Using the EQ Graph Display
The on-screen EQ graph lets you use the mouse to adjust fre-
quency and gain for any available EQ band.
To adjust EQ on-screen using the Graph display:
1 Select a channel on-screen.
2 Click the EQ In switch to put the EQ in circuit.
3 Drag the handles in the on-screen EQ graph display for each
EQ band (Lo, Lo-Mid, Hi-Mid, or Hi), as follows:
• Drag a handle right or left to increase or decrease fre-
quency.
• Drag a handle up or down to increase or decrease gain.
Adjusting EQ Plug-Ins
EQ plug-ins can map their gain, frequency, and Q/bandwidth
controls to corresponding encoders in the ACS.
When a plug-in provides additional parameters beyond those
that map to the dedicated EQ encoders, you can use the Out-
put encoders.
To adjust an EQ plug-in from the console:
1 Target the channel with the plug-in by pressing the channel
Select switch.
2 Press the plug-in Select switch in the ACS.
3 Do one of the following:
• If the EQ plug-in maps correctly, adjust parameters by
pressing or turning the corresponding encoders in the
ACS EQ section.
• If the EQ plug-in does not map to the ACS controls, press
the Insert Mode switch in the Output section. Use the
Output encoders to adjust parameters; use the Previous
Page and Next page switches to access other pages, bands,
and parameters.
Channel Modes Affecting EQ
The following features affect operation of built-in EQ.
Dyn Pre EQ
By default, built-in Dynamics processing occurs before
built-in EQ processing in the signal chain of input channels.
This can be changed on a per-channel basis by toggling the
channel’s Dyn Pre EQ setting.
To toggle the Dyn Pre EQ setting of an input channel:
1 Target the channel whose Dyn Pre EQ mode you want to
change by pressing its Select switch.
2 In the on-screen channel Config section, click the Dyn Pre EQ
switch. When enabled, the Dyn Pre EQ switch LED lights.
Input Direct Mode
Input Direct mode lets you bypass the built-in dynamics and
EQ processing, and all inserts on Input Channels and FX Re-
turns.
To toggle Input Direct model:
1 Target the input channel by pressing its Select switch, and
make sure the Inputs page is displayed.
2 Click the Input Direct button in the channel Config section in
the upper right corner of the screen. When enabled, the Input
Direct LED lights.
Graphic EQ for Outputs
A built-in 31-band Graphic EQ can be inserted on Mains,
Groups, Auxes, Matrixes, and PQs. The Graphic EQ provides
+/– 12 dB of gain and constant Q.
Assigning a Graphic EQ to a mono channel uses one available
Graphic EQ. Assigning a Graphic EQ to a stereo channel uses
two available Graphic EQs.
Graphic EQs can be adjusted on-screen, or using the input fad-
ers, which provide access to two banks of 16 frequency bands
each.
Dragging handles in the EQ graph display
All plug-ins, including EQ plug-ins that do not map directly
to dedicated EQ encoders, can be controlled using the Out-
put encoders in Insert mode.
For more information, see Chapter 18, “Plug-Ins.”
