Changing the Parametric EQ Frequency
Bandwidth
The parametric EQ is programmed us-
ing an analog model, with four discrete,
non-overlapping bands. This can be glo-
bally changed so that each band's center
frequency can be set anywhere within the
entire 20Hz-20kHz frequency range.
TO CHANGE THE FREQUENCY BANDWIDTH
From the console:
1. Press the SETUP button in the Fat
Channel. The EQ Setup Menu appears
in the Fat Channel Display.
2. Press the SELECT button below the
arrows in the display to scroll through
the available options.
3. When the frequency mode you want to
use appears in the display, press the
SELECT button below "Exit". The se-
lected bandwidth will now be used.
