9.5
Equalizer Area
The Equalizer controls access all EQ related parameters such as high-pass filter (HPF), low-pass filter (LPF),
and EQ for the Selected Channel.
9.5.1
4-band EQ
Every input and output channel has a 4-band EQ except for the Main Left, Right, and Center/Mono (which
feed a 6-band in the system processor). The equalizer includes both high-pass and low-pass filters with
selectable slopes. The equalizer has two operating modes, traditional and full range, that can be switched
for each channel via the touchscreen (see Section 12.2.6 for details). In Traditional mode (default), each of
the four bands has a restricted, but overlapping frequency range matching EQs commonly found on analog
consoles. In Full Range mode, each of the four bands can be swept over the full 20 Hz-20 kHz audio range. In
addition, bands 1 and 4 can be independently switched between shelving and parametric operation.
9.5.1.1
HPF
The high-pass filter control adjusts the cutoff frequency for the filter. Frequencies below the cutoff frequency
are attenuated at a rate of 12 dB/octave (default). The slope for the HPF is adjustable by pushing the V-Pot
button repeatedly (6, 12, 18, and 24 dB/octave).
9.5.1.2
LPF
The low-pass filter control adjusts the cutoff frequency for the filter. Frequencies above the cutoff frequency
are attenuated at a rate of 12 dB/octave (default). The slope for the LPF is adjustable by pushing the V-Pot
button repeatedly (6, 12, 18, and 24 dB/octave).
9.5.1.3
GAIN
These V-Pots adjust the amount of gain or attenuation applied to the band of frequencies affected by the EQ,
up to ±15 dB. The V-Pot LEDs display the relative amount of boost and cut.
9.5.1.4
FREQ
These controls adjust the center frequency (or cutoff frequency if shelving is assigned) at which the EQ is
focused, displayed in Hertz (Hz).
9.5.1.5
Q / Bandwidth
This V-Pot adjusts the Q of the peak/dip curves in the parametric equalizer. The V-Pot LEDs display the Q
value by lighting LEDs around the center top LED. Narrow Qs only light the top center LED, intermediate Qs
light more LEDs on both sides of center, and at the widest Q setting, all V-Pot LEDs are lit.
