Limiter On/Off. Turns on the
Limiter for the Selected Input
Channel or Output Bus.
When the limiter is engaged
the button will illuminate. The
threshold for the limiter is set
to 0 dBFS. The Ratio is ∞:1.
The limiter is available for all
input and output buses.
Power User Tip: At the simplest
level, a limiter is a compressor
that is set to prevent any increase
in the level of a signal above
the threshold. For example, if
you have the threshold knob
set at 0 dB, and the ratio turned
fully clockwise, the compressor
becomes a limiter at 0 dB, so that
the output signal cannot exceed
0 dB regardless of the level of the
input signal. Typically, compression
ratios of 10:1 and above are
considered to be limiting.
Low EQ On/Off Button.
Activates Control for the Low
Band EQ for the Selected Input or
Output Bus.
This button actives control of
the equalizer’s Low band for
the selected channel or bus.
The button will illuminate to
indicate the band is active.
The Low EQ band is available
for all input and output buses.
Low EQ Frequency Control. Sets
and Displays the Center
Frequency of the Low EQ Band.
This encoder sets, and the meter
displays, the center frequency
of the equalizer’s Low band.
The center frequency is the
middle of the passband (the
mean) between the lower and
upper cutoff frequencies that
define the limits of the band.
You can adjust the center
frequency from 36 to 465 Hz.
Low EQ Gain Control. Sets and
Displays the Gain Attenuation or
Boost of the Center Frequency.
This encoder sets, and the meter
displays, the gain cut or boost
at the center frequency for the
Low band. The level of the center
frequency can be set between
-15 and +15 dB.
Low Shelf EQ Button. Turns on
the Low Shelving EQ for the
Selected Input or Output Bus.
When the Shelf button is not
engaged, the Low band is semi-
parametric. Enabling the Shelf
button turns the Low band into
a low-shelving EQ that alters,
by a fixed amount, a band of
low frequencies at and below a
user-selected shelving frequency.
Power User Tip: A low shelving
EQ is like a bass-control knob
on a stereo. In this mode, the
Center Frequency control selects
the shelving frequency.
Mid EQ On/Off Button. Activates
Controls for the Mid EQ for the
Selected Input or Output Bus.
This button actives the controls
for the equalizer’s Mid band for
the selected input or output.
The button will illuminate to
indicate the band is active.
The Mid EQ band is available
for all input and output buses.
Mid EQ Frequency Control. Sets
and Displays the Center
Frequency of the Mid EQ.
This encoder sets, and the meter
displays, the center frequency for
the Mid band. You can adjust the
center frequency from 260 Hz to
3.5 kHz.
