Peaking_Eq Filter:

 Peaking filters are at constant Q, so with Q not depending from the selected 

Gain value 
If we selected a Peaking_Eq filter within EQ-1, then the Q has to be set at a desired value of say 
1.00  using  the  PM3  encoder,  the  GAIN  at  say  +3dB  using  the  PM2  encoder  and  the  center 
Frequency  at  say  1.00KHz  with  the  NAV/PM1  encoder;  the  EQ  sub-menu  screen  will  show  the 
following:

Once  in  the  Peaking_Eq  Filter's  edit  screen,  all  the  filter's  parameters  can  be  modified  using  the 
“NAV/PM1”, “PM2” and “PM3” encoders for editing the Filter's Center Frequency, Gain and Q:
“Center Frequency”: the selectable frequencies range is from 20Hz to 20kHz in steps of 1Hz and 
can be adjusted by rotating the “NAV/PM1” encoder.
“Gain”: the selectable Gain range is from -12dB to +12dB in steps of 0.5 dB and can be adjusted 
by rotating the “PM2” encoder.
“Q”:  the  selectable  Q  range  is  from  0.3  up  to  20.0  in  steps  of  0.1  and  can  be  adjusted  by 
rotating the “PM3” encoder.
When  in  the  Parameters  Editing  Page,  pushing  once  more  the  ENTER  Button,  it  is  possible  to 
access the page of the Frequency Fast Setting:

Here,  the  NAV/PM1”  encoder  will  increment/decrement  the  Frequency  value  by  step  of  one 
thousand Hz, the PM2 by steps of one hundred Hz and the PM3 by steps of one Hz.

Hi_Shelv_Q  Filter:

  These  Symmetrical  Shelving  filters  present  ½  level  of  the  selected 

Gain/Attenuation at the selected cutting frequency, and a slope that is depending from the chosen 
Q value.
If we selected a High Shelving filter with variable Q within EQ-1, then the GAIN has to be set at a 
desired value of say +3dB using the PM2 encoder, the Q at 3.5 and the Lo Cut Frequency at say 
1000Hz with the NAV/PM1 encoder; the EQ sub-menu screen will show the following:

Once  in  the  Hi-Shelv_Q  Filter's  edit  screen,  all  the  filter's  parameters  can  be  modified  using  the 
“NAV/PM1”, “PM2” and “PM3” encoders for editing the Filter's Low Cut Frequency, Gain and Q:

Lo_Shelv_Q  Filter:

  These  Symmetrical  Shelving  filters  present  ½  level  of  the  selected 

Gain/Attenuation  at  the  selected  cutting  frequency,  and  a  slope  depending  from  the  chosen  Q 
value.
If we selected a Low Shelving filter with variable Q within EQ-1, then the GAIN has to be set at a 
desired  value  of  say  +3dB  using  the  PM2  encoder,  the  Q  at  3.5  using  the  PM3  and  the  Hi  Cut 
Frequency  at  say  1000Hz  with  the  NAV/PM1  encoder;  the  EQ  sub-menu  screen  will  show  the
