3.2.2 Channel setup
In Channel Setup, you can fine-tune the characteristics of the stereo
channels’ equalizer. It is also possible to adjust a Subsonic Filter (low-cut
filter) for all four channels. For example, this filter can be used to suppress
low-frequency noise from turntables.
1) Press the CONSOLE SETUP knob (51) for approximately 2 seconds.
2) Select “Channel Setup” by turning and pressing the CONSOLE SETUP knob.
Channel Setup appears on the display.
The equalizer of the stereo channels has 3 bands with different characteristics.
The Mid band is a peak filter whose center fre-quency and bandwidth
(Q factor) can be modified. Both outer bands Low and High are shelving filters.
In Channel Setup, following settings are available for each of the 4 channels:
Channel Xover (Crossover):
LOW: Cutoff frequency of the Low filter. All frequencies below the adjusted
value are cut or boosted.
MID: Center frequency of the Mid band. All frequencies around this value
are boosted or cut. The bandwidth is determined by the parameter Mid Q
(see below).
HIGH: Cutoff frequency of the High filter. All frequencies above the adjusted
value are boosted or cut.
1) Press the left PARAMETER knob (45) to select the parameter
(LOW, MID or HIGH).
2) Turn the PARAMETER knob to change the cutoff frequency and center
frequency of the selected band.
Mid Q:
The Q factor determines the behavior of the filter. The higher the value,
the narrower the bandwidth. Mid Q affects the mids band.
• Turn the CONSOLE SETUP knob (51) to change the value of the Q factor.
Subsonic frequency:
You can adjust the cutoff frequency of the low-cut filter on each stereo channel.
All frequencies below the cutoff frequency are attenuated.
1) Press the right PARAMETER knob (45) to select the channel.
2) Turn the PARAMETER knob to change the cutoff frequency.
Exiting Channel Setup:
• Press the ESC push button (52) to exit Channel Setup.
