6
Operate DCA faders 1–8.
The corresponding frequency region will be boosted or
cut.
Hint
If the fader of a graphic EQ is at the 0 dB position, the [NOMI-
NAL] LED of the DCA fader will light. If it is at other than the 0
dB position, the DCA [MUTE] key will light. While the DCA
[MUTE] key is lit, pressing the DCA [MUTE] key will reset the
corresponding band to 0 dB.

If you want to use the DCA faders to control a
different region, repeat steps 5–6.

When you have finished using the DCA faders
to control the graphic EQ, either press the
FADER MODE [DCA] key or click the OFF but-
ton in the ASSIGN TO FADERS area.
When the [DCA] button is on, the FADER MODE
keys and the DCA faders will return to their normal
state. If you once again want to assign the graphic EQ
to the DCA faders, either click a button in the ASSIGN
TO FADERS area or hold down the [SHIFT] key and
press a FADER MODE [A]–[F] key.
Hint
• GEQ module settings are saved as part of the scene. The
settings of a GEQ module can also be saved in the GEQ
library. For details, refer to GEQ LIBRARY screen (
➥
in the Reference section.
• When you switch the display to a different screen, the DCA
fader assignments will be forcibly defeated, and will no
longer function even if you return to the GEQ screen. How-
ever if you turn on the AUTO ASSIGN button in the GEQ
PARAM screen, the DCA faders will automatically be
assigned to the most recently operated region when you
access the GEQ PARAM screen.
Basic parametric EQ operations
There are two ways to operate the parametric EQ: using the knobs and buttons in the display, or using the SELECTED
CHANNEL section of the panel.
Here’s how to use the knobs and buttons of the GEQ
PARAM screen (GEQ function) to operate the desired
parametric EQ.
1
In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly
press the [GEQ] keys to access the GEQ
PARAM screen.
2
In the MODULE box, click the left/right /
buttons to select the GEQ module that you
want to operate.
Make sure that the EQ ON/OFF button is on. Also
make sure that the corresponding module is inserted
into the appropriate channel, and that insert in/out is
enabled for that channel.
Hint
An alternate way to select the desired GEQ module is to use
the GEQ ASSIGN screen (GEQ function) (
➥
3
Click the PEQ button located in the upper mid-
dle of the screen to select the 8-band
parametric EQ.
4
If you want to use the LOW band or HIGH
band as a shelving-type EQ or as a high-pass or
low-pass filter, click the
/
button of that
band, or the HPF/LPF button to turn it on.
If you switch to a shelving type, the Q knob will disap-
pear. When you switch to a high-pass or low-pass filter,
the Q knob will disappear, and the GAIN knob will
change to the HPF/LPF on/off switch.
5
Using the Q knob, GAIN knob, and FREQ knob
of each band, specify the steepness, gain, and
center frequency for each band.
The value of each setting is shown in the box below.
Hint
If you click the EQ FLAT button, the boost/cut amount of all
bands will be reset to 0 dB.
