PEQ 3000 User Manual
5.3 Meters
The PPM meters (Peak Program Meters) at the far right include a very accurate
Peak-Hold function.
CAUTION: You must ensure that no peaks exceed 0dBFS. These peaks will be
shown in red for a short time, before decaying. Keep an eye on them, and do
something about it if you see them.

5.4 EQ filters
In the PEQ 3000, all 12 (+12) bands are equally flexible, and each can be selected
from: Lo Cut, Lo Shelf, Bell, Hi Shelf, and Hi Cut. This way you do not need to
remember which band types are already in use, you can just go ahead adjusting.
Common features are:
• •
FREQ: The Frequency range goes from 2 Hz to 22 kHz. Note that
although the graphical horizontal axis limits the setting from 18 Hz to
20 kHz, settings outside this range can be set with the FREQ control
• •
GAIN (Bells and Shelves): There is continuous adjustment of boost and
cut from + 16 dB to - 16 dB, with a 0 dB center
• •
All bands can be individually switched on or off, or removed

solving. The default width for an added band is 1.5 Octave.
