2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

If you activated all control elements ( ), you can use control elements through to EQ the

input signal, as follows:

RANGE button: To select a range for the EQ faders, use this button, which can appear:

V pushed in and illuminated: The fader range extends from -6 dB to +6 dB.

V not pushed in and not illuminated: The fader range extends from -12 dB to +12 dB.

FBQ IN button: To manage the FBQ Feedback Detection System, use this button, which can appear:

V pushed in and illuminated: The FBQ Feedback Detection System is activated. If the signal

level is high in a frequency band, the relevant fader LED illuminates brightly. In addition,

all other fader LEDs are dimmed. To reduce the potential for feedback, cut the signal in

the relevant frequency band ( ).

V not pushed in and not illuminated: The FBQ Feedback Detection System is not activated. Fader

LEDs illuminate with identical brightness. They do not identify possible feedback frequencies.

EQ section: If you activated all control elements ( ), the input signal travels to the EQ

section. In this section, you EQ (EQualize) the input signal. This means that you emphasize

and de-emphasize specific frequencies, many of which are associated with specific sounds.

For details, see About sounds and their frequency bands, which follows.

About the frequency-band faders

The EQ section includes 9 frequency bands. For each of these frequency bands, the EQ

section includes a single fader. The center frequency of each frequency band is displayed

directly above the relevant fader, as follows:

500

125

250

16k

These center frequencies are expressed in hertz. The letter k is the abbreviation for kilo

(kilohertz). Notice that the center frequencies increase in one-octave steps. This means that

equal intervals of pitch separate the frequency bands.

About sounds and their frequency bands

To help you EQ, the following table lists some typical sounds and identifies the frequency

bands in which they occur. The table also describes what happens to some sounds when

you overemphasize them:

The preceding table is continued on the following page.
