THE EQ MODULE
Controls and Display
To edit a single band
With the EQ/RTA indicator off, turning or
pushing the GRAPHIC EDIT knob will bring
you to the EQ Band Select Mode. See Table1
for tips on identifying the control modes. To
select a band, simply turn the GRAPHIC EDIT
knob. The selected band is the one that has a
slow-blinking LED (the cursor). To change from
Channel 1 to Channel 2, turn the GRAPHIC
EDIT knob clockwise until the cursor "jumps"
to the right pane. Once a band is selected,
you can edit its boost/cut level by pushing
the GRAPHIC EDIT knob once. The cursor
will blink faster to indicate that you are now in
the EQ Band Edit Mode. While in this mode,
turning the GRAPHIC EDIT knob will boost or
cut the gain level of the band. After you are
done editing the band level, push the GRAPHIC
EDIT knob once again to return to the EQ Band
Select Mode.
To edit a multiband group
While in the EQ Band Select Mode, turning the
FUNCTION EDIT knob lets you select multiple
bands as a group. For example, if the LED
is originally blinking only at the 10K band of
Channel 1, turning the FUNCTION EDIT knob
clockwise by two notches will make these three
LEDs blink: 10K , 12.5K , and 16K . If instead of
two notches, you turn the knob clockwise by
? ve notches, you will notice that the blinking
LEDs are no longer limited to Channel 1 (at
10K , 12.5K , 16K and 20K Hz), but also include
two bands of Channel 2 (at 25 and 31 Hz). This
means you can group across the channels even
when Channel Link is off. In practice, you may
often want to raise or lower the boost/cut level
of the entire spectrum of both channels. This
cross-channel grouping makes the task quick
and easy without having to link the channels.
Once a group is selected, push the GRAPHIC
EDIT knob to enter the EQ Band Edit Mode;
notice the LEDs are blinking faster. Now turn
the GRAPHIC EDIT knob to edit simultaneously
the boost/cut level of all selected bands. Push
the GRAPHIC EDIT knob again to return to the
EQ Band Select Mode.

With the EQ/RTA indicator off, pushing the
FUNCTION EDIT knob once will bring you to
the EQ Function Select Mode. See Table 1 for
tips on identifying the control modes. While in

link is on. Otherwise, is displayed.
The lower line of the Alphanumeric Display

When you are in the EQ Function Select
Mode, the entire lower line is ? ashing. This is
to remind you that, if you turn the FUNCTION
EDIT knob now, you will be "scrolling" through
the function menu. Turn the FUNCTION EDIT
knob to ? nd the function that you want to edit.
Press the
FUNCTION EDIT
once to enter the
EQ Function Edit Mode. Notice that the function
name is no longer ? ashing and that only the

EDIT knob now will change the value for that
function. When you have ? nished adjusting the
value, press the FUNCTION EDIT knob again
to return to the EQ Function Select Mode.

Channel Link
When this function is set to On , all settings of
Channel 1 are copied to Channel 2; and all
subsequent adjustments will be simultaneously
applied to both channels. When Channel Link
is Off , you can adjust each channel separately;
the location of the cursor determines which
channel is to be affected. When the cursor
is in the left pane, the adjustment is made to
