4.1 The Fat Channel
Compressor Sets and Displays the Amount of
Makeup Gain Makeup Gain for the Compressor on
the Selected Input Channel or
Output Bus.
This encoder sets, and the meter
displays, the makeup-gain setting
of the compressor for the selected
channel or output bus. When
compressing a signal, gain
reduction usually results in an
overall attenuation of level. The
gain control allows you to restore
this loss in level and readjust the
volume to the precompression
level (if desired). You can adjust
Makeup Gain from 0 dB (no gain
adjustment) to +28 dB.
Limiter Turns on the Limiter for the Selected
On/Off
Input Channel or Output Bus.
When the limiter is engaged the
button will illuminate. The
threshold for the limiter is set to 0
dBFS. The Ratio is ∞:1.
The limiter is available for all input and
output buses.
Low EQ On/Off Activates Control for the Low Band EQ
Button for the Selected Input or Output Bus.
This button actives control of the
equalizer's Low band for the
selected channel or bus. The
button will illuminate to indicate
control is active.
The Low EQ band is available for all input and
output buses.

Low EQ Sets and Displays the Center
Frequency
Frequency of the Low EQ Band.
Control
This encoder sets, and the meter
displays, the center frequency of
the equalizer's Low band. The
center frequency is the middle of
the passband (the mean) between
the lower and upper cutoff
frequencies that define the limits
of the band.
You can adjust the center
frequency from 36 to 465 Hz.
Low EQ Gain Sets and Displays the Gain Attenuation
Control or Boost of the Center Frequency.
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 Turns on the Low Shelving EQ for the
Button
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.
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 Activates Controls for the Mid EQ for
Button 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
control is active.
The Mid EQ band is available for all input and
output buses.
Mid EQ Sets and Displays the Center
Frequency Frequency of the Mid EQ.
Control
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.

The Fat Channel 4.1
Mid EQ Gain Sets and Displays the Gain
Control
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 HiQ Enables a Narrow Bandwidth for the
Button 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.
High EQ On/Off Activates Control for the High EQ for
Button
the Selected Input or Output Bus.
This button actives control of the
High band for the selected channel
or bus. The button will illuminate
to indicate control is active.
The High EQ band is available for all input and
output buses.
