2. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIT.
AEQ CAPITOL is an ultra-compact digital mixing console consisting in a control surface and
associated audio engine. These two functional blocks, the control surface (where all the controls
and status indicators are located) and the audio engine or core unit (where all the audio
inputs/outputs, routing, sum and processing electronics is included), are connected together
with a data and power supply proprietary link with RJ45 connectors.
These functional blocks will be separately described hereunder.
2.1. Description of the control surface.
The control surface is the operators “work” area of the AEQ CAPITOL. All operational
organization, management and implementation of the audio program are accomplished from
this area. The control surface incorporates all the keys, displays, faders, encoders and VU
meters required to operate the equipment
There are two different areas on the AEQ CAPITOL control surface: the area on the left that
corresponds to the AUDIO CHANNELS controlled through faders (8 x 100mm faders) and the
CONTROL AND MONITORING AREA which is located to the right.

2.1.1. Channels.
AEQ CAPITOL
control surface consists of 8 independent channels, each one featuring its own
dedicated 100mm fader.
The assignment of signals to channel faders on the AEQ CAPITOL is user definable. It is
possible to assign any signal to any channel fader at any time. This allows for the re-distribution
of channels in order to adapt to different programs or operators.
In addition, different channel assignment of signals can be stored in memories to be used by
different users or applications.
