filter mode). Low Q values affect a wide portion of
the spectrum, as shown below:

and high values affect a narrow frequency band:

Note that “intermediate values” are shown on the
encoders by dimmed LEDs, as above. The LED pat-
tern in Q mode is always symmetrical about the
upper center indicator.

Encoders used as pan controls

When the encoders are used to make pan settings, the
center pan position is represented in the same way as
unity gain on the EQ gain controls:

“Almost center” positions are shown in a similar way
to the “almost unity” gain position (that is, the center
LED is lit, along with the LED immediately next to
it, with the end LED on that side being dimmed).

When the pan position is moved to either the left or
the right of center, one (or two, to represent interme-
diate settings) LEDs light to show the current pan
position.

The illustrations below show the pan position at the
hard left position, and then at a position just right of
hard left.

Encoders used as aux send controls

When the encoders are used as aux send controls and
the control is turned clockwise, the LEDs light up,
following the “pointer” of the knob.

The number of LEDs lit depends on the aux send
level relative to unity position (0.0 dB).

Below this position, the LEDs light clockwise, with
intermediate positions shown by dimmed LEDs:

At the 0.0dB point, the LEDs representing values
below this point are dimmed, and the “0” LED lights.

When aux sends are set above the 0.0dB level, the
LEDs above the unity point light in sequence (inter-
mediate positions shown by dimmed LEDs), with the
LEDs below the unity point being dimmed. The dia-
gram here shows a setting just below maximum
(9.6 dB):
