One of the most useful features of the DPS24 is that the row of encoders directly above the faders can be switched
to become a complete channel’s worth of parameters allowing you to have ‘hands-on’ control of panning, EQ and
FX/Aux sends. This ‘mode’ is enabled by pressing the Q-CHANNEL switch located centrally on the upper panel.
When this key is illuminated, the encoders function as a complete channel strip as follows from left to right:
PAN
LOW SHELF EQ FREQUENCY
1
LF GAIN
SWEEP EQ FREQUENCY
SWEEP EQ GAIN
SWEEP EQ ‘Q’
HIGH SHELF EQ FREQUENCY
1
HF GAIN
FX/AUX 1 SEND LEVEL
FX/AUX 2 SEND LEVEL
FX/AUX 3 SEND LEVEL
FX/AUX 4 SEND LEVEL
1
Although these EQ controls are labelled LOW and HIGH, they actually cover the full frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz.
However, LOW is a low frequency shelving filter and HIGH is a high frequency shelving filter.
