EQ Overview

Built-In EQ
A 4-band parametric EQ is available on each Input Channel, FX
Return, output channel, and Matrix Mixer. Two EQ modes, Dig-
ital and Analog, are provided on a per-channel basis. Built-in EQs
are not limited by DSP resources.
A fourth-order high-pass filter (HPF) with a corner frequency
range from 20 Hz to 500 Hz is available on each Input Channel
and FX Return.
Graphic EQs
The 16 Built-in Graphic EQs can be inserted on output busses and
are not limited by DSP resources.
EQ Plug-Ins
EQ plug-ins can be used on input and output channels. When as-
signed in the plug-in racks, EQ plug-ins can be inserted on indi-
vidual mono or stereo channels or fed by busses. EQ plug-ins can
be adjusted using Channel Control, using the Global Control en-
coders (in Insert mode), or from the on-screen Plug-Ins page. In
addition, plug-in presets can be saved and loaded.
Hardware Inserts
You can insert a hardware EQ processor and control its in/out
state and insert position on-screen. See Chapter 18, "Hardware
Inserts."
