Production Module Controls
The Element Production Module gives production-
room gurus quick access to often-used EQ and posi-
tioning controls for each loaded source.
Its controls provide direct access to the
options presented in the
EQ & DYNAM-
ICS
options screens detailed later in this
chapter.
About Element EQ: Our EQ model
is three-band quasi-parametric. Con-
trols are provided for center frequency
and boost/cut, with a unique SmartQ™
automatic bandwidth system.
SmartQ works by varying the Q of the
selected parametric band proportional
to the amount of boost or cut you spec-
ify. A small amount of boost or cut will
affect a broader range of frequencies
for a warm, musically-pleasing effect.
As gain is increased the Q sharpens,
affecting a narrower range of fre-
quencies for tighter control of target
bands. At aggressive cut levels, the
EQ becomes a tunable notch filter.
SmartQ keeps the EQ sounding natu-
ral at virtually all settings.
To activate the Production Module,
press the
Options
key on any fader strip.
The Production Module’s overbridge dis-
play will immediately mirror the number
of that fader and the name of the source
you’re adjusting EQ for.
Once the Production Module is active,
you can quickly adjust EQ using the con-
trols described below. To quickly set EQ
for multiple channels, rotate the
SELECT
knob on the overbridge panel to choose
a different fader source, and press it to
TAKE
that source.
•
AUX SEND A/B/C/D:
These controls
allow you to send the output of the ac-
tive fader to any or all of the four Aux Send buses for
outboard audio effects processing, custom IFB mix-
es, etc. Each Aux Send control has 50 dB of adjust-
ment range, from -
∞
to +10dB. Rotating the knobs
adjusts the send level; pushing the knob toggles the
send between
PRE-FADER
and
POST-FADER.
•
The three central pairs of knobs are
EQ Controls:
HI GAIN/HI FREQ
,
MID GAIN/MID
FREQ
and
LO GAIN/LO FREQ
.
The
GAIN
knobs provide 40 dB of adjust-
ment range for boost or cut of the three
parametric bands, from -25 dB to +15 dB.
The
FREQ
knobs each act slightly differ-
ently:
»
HIGH FREQ:
Sets the active frequen-
cy for high-band EQ. Pushing this knob
toggles the EQ model between
Shelf
and
Bandpass
modes. If set to
Shelf
, the
HIGH FREQ
knob determines the top of
the shelf. If set to
Bandpass
, it sets the
center frequency of the BP filter (SmartQ
determines the width of the BP filter, as
described above).
»
MID FREQ:
Sets the center frequency
of the midrange parametric band.
»
LOW FREQ:
Sets the center frequency
of the low parametric band. Pushing this
knob toggles the EQ model between
Shelf
and
Bandpass
modes. If set to
Shelf
, the
LOW FREQ
knob determines the top of
the shelf. If set to
Bandpass
, it sets the
center frequency of the BP filter
•
The four knobs at the bottom of the
module are the
PAN
controls.
»
The upper left knob
PANs
the sound
field left-to-right.
»
The
FRONT-BACK
knob moves the
soundfield front-to-rear (in 5.1 mode).
»
The
SURROUND
knob pans the rear
speakers left-to-right (in 5.1 mode).
»
The
LFE
knob adjusts the gain of the Low
Frequency Effects channel (in 5.1 mode).
