3.2 Using stereo channels
3.2.1 EQ modes: SINGLE and MULTI
The equalizer provides Preset push buttons, labeled P1, P2 and P3, with which
preset configurations are stored. The behavior of the push buttons depend on
the selected EQ mode: Single Mode or Multi Mode. After switching on the device,
Single Mode is active.
SINGLE Mode:
In Single Mode, the push buttons P1, P2 and P3 (6) are each permanently
assigned to a frequency band (P1 = HIGH, P2 = MID, P3 = LOW). This means that
a Preset can be assigned to each EQ control. When activated, the Preset push
buttons provide a Kill function with maximum attenuation (-∞ dB).
Preset settings in SINGLE Mode
P1 HIGH Kill -∞ dB Suppresses high frequencies
P2 MID Kill -∞ dB Suppresses mid frequencies
P3 LOW Kill -∞ dB Suppresses low frequencies

The degree of cut can, however, be modified. Alternatively, a frequency boost
can also be stored. In case you want to boost instead of cutting the bass
(Punch function), proceed as follows:
1) Turn the LOW knob (4) to the right until you have reached the
boost you want.
2) Press and hold the MODE push button (5) while pressing P3 (6).
3) Press P3 to load the Preset. The bass frequencies are now boosted.
P3 flashes blue.
This way you can also program the mids and highs with P2 and P1 respectively.
Reset:
The Preset push buttons can be restored to their initial states at all times
(Reset function):
• Press MODE (5) for approximately 2 seconds. The MULTI LED briefly lights up
to confirm the reset.
MULTI Mode:
In Multi Mode, the Preset push buttons are not assigned to individual EQ bands,
but are assigned to the 3-band equalizer as a whole. This way you can create
three EQ presets and assign these to the Preset push buttons. When activated,
the Preset push buttons are assigned as follows:
Preset settings in MULTI Mode
P1 High pass Suppresses MID and LOW
P2 Band pass Suppresses HIGH and LOW
P3 Low pass Suppresses HIGH and MID
