Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack

This chapter explains how to use the built-in graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack.

About the virtual rack

CL series consoles enable you to use the built-in graphic EQ (subsequently abbreviated as "GEQ") and
effects/processors to modify signals. You can use two types of GEQ: 31BandGEQ which enables you to
freely adjust thirty-one bands (frequency regions), and Flex15GEQ which enables you to adjust any
fifteen of thirty-one bands. You can also use 54 different effect types. The CL series consoles feature
Premium Rack, which employs VCM technology. This technology models analog circuitry on a
component level to faithfully reproduce amazing analog sounds. The Premium Rack offers six types of
processors.
In order to use a GEQ, effect, or Premium Rack, you must mount the GEQ, effect, or Premium Rack in
each virtual rack, and patch the input and output of that rack to the desired signal route. In other words,
the operation is just as though you had installed a signal processor or effect device in an actual rack,
and used patch cords to connect it. You can mount a GEQ instance in each of the sixteen racks 1–16,
an effect rack instance in each of the eight racks 1–8, and a Premium Rack instance in each of the eight
racks 1–8.
Up to two channels of input and output can be used for each rack. (However if the "31BandGEQ" is
mounted in a rack, there will be only one channel each for input and output.)
The figure below shows the signal flow for the virtual racks.

The CL console provides a rack for mounting an I/O device (such as an Rio series), external head
amps (Yamaha AD8HR, SB168-ES, etc.) as well as the virtual rack for GEQ, effects and Premium
Rack. For details, see "I/O device and external head
