Channel B 

 

Channel B of the DEQ 624 is a duplicate of Channel A.  All controls, encoders and 
LED indicators found on Channel A are found on Channel B.   

 

REMEMBER: 

When Channel Master A is engaged, all of Channel B’s controls 

 

 

are disabled! 

 

Adaptive Hum Cancellation (AHC) 

 

Adaptive Hum Cancellation has been incorporated into the DEQ 624 for the express 
purpose of reducing 50 Hz or 60 Hz line noise.  This very common audio artifact is 
typically caused by ground loops and can be successfully removed by AHC.  AHC is 
in learning mode when turned OFF.  While in this mode, AHC monitors the 
noise/hum level.  Corrective waveforms are continuously updated based upon 
noise/hum coming into the unit.  When AHC is turned ON the last corrective 
waveform is applied to the audio data.  Should the noise level change and AHC 
become ineffective in controlling the noise/hum, it is then necessary to turn AHC OFF 
for a few seconds so it can adapt to the new noise level and then be selected again by 
pressing the switch to the ON position to resume operation. 

 

Presets 

 

The DEQ 624 can store up to four programs.  Stored programs can be recalled by 
selecting the desired program with the Preset switch located at the right end of the 
front panel of the unit.  Pressing the Preset switch repeatedly cycles through the four 
Preset positions.  Stopping on a program for approximately three seconds causes the 
stored program in that position to load and the unit to operate in that Preset mode 
(

NOTE: All EQ encoders, controls, and switches with the exceptions of the 

Store / Security switch and the Preset switch are disabled when a program is 
recalled).
