Chapter 6: Mixer Function

Equalizer settings

You can set the parameters for the 3-band (HIGH – shelving type, MID – peaking type, and LOW – shelving type)

equalizer.

➸

NOTE :

You can use the 3-band equalizer for up to six channels. If you wish to apply equalization to all

twelve channels, switch to the 2-band (HIGH, LOW) equalizer. With a sampling rate of 48kHz, 3-band

equalization can be applied to up to five channels, and 2-band equalization to up to ten channels.

Turning the equalizer on/off (EQ ON/OFF)

This parameter allows you to enable (ON) the EQ for each channel or disable (OFF). The box will be highlighted

for the channel with the EQ on.

Range: ON/OFF

■ When TRACK MIX channels are selected ■ When THRU MIX channels are selected

The maximum number of channels to which you can apply equalization simultaneously varies depending on

the type of EQ (3-band or 2-band) you select for the SETUP parameter (see page 68) and the sampling rate.

➸

NOTE :

When you turn on the EQ for the THRU MIX channel, equalization is always applied to the

input source, even when you are recording signals from the input jacks to tracks. If you do not wish to

apply equalization during recording, set this parameter to OFF. Refer to page 13 (“Signal flow”) for more

information.

While this screen is displayed, the [F5] key and the [F6] key function as follows:

• [F5] key .... switches EQ on/off for the selected channel.

• [F6] key ........displays all the EQ parameters for the selected channel. See page 64 for more

information.

Setting the frequency rate (EQ HIGH/MID/LOW FREQ)

Channel EQ FREQ parameters allow you to set the base frequency for each range.

Range: HIGH: 500 – 18kHz

MID: 200 – 8kHz

LOW: 40 – 1.5kHz

■ When TRACK MIX channels are selected ■ When THRU MIX channels are selected

➸

NOTE :

When the 2-band EQ is selected, the EQ MID FREQ parameter does not appear. Use the

SETUP parameter to switch between the 3-band EQ and 2-band EQ. Refer to page 68 for more informa-

tion.
