VENUE Profile Guide140
Analog Mode An EQ with a response modeled on that of an an-
alog console renowned for its EQ section. Frequency range is
limited to match, and the outer bands provide shelving only.
Analog Q is expressed in octaves of bandwidth in the range 0.1
(left, a tenth of an octave) to 2 (right, two octaves.)
Gain, Frequency, and Q/Bandwidth
Each band of built-in parametric EQ provides the following
parameters, as available on input channels or FX returns:
Gain Boosts or cuts the corresponding band. LEDs around the
Gain encoder light from the center-point to the right (boost),
or from the center-point to the left (cut) to show current Gain.
Freq Sets the center or corner frequency, as follows:
• Freq sets the center frequency for the Hi-Mid and Lo-Mid
bands, and for the Hi and Lo filters when in Bell mode.
• Freq sets the corner frequency for the Hi and Lo filters
when in Shelf mode. (See “Bell and Shelf Modes for Hi
and Lo Filters” on page 140.)
Turning the encoder clockwise increases the frequency for
that band; turning it counter-clockwise decreases the fre-
quency. A single LED around the encoder shows the current
encoder setting. The available range of each band depends on
the EQ mode (Digital or Analog). See “Control Ranges for
Built-In Parametric EQ (All Modes)” on page 145.
Q (Q/Bandwidth) Controls Q (in digital mode) or bandwidth
(analog mode).
In Digital mode, Q determines Q factor. When the Hi or Lo
filters are in Shelf mode, the Q knob determines the Q of the
shelf.
In Analog mode, this control changes to a bandwidth con-
trol which performs essentially the same function.
Band In/Out Each of the available EQ bands can be taken in or
out (bypassed) using their encoder (or on-screen).
In the ACS EQ section, the Gain knob for each band serves
as the in/out control by pushing the encoder. The indicator
LED lights to indicate band In.
On-screen, a dedicated In/Out switch is located just below
each Gain knob.
Bell and Shelf Modes for Hi and Lo Filters
In digital EQ mode, the Hi and Lo filters on input channels
and FX returns can be toggled between Bell and Shelf modes.
When in Bell mode, the Hi or Lo filters function as a paramet-
ric EQ with variable Q. When in Shelf mode, the Hi module is
a high-shelf EQ, and the Lo module is a low-shelf EQ. For in-
structions on configuring these bands for Bell or Shelf mode,
see “Adjusting EQ” on page 140.
Adjusting EQ
You can adjust EQ controls in input channel strips, in the
ACS, and on-screen.
Adjusting HPF Controls
Each input strip provides HPF frequency control. HPF can be
adjusted using the Encoder HPF switch and row of encoders.
To adjust HPF:
1 Bank the Input section to the desired channels.
2 Press the HPF Encoder Assign switch.
3 Rotate the appropriate channel Encoder to adjust its HPF
frequency. Press the appropriate encoder shaft switch to toggle
HPF in or out.
Adjusting Channel Parametric EQ Controls
The EQ controls in the ACS provide a unified, consistent set of
controls for both built-in and plug-in EQ processing for the
targeted channel. Twelve dual-purpose rotary/switch encoders
control EQ parameters and their settings.
EQ plug-ins can map their controls to the ACS EQ section, and
all plug-ins can be controlled using the Output encoders in In-
sert mode.
The HPF does not change when the EQ is switched between
Digital and Analog mode.
