5.0   DESCRIPTION OF MAIN FUNCTIONS

ADJUSTING INDIVIDUAL FREQUENCIES:

•

Press one of the frequency buttons below the screen. A cursor is shown at

the bottom of the selected fader and its

GAIN

 and

FREQUENCY

 values are

displayed at the top of the screen.

•

Adjust the gain of the selected frequency with the 

DATA WHEEL

.

Alternatively select the required frequency with the

DATA WHEEL

 in

Parameter mode. Note that after 20kHz the cursor goes to the 

GAIN

 fader.

ADJUSTING A BAND OF FREQUENCIES:

•

Press and hold two of the frequency select buttons. Two cursors are shown

indicating each end of the selected band. These frequencies are also shown

at the top of the display. Any cut or boost adjustment affects all frequencies

within the band selected.

GAIN:
GAIN

 controls the level of signal into the graphic equaliser. It can be used to

reduce overall gain where large boost levels are being used. It can also be used

to set different gains for Channels A & B, which can then be linked for overall

adjustment (see LINKING WITH OFFSET).

BYPASS:

BYPASS acts on the selected channel or channels and has the effect of returning

all faders to their 0dB (flat) positions.

5.2   PARAMETRIC & FILTERS

PARAMETRIC

The parametric equaliser on the DPF3103 has 3 fully variable (frequency, gain and

bandwidth) bands. Each band has -40dB cut and +15dB boost, 20Hz to 20kHz

frequency range and 1/32 to 2 octave bandwidth adjustment. The large cut range and

narrow bandwidth available make the equaliser ideal for notching out feedback.

The High pass (low cut) filter is adjustable between 16Hz & 630Hz and the Low pass

(high cut) between 656Hz and 20kHz. Both have selectable slopes of -12dB/octave

Bessel or Butterworth and -24dB/ octave Linkwitz-Riley. There is also an OFF

position.

•

Press

PARAMETRIC & FILTERS

 button once to select the Parametric

equaliser and Filters page.

•

Press

PARAMETRIC & FILTERS

 a second time to select the Shelving

equaliser page.

•

Press

PARAMETRIC & FILTERS

 again to return to Parametric & Filters page.
