2.12 Graphic EQ
See figure 17. Click the Graphic EQ button in the
Adjustment for Controller window to open another
window offering a graphical view of a 28-band
equalizer. Use it to adjust the frequency response of
the speakers addressed by the DFC to suit the given
venue's acoustics.
Adjusting frequencies
Use the graphic EQ's virtual faders to adjust the
given DFC's frequency response. The control range
for each frequency band is -18 dB to dB +12.
To adjust the graphic EQ, click the knob of the desired
frequency band's virtual fader, hold the button down,
and drag the mouse up or down. When you click
the fader, its color changes to blue and the color of
its knob to red. Once you have dragged the virtual
fader to the desired position, release the mouse
button.
You can also adjust frequency response settings
using the computer keyboard's cursor keys as well
as the Pos 1 and End key. The Q and P cursor keys
serve to select a fader, the R and S cursor keys to
move it. Pressing the Pos 1 key selects the fader
for the frequency band at around 31.5 Hz and
pressing the End key selects the fader for the 16-
kHz frequency band.
Adjusting gain settings
Click one of the two buttons in the Gain display to
adjust the graphic EQ for the given DFC.
This is done in 0.5 dB steps within a range of -12 dB
to dB +12.
Bypass and EQ Flat
Click the Bypass button to remove the graphic EQ
from the signal path (for example, to make A/B
comparisons of a processed / unprocessed audio
signal). When activated, the lettering of the Bypass
button changes from Off to On and its color from
grey to red.
The EQ Flat button resets all of the graphic EQ's
virtual faders as well as the gain settings to a value
of 0 dB. When you click EQ Flat, a window appears
asking you if you really want to reset the graphic
EQ.
Copy EQ and Insert EQ
Copy EQ and Insert EQ make it very easy to load
one graphic EQ setup to another graphic EQ.
To do this, click the Copy button of the graphic EQ
whose settings you want to transfer. Then activate
the graphic EQ to which want to copy the settings.
This can be the EQ of another or DFC group.
The copied setup is loaded to this graphic EQ
when you click the Insert button.
Copy EQ and Insert EQ comprise the graphic EQ
frequency and gain settings.
Send in the Graphic EQ window
Click the Send button to send the graphic EQ settings
to the given DFC and activate them there. This
is not necessary if the option Auto Send in the
Options menu has been activated, because then all
edited settings are immediately sent to the DFCs.
The Send button is shaded grey when the option
Auto Send is activated because there is no need to
click it.
