Deva Equalization

DEVA EQ

The Deva EQ is very powerful. It is the same EQ that is in the Cameo mixing console. The EQ

consists of five filters. A three band parametric and two notch filters are available on each channel.

The EQ is present in both pre and post fader and cannot be separated. When EQ is changed, all

audio on that channel is affected. However, adding EQ does not change the timing of the audio as it

passes through a channel, any delay remains constant.

Channels 1 and 2 on the Deva have equalization and compression enabled. All other channels

require the Mix-12 or can be added. Contact Zaxcom for details on enabling additional channels on

the Deva.

Pressing EQ enables or disables the EQ on the channel. If a channel is already under EQ control,

pressing EQ bypasses the EQ for that channel. However, the EQ settings are retained when in the

bypass mode. Pressing EQ again allows you to enable the EQ again.

Hint:

If you press and hold the EQ button, when you release the button you exit out of the EQ screen.

The three EQ knobs, Low, Mid, and High always control the levels of the first three bands of the

currently selected channel. The selected channel is indicated by the illuminated CH key. When a

channel is selected, you can adjust the EQ at any point since the EQ knobs are always active.

However, the results of the adjusting the EQ can only be seen on the Deva s EQ screen.

There are five filters per channel. BAND 1,2,3 are selectable as Low shelf, High shelf and peak

filter. Bands 4 and 5 are notch filters. Each channel has its own filter set. If a filter is not in use

leave the EQ for that channel disabled. The saves processing power. It may be important if a

number of the effects need to be on at the same time. The CH key may be used to change the filter

being adjusted if the Deva is in the EQ screen.

The function of the jog wheel is to adjust the other EQ parameters as selected in the Deva EQ

menu. The filter selected and the current parameter to adjust determines the function of the jog

wheel. Filter Q and Frequency are adjusted with the Jog wheel.

By using the CH key on the channel, you determine the Filter to adjust. The selection of controlled

parameter is selected on the touch screen in the lower right corner of the EQ display.
