PEQ status
ON
Turns PEQ ON for the selected
Output(s).
off
Turns PEQ OFF (bypass) for
the selected Output(s).
RST (Reset)
Select and press ENTER to
restore default settings.
Selected
Output(s)
OUT1+2

OUT 1
View and adjust parameters for
Output 1 only.
OUT 2
View and adjust parameters for
Output 2 only.
EQ
1, 2, 3,
4, 5
Repeatedly pressing the EQ
button cycles through each of
the five EQ bands.
GAIN
-15dB to
+12dB
Amount of boost or cut.
FREQ
(Frequency)
20Hz to
20kHz
Filter center frequency.
BW
(Bandwidth) 1/24 to 4
octaves
Filter bandwidth (Q).
Description
Use the 5-bands of parametric equalization (PEQ) to
smooth out the frequency response of personal monitors, to
sweeten the overall mix, or to compensate for an artist’s hearing
loss.
Handy tip: You can equalize each side of a stereo mix differ-
ently by selecting and adjusting the OUT1 and OUT2 param-
eters individually instead of selecting OUT1+2.
Multi-Band Peak Limiter
Parameters
The Compressor may be used in either full-range (M-BAND
off) or multi-band (M-BAND on) modes. Repeatedly press the
COMPRESS button to move through each frequency band
when M-BAND is set to ON.
Pressing the LIMIT button displays this edit page:

Peak Limiter
Parameter Value Description
LIM status ON
Turns Limiter ON for the selected
Output(s).

Turns Limiter OFF (bypass) for
the selected Output(s).

BND
(Band)
1, 2, 3
Repeatedly pressing the LIMIT
button cycles through each of the
3 Limiter bands (when M-BAND
is set to ON).
THRSH
(Threshold)
-60dB to
0dB The signal level above which limit-
ing occurs.
ATCK
(Attack)
0.5ms to
100ms
Determines how quickly the
Limiter’s output volume is reduced
once the input volume exceeds the
Threshold.
REL
(Release) 1ms to
5sec
Determines how quickly the
Limiter’s output volume returns
to normal (unity) once the input
volume drops below Threshold.
M-BAND
ON Turns Multi-Band mode ON.
SET
Select and press ENTER to view
or adjust crossover frequencies.
off
Turns Multi-Band mode OFF.
Limiter works over the entire 20
Hz to 20 kHz range.
* Important note: the front panel Gain Reduction meter auto-
matically switches to display the amount of gain reduction being
applied to the currently selected band.
