Graphic EQ controls

: Thirty bands are provided for each channel. Each EQ slider has a resolution of 256 steps. The center detent position

guarantees a flat response. Slide control travel is 25mm (DEQ 60) or 45mm (DEQ 60L) with easy-to-read soft-touch handles.

2

LOW, MID, and HIGH TONE controls:

Independent, Accelerated-slope™, 3-band TONE controls allow easy, intuitive adjustment of tone

response without the hassle of adjusting 30 bands. The TONE controls use 12 dB per octave Linkwitz-Riley filters. The Low/Mid crossover

point is 300 Hz. The Mid/High crossover point is 4 kHz. As with the EQ sliders, center detent provides a guaranteed flat response. The range of

control is +6 dB to off. Control resolution is 256 steps.

3

LOW CUT and HIGH CUT FILTERS:

The LOW Cut Filter is adjustable over four octaves in 64 steps with a frequency range of 15 Hz to

240 Hz. The HIGH Cut Filter is adjustable over two octaves in 64 steps from 5 kHz to 20 kHz.

4

LEVEL controls

serve two purposes, when used with the Meters (9):

1) Adjust the INPUT signal level to 0 dBu for good headroom and signal to noise.

2) Compensate for changes in signal level due to filter boost/cut settings by adjusting the OUTPUT signal level to 0 dBu.

The operation of the OUTPUT LEVEL control is reversed. Pushing the control up reduces gain. Pushing the control down increases the gain.

This allows the user to easily adjust sensitivity without affecting the output signal level. Simply grasp both input and output controls and move

together. The ranges of both controls is ±12 dB with a resolution of 256 steps.

5

BYPASS switches

have two possible modes of operation. If the rear panel switch is set to BYPASS ALL, all filters and level controls are by-

passed. If the rear panel switch is set to BYPASS FILTERS, only the filters are bypassed. Filters include EQ, TONE and CUT. Automatic relay

bypass hardwires Inputs to Outputs in the event of a power failure.

6

A

/ B switches determine which set of controls is used by the A-channel or B-channel. Controls affected by the A / B switch are EQ, TONE,

CUT FILTERS, LEVEL, Q switches and ±12 / ±6 dB switches. Bypass switches are not affected.

7

PERFECT-Q

: What you see is what you get. PROPORTional-Q: Classic smooth response. Most users will prefer the PERFECT-Q position.

Some users may prefer the PROPORT-Q setting. See Graphic EQ Controls on page Manual-4.

8

±12 / ±6 dB switch changes the boost / cut of the Graphic EQ (1) for each channel. Use the ±6 dB unless you really need ±12 dB, the resolu-

tion is better.

9

Input and Output Meters are peak responding and indicate the signal level in dBu. Peak-dBu is held and displayed for 1.5 seconds. Attack is

instantaneous. Decay is 500 ms for a 20 dB step.

0

When the POWER indicator is on, it indicates that power is turned on. This works with 4 on the Rear Panel (next page).

q

DEQ 60L CUT-ONLY mode switch: when pressed in, as shown by the LED, sets the range of the DEQ 60L EQ sliders 0 to -12 dB (gray num-

ber scale). When the switch is actuated, the DEQ 60L output audio is muted and slowly increased to prevent volume surprises.
