Basics of Equalization

Basic operation: Channel Level mode

Channel Level mode allows you to adjust the output level of
channels A and B independently or simultaneously. Use this
feature to compensate for a reduction or increase of signal level
due to the equalization curve you have selected.
To enter this mode you must start from Program mode. Once you
are there, you can enter Channel Level mode by doing the
following:
• Select Channel A, Channel B, or both channels by using the
[LINK] button
• Press and hold the 15 kHz button and then press the 19 kHz
button, or vice versa
Note: If you press only one Band Gain button, you won't
enter Channel Level mode--you may have entered Band Edit
mode by mistake.
Once the DEQ224 is in Channel Level mode, you will see the
Band Gain LEDs go completely dark except for the ones over the
buttons mentioned in the two steps above.
From this point onward, Channel Level mode operates exactly like
Band Edit mode: the settings for Release Edit Group and Edit
Time Out are in effect.
The only real difference between the way this mode and Edit
mode operate is in the amount of boost that is allowed to occur in
Channel Level mode. The DEQ224 will allow each channel to be
boosted up to +6 dB, with an allowable cut range of -12 dB. If
you want another 6 dB of gain (for a total of 12 dB), you will find
that in the Master Level function in Setup mode. But remember,
the settings for Channel Level mode are stored with each program.
The settings for the Master Level function are not.
To exit Channel Level mode and return to Program mode, deselect
both channels or press the [CHANNEL/EXIT] button.
