Parametric EQ: Introduction
In addition to a Graphic EQ, DL
mixers also have a Parametric EQ
on each output. To get here, simply
swipe the entire view down (from the
gray area) above the Graphic EQ.
The Parametric EQ View looks
and works similarly to that of the
Channel EQ View.
PEQ: On / Off
Tap this button to turn the
Parametric EQ on and off. When on,
the PEQ controls affect the signal
and the button illuminates green.
When off, the PEQ controls have
no affect on the signal, nor will the
button illuminate. However, the PEQ
controls may still be adjusted.
PEQ Display: Gain, Frequency & Q
The PEQ is easily adjusted by
moving the four numbered balls
(representing each band) until the
desired sound has been achieved.
Move a ball up and down to
change the gain and move it left
and right to change the frequency.
Pinch a ball to adjust its
Q [bandwidth]. Double-tap a
ball to reset its gain to zero.
