same "flat" starting point for further EQ changes, and now you can add (by programming, or from one
of the 99 POWER-Q memories) your favorite Program EQ.
The POWER-Q allows you to develop and save Program EQs and load them into the POWER-Q graphic
EQ with the touch of a button. An engineer who works with a variety of acts that each require a specific
program curve will be able to customize an EQ curve for each act and name, save, and recall each curve
quickly. In a new acoustical space, by performing the Automatic Room EQ procedure followed by the
recall of a Program EQ, a sound engineer will achieve these powerful advantages:
• Consistency of sound.
• Quick setup. You should be able to EQ the system in just a few minutes.
• Quick and reliable change of EQ from one performer to another.
• Predictable change of EQ in mid-performance.
• Quick loading of EQ templates to match the style of new or unfamiliar performers. Amaze them
with how quickly you catch on to their sound!
Please note that the total boost (including Room and Program EQ) for any EQ slider is limited to a total of
12 dB; the limit for any slider's cut (Room and Program combined) is 15 dB. Automatic Room EQ alone
will not impose a boost greater than 6 dB, or a cut greater than 15 dB.

position indicators are at the same point, they will show as a large solid square.
