Owner’s Manual
This encoder sets, and the meter displays, the gain cut or boost
at the center frequency for the Low band. The level of the
center frequency can be set between -15 and +15 dB.
Low Shelf EQ Button. Turns on the Low Shelving EQ
for the Selected Input or Output Bus.
When the Shelf button is not engaged, the Low band is semi-parametric. Enabling
the Shelf button turns the Low band into a low-shelving EQ that alters, by a fixed
amount, a band of low frequencies at and below a user-selected shelving frequency.
Power User Tip:
A low shelving EQ is like a bass-control knob on a stereo. In this mode,
the Center Frequency control selects the shelving frequency.
Mid EQ On/Off Button. Activates Controls for the Mid
EQ for the Selected Input or Output Bus.
This button actives the controls for the equalizer’s Mid band for the selected
input or output. The button will illuminate to indicate the band is active.
Mid EQ Frequency Control. Sets and Displays the Center Frequency of the Mid EQ.
This encoder sets, and the meter displays, the center frequency for the Mid
band. You can adjust the center frequency from 260 Hz to 3.5 kHz.
Mid EQ Gain Control. Sets and Displays the Gain Attenuation
or Boost of the Center Frequency for the Mid Band.
This encoder sets, and the meter displays, the gain cut or
boost at the center frequency of the Mid band. The level of the
center frequency can be set between -15 and +15 dB.
Mid Hi Q Button. Enables a Narrow Bandwidth for the Mid
Band EQ on the Selected Input or Output bus.
Q is the ratio of the EQ band’s center frequency to its bandwidth. With a
constant center frequency, higher Q values indicate a narrower bandwidth,
so Q is often equated with bandwidth. By default, the Q is set to a value of
0.55. When the Hi Q button is engaged, the Q setting will be increased to
2.0, thus narrowing the bandwidth to provide more precise control.
