Curve Display; Reset Filters Screen - SABINE Power-Q Operating Information Manual

Curve Display. One powerful feature of the POWER-Q is its ability to display the total frequency
response curve at the output stage of the unit, integrating all its equalization (graphic, parametric,
FBX, and high and low pass filters).
This curve is superimposed on the graphic screen and is accessed by pushing the soft key labeled
"CURVE." This key can be toggled to show the frequency response curve of channel A ("CU A"),
channel B ("CU B"), or both channels together ("CU A&B"). These curves represent the combination
of ALL (graphic, parametric, FBX, and HPF/LPF) EQ settings in the POWER-Q. The superimposi-
tion of the response curve on the slider screen allows you to see the overall EQ resulting from
graphic EQ adjustments with the front panel controls. The response curve is offset above the "flat"
(zero boost or cut) center position of the EQ sliders in order to facilitate the display. This does not
indicate any overall level boost from the POWER-Q.
Note that the Curve Display can be viewed in either the Graphic EQ screen, or in the FBX/Paramet-
ric EQ screen (see Section 11.3).
Curve Display and Bypass. The curve displayed combines all the EQ and filtering active in the
POWER-Q signal path. If either the Program EQ or Room EQ is bypassed (or if both are bypassed,
as described in Section 22), the curve display will reflect the bypass.
Reset. The "RESET" button (soft key #2) opens up a screen that will allow global resetting of all
filters for both channels or separate resetting of FBX, parametric or program EQ or room EQ filters
for the A and B channels. It is possible to reset all FBX filters or just dynamic FBX filters.
To execute an option, arrow to your choice and push the "ENTER" button. If you select any option
other than "ALL OF THE ABOVE...", your reset command will be executed, but the screen menu will
remain until "CANCEL" is pushed, in order to allow you to reset more than one type of filter with a
minimum of commands and screen changes. Press CANCEL when you have reset all the filters you
want. Selecting and executing "ALL OF THE ABOVE..." will return you to the graphic EQ screen
without the CANCEL command being necessary. Please note that "ALL OF THE ABOVE..." will not
reset Room EQ, which must be reset individually.
