Channel Setup

In Channel Setup, you can fine-tune the characteristics of the
stereo channels' equalizer. It is also possible to adjust a Subsonic
Filter (low-cut filter) for all four channels. For example, this filter can
be used to suppress low-frequency noise from turntables.
1) Press the CONSOLE SETUP knob
seconds.
2) Select "Channel Setup" by turning and pressing the CONSOLE
SETUP knob.
Channel Setup appears on the display.
The equalizer of the stereo channels has 3 bands with different
characteristics. The Mid band is a peak filter whose center fre-
quency and bandwidth (Q factor) can be modified. Both outer
bands Low and High are shelving filters. In Channel Setup,
following settings are available for each of the 4 channels:
Channel Xover (Crossover):
LOW: Cutoff frequency of the Low filter. All frequencies below
the adjusted value are cut or boosted.
MID: Center frequency of the Mid band. All frequencies
around this value are boosted or cut. The bandwidth is
determined by the parameter Mid Q (see below).
HIGH: Cutoff frequency of the High filter. All frequencies above
the adjusted value are boosted or cut.
1) Press the left PARAMETER knob
(LOW, MID or HIGH).
2) Turn the PARAMETER knob to change the cutoff frequency
and center frequency of the selected band.
Mid Q:
The Q factor determines the behavior of the filter. The higher the
value, the narrower the bandwidth. Mid Q affects the mids band.

of the Q factor.
Subsonic frequency:
You can adjust the cutoff frequency of the low-cut filter on each
stereo channel. All frequencies below the cutoff frequency are
attenuated.
1) Press the right PARAMETER knob

EQ Freq/Pan page:
This page shows level meters for both microphone signals. In
addition, you can make sound settings for the equalizer on the
Microphone channel. Here you can adjust the stereo image of the
microphone signal as well as the signal relation of both micropho-
nes to each other. The individual parameters are as follows:
MIC1: Level meter for Microphone 1
MIC2: Level meter for Microphone 2
LOW: Cutoff frequency of the LOW control knob
MID: Center frequency of the MID control knob
HIGH: Cutoff frequency of the HIGH control knob
Q MID: Q factor of the mids band
1) Press the CONSOLE SETUP knob
(LOW, MID, HIGH, Q MID).
2) Turn the CONSOLE SETUP knob to change the value of the
selected parameter.
PAN1: Position of Microphone 1 in the stereo image
PAN 2: Position of Microphone 2 in the stereo image
OUT B: Volume of the microphone channel at Output B
1) Press the right PARAMETER knob
(PAN 1, PAN 2, OUT B).
2) Turn the PARAMETER knob to change the value of the
parameter.
EQ GAIN page:
This page lets you make user default sound settings, which affect
the microphone channel in relation to the equalizer. For example,
storing a boost of 5 dB in these settings affects the signal even
when the HIGH rotary knob is set to 0, that is the center position.
The high frequencies can additionally be boost or cut with the HIGH
knob. This function helps to remove problematic frequencies of
your voice or to improve speech comprehensibility.
