Display With Function Keys - Dynacord CMS 1000-3 Owner's Manual

GEQ setting instructions:
The frequency ranges as well as the characteristics of the EQ faders are very praxis-oriented. In case you want to have
a clear and highly intelligible sound, which, as a side effect, provides the cymbals with more crisp, you should raise the
levels of the 12 kHz or 6.3 kHz band a bit. If the MIDs are nasaling you should attenuate the mid range (630 Hz to
2.5 kHz) by some decibels. To provide the kick drum with more punch you have to boost the low frequency range, using
the 63 Hz or the 125 Hz controls. In case the overall sound is undefined with too much bass, lowering the levels of these
two frequency bands will solve the problem.
However, especially with equalization you should be aware of the fact that in most cases less adjustments provide better
results. Thus, your first choice should be to establish the mix using only the input channel controls and see if you get a
satisfactory result. If so, you can use the graphic EQ for the MONITOR bus, where in most cases it is more needed.
68 - GRAPHIC EQ MASTER / MON 1/2
TO
This LED indicate if the 11 band GEQ is used for the master channel (MASTER LED lights green), for one monitor channel
(MON 1 or MON 2 LED lights green) or both monitor channels (MON 1 and MON 2 LED lights green). The latter is espe-
cially useful if similar monitor speakers are used for both monitor channels. Please see page 27 for changing the Graphic
EQ Routing.

These indicators are to inform you about the actual operational state of the CMS's DIGITAL AUDIO
INTERFACE.
REC PEAK
The PROTECT indicator lights when for at least one of the four recording channels the risk of clipping exists. Reduce
the output level of the affected channel by lowering the setting of the AUX 1, AUX 2, MON 1 or MON 2 fader or the REC
