19. KNOB and 20. DISPLAY

The powerful KNOB is a 24-detent rotary encoder with

a push-button action. It will normally scroll through the
snapshot number to be stored and recalled, from num-
ber 1 to 99 (see STORE [21] and RECALL [22]).

Any function edit will temporarily take over the KNOB

and DISPLAY while that function is being edited. The
DISPLAY shows messages of the edit options, as well
as parameters such as filter frequency, slope, and the
number of the horse or greyhound most likely to win the
next race on any given day. Try it!

Additionally, engaging the MIC function turns the

DISPLAY into an SPL meter for signals received by the
measurement microphone.

Pressing the KNOB exits any edit function or SPL

function, and returns operation to snapshot control.

Press and hold the KNOB to display the current soft-

ware build number (b18 for example).

21. STORE and 22. RECALL buttons

The STORE function allows you to save your current

EQ settings as a “snapshot” for later recall. Only the
levels of the 30 filters are stored.

Up to 99 snapshots can be stored on the Quad EQ.

To avoid accidentally storing over a favorite snapshot,
the STORE button has to be pressed for two seconds.
Normally, the STORE light will always be illuminated
to show that a snapshot can be stored. The RECALL
button illuminates if settings have already been stored
to the displayed number. For example, if snapshots 1, 2,
3, and 4 have had settings stored to them, the RECALL
button will light whenever one of these numbers is in
the DISPLAY. When number 5 is displayed, the RECALL
button will not light, indicating that nothing is stored to
this snapshot.

When a snapshot is recalled, the STORE light will go

out, indicating that the current settings are the same as
a snapshot. If you alter any parameters, the STORE light
will come back on, indicating that the current settings
are different from a snapshot.

When a snapshot is recalled, it is only recalled to the

currently selected channel. To recall a snapshot onto a
different channel:

1. Press STORE for two seconds to store the cur-

rent channel’s settings in a snapshot of your
choice.

2. Change to a different channel using the chan-

nel select buttons (A, B, C or D).

3. Find the snapshot number, then press RECALL

to paste it onto the new channel.

If a channel is locked, the RECALL button blinks,

indicating that the snapshot cannot be recalled to a
locked channel. The channel can be unlocked by press-
ing and holding both the EDIT [13] button and the
CHANNEL SELECT button (A, B, C or D).

Resetting all snapshots

Press and hold STORE and RECALL during power
up to erase all snapshots stored in memory and reset
the Quad EQ to its factory default settings.
