If the selected item is filter number, then with the dial knob it's possible to change it between 1 and 60 PEQ
or GEQ if EQ type is Mono, otherwise 30 PEQ or GEQ per channel. Filter frequency will be shown by a
vertical segment crossing the frequency axis.
If the selected item is Gain, Freq or Bandwidth, then with the dial it's possible to change the value of the
selected parameter. The filter characteristics are varied in real time and immediately audible (no confirmation
needed), while the graphics is updated after a small delay. While the system is calculating the new curve
an asterisk is shown in the upper right corner of the window.
If the EQ type is graphic it will be possible to select only Gain and filter number.
When into this menu, using the
key sets all the gains to 0dB (Edit LED ON).

source (instrument or mic) into the CONTROL60 before the mixer's channel input. Usually, insert connections
require a special, stereo-splitting Y-cord to be connected, known as TRS connector. This connector has a stereo
jack which plugs into mixer's channel insert socket, and a couple of mono jacks (input and output) which will plug
into CONTROL60 via jack-XLR adapters. Fitting this kind of cabling will virtually insert into one mixer's channel
the EQ process. Take good care in adjusting CONTROL60 input and output levels, in order to satisfy the dynamics
needs of both the processed channels. Do not use for the CONTROL60 the effects send/return connections found
on most mixers for effect modules, as they could lead to heavy frequency response alterations.
Improper level setting when using a digital processor is the most common cause of noise and distortion problems.
