8 EUROPORT EPA900 User Manual
Graphic equalizer 3.6
The EPA900 is equipped with a 7-band graphic equalizer, which enables you to
adapt the sound to the room conditions and your own ideas for the sound.
The equalizer always processes the LEFT/MAIN and RIGHT/MAIN bus equally.
EQ ON
You can activate the equalizer using the EQ ON switch.
FBQ ON
Using the FBQ ON switch, you can activate the feedback detection circuit.
This function only has an effect if the equalizer is active. For every frequency
that causes feedback, the corresponding LED on a slide control lights up.
Lowering the displayed frequency minimizes feedback.
Effects unit 3.7
The EPA900 is equipped with an internal stereo effects processor, which offers
100 different standard effects, including reverb, chorus, flanger, and echo, as well
as various multieffects. It is permanently integrated into the mixer as a
Send/Return effect; i.e., an adjustable signal portion can be routed to the effects
unit from every input channel. The selected effect is applied to the signal
portions of the channels, and the signals are then mixed with the direct signals
via the stereo bus.
CLIP/SIG
The CLIP and SIG LEDs provide information on the signal level on the effects unit.
When continuously lit up, the CLIP LED indicates a signal overdrive. In this •
case, the effects unit input level should be reduced through lowering of the
Send level using the EFFECTS controls for the input channels.
The SIG LED signalizes that the effects processor is receiving a signal and is •
working. If the LED is not lit up, the input signal is too weak.
