EQ (E zone)
The input channel equaliser (EQ) is a four-band sweep parametric EQ (PEQ) that allows
tonal control of the input signal via the parametric EQ section, or E zone, in the input
channel strip. The four bands are treble, hi-mid, lo-mid and bass, with an additional
three shelving modes available for treble and bass. Any combination of the four bands
can be used to control the signal, although only one band can be adjusted in the E zone
at any time.
Each input fast strip contains the EQ on/off switch and quick access buttons for channel
and band selection.
The E zone contains all of the PEQ controls, along with a shelving mode selection button
and another set of band selection buttons.
