The
Q
encoders of each EQ band are used to control
the Q (bandwidth), as shown here:
Module levels and AUX sends
The level is
displayed up to the nominal level, and the nominal
level is marked by the lower indicator lighting with
all indicators up to the nominal position half-lit.
Levels above the nominal are shown by additional
segments above the nominal segment lighting, and
those below the nominal position changing to half-lit
status, as shown in the illustration here.
If the encoders are “flipped”, the position of the
channel faders is represented in the same way as for
aux sends.
Dynamics settings
These are “rotary” settings,
with higher levels lighting more segments. An excep-
tion to this is the output level, which works in the
same ways as an EQ gain encoder.
Other settings
Aux levels from busses (including
the stereo buss), delay time, and surround LFE levels
are also “rotary” settings, with higher levels lighting
more segments.
