Graphic EQ (GEQ) Module

The 31-band Graphic EQ module can be used to adjust the sound system’s frequency response and is available for those who
prefer to use this time-tested tool for system EQ. Manually edit the GEQ bands or select one of the “Quick Curves” options to
get you started.

GEQ modules can be inserted in the input processing insert slots, see

‘Configuring Processing Module Insert Types’

on page 25

for more information on configuring inserts. The following section provides a description of each of the GEQ

module parameters and how to edit them.

To edit a GEQ module:

1. Press the EDIT button.

2. Select a GEQ module using the

SELECT wheel and UP/DOWN

buttons. Press the SELECT wheel

to enter the module’s menu.

3. Use the SELECT wheel and UP/

DOWN buttons to navigate the

menu and edit parameters.

TIP:

When in a menu, pressing and holding the

EDIT

button for approximately 2 seconds will advance to the next module

below in the configuration map, wrapping around through the available modules. This allows quick navigation between menus
of a column and improves efficiency when performing repetitive tasks within like modules.
