Front Panel - Peavey CEQ 28R Operating Instructions Manual

INTRODUCTION
1. DESCRIPTION
Thank you for purchasing the Peavey Architectural
Acoustics CEQ™ 28R. If you are not yet familiar with the
operation of the Peavey Architectural Acoustics CEQ™ 28,
we recommend that you take a few minutes to read the
CEQ 28 manual and familiarize yourself with its operation
before proceeding with this manual.
The CEQ 28R is a 28 band, 1/3 octave graphic equalizer
that is a companion to the CEQ 28. It can be used as a slave
equalizer that tracks EQ changes made on the CEQ 28 or
as an independent equalizer that is remotely controlled
from the CEQ 28. When the CEQ 28R is used as a remote
expander, the CEQ 28 front panel controls and display are
used to control the CEQ 28R so that it operates just like the
CEQ 28. By adding CEQ 28Rs, up to 16 channels of audio
can be individually equalized from one CEQ 28.
Once curves are loaded or created in the CEQ 28R, the
CEQ 28 can be removed so that the EQ curve you have
carefully created cannot be altered. However, any of the
128 stored curves can be recalled via MIDI program
change commands (if enabled), or the CEQ 28R can be set
to a mode that allows one of 2,4, or 8 presets to be recalled
from the front panel.
