan/balance.
L/R/User Inputs Selector The L/R/User Inputs selector dis-
plays the Main Left, Main Right, Center/Mono, and user-as-
signable inputs on the rotary encoders and displays for adjust-
ing level and pan/balance.
Master Volume/Call Control The Master Volume/Call control
changes the PQ mixer output volume when turned, or raises a
call message on the console display when pressed.
Lockout Switch The Lockout switch temporarily locks the lo-
cal controls of the PQ Controller to prevent inadvertent
changes to controller settings. This function does not lock out
control of the PQ mixer from the console. The Lockout switch
lights when lockout is activated from the controller, and
flashes when lockout is activated from the console.
Encoder Mode Switch and Indicators The Encoder Mode
switch and indicators toggle control of input level, input
pan/balance, or input metering on the rotary encoders and
LEDs for the currently displayed input.
