Application Example 5 – Enhancing the mix

5.1 Adding EQ

You will probably want to adjust the equalisation (EQ) on one or more inputs to optimise sound 

quality.

Each digiLiVE input channel has a 4-band parametric EQ section. Until you make an adjustment, 

channels have a “flat” frequency response. To access the EQ controls for any channel, touch the 

EQ area of its channel strip: the EQ sub-page opens.
