Accessing the 30 GEQ bands on the 8 output section faders
The GEQ is assigned only to the 8 faders in the Control Bay of the surface, leaving all input faders free to
control Input Channels.
In order to access the 30 bands of the GEQ in Small Mode, it is necessary to scroll through the frequency
bands in pages of 8 bands at a time.
This paging is controlled by the Output Fader Page buttons, located in the Control Bay of the console,
which operate in a different mode during activation of Small GEQ: (Note it is not possible to switch Output
Fader Pages whilst Small GEQ is active)
The Output Fader page buttons have the following functions in Small GEQ mode:
VCA: Scrolls the page by 4 bands to the left, repeats with further presses
A: selects 25 - 125Hz range
B: selects 160 - 800Hz range
C: selects 1kHz - 5kHz range
D: selects 6.3kHz - 20kHz range
E: Scrolls the page by 4 bands to the right, repeats with further presses
The VCA and E buttons are useful for adjusting or viewing a part of the GEQ curve that falls between two
frequency pages – they effectively move the view by half a page (4 bands) with each press. Two adjacent
page buttons illuminate when the displayed frequency page is ‘half way between’ two of the fixed pages.
