PEQ

The Parametric Equaliser (PEQ) provides 4 fully adjustable bands of equalisation allowing very precise tone control. It can be adjusted using dedicated rotary controls on the surface or using the touch screen. For screen control, touch and drag the curve or touch a parameter box and use the Rotary.

In - Switch the PEQ in or out of circuit. The curve turns yellow when switched in and grey when switched out.

Type - The LF and HF EQ bands may be set as shelving, bell shaped or low/high cut filter response. When set as a filter the slope is 12dB/octave.

Frequency - Sweeps the shelving, centre or cut-off frequency depending on the type of the EQ band.

Width - Adjusts the width of the bell shaped EQ band. Push and turn the Frequency rotary or use the screen. The value is shown in octaves. Higher values up to 1.4 affect a wider range of frequencies. Lower values down to 1/9 affect a narrower range. A value of 1/3 has a similar affect to the Graphic EQ.

Gain - Allows up to +/-15dB boost or cut for each EQ band. 0dB represents a flat response. It is typical to cut rather than boost when live mixing.

HPF - The High Pass Filter attenuates low frequencies below its cut-off frequency. Its slope can be set to 12, 18 or 24dB/octave. Switch in or out using the In button. The HPF can also be adjusted using the Preamp page.

Library - You can store and name the current PEQ settings as a preset in the Library. 

OPTIONS pull-up window

The frequency range for the 4 bands may be set globally for all inputs or mixes to be limited or full 20Hz to 20kHz.

A Fill Curves option to show the overall or individual effect of the EQ bands is available.

Sel button - Hold to PFL (listen to) the signal after the PEQ, or touch while holding the Copy, Paste or Reset key to copy the PEQ settings to other channels or to reset it flat.
