Using the Equalizer (EQ)

Each channel of both the Input Mixer and the Track Mixer
has a user-definable EQ. You can choose either a two-band
(Low, High), or three-band (Low, Mid, High) parametric EQ
on a channel-by-channel basis. To use the EQ, first set up EQ
settings separately for each channel. Then, while listening to
the entire mix, make final adjustments to the EQ, panning,
and level for each channel.
* While adjusting the EQ when a track is playing, you may hear
short clicks, especially if you change the EQ value very
rapidly. This is not a malfunction. To avoid any such noise,
change EQ settings slowly.
1. Press the SELECT button for the track to which you want
to make EQ settings.
The Track SELECT button lights, and the Track Mixer
screen appears in the display.
2. Use [
], [
], [
cursor to the EQ section of the display. Or, press
[F2 (Low)]. If "Low" does not appear in the display
above [F2], press [PAGE] until "Low" appears above
[F2], then press [F2 (Low)].
