OQ
FACTOR
(Channels
1-4)
;
Let's
say
that
we
have
chosen
4
center
frequency
with
the
MID
EQ
SHIFT
control
above.
We
know
the
center
frequency
of
the
band,
but
we
don't
know
the
bandwidth.
Put
another
way,
we
know
that
we
are
going
to
control
a
“group”
of
frequencies,
but
we
don't
know
how
big
this
group
is.
The
Q
FACTOR
control
lets
us
specify
a
NARROW
band
(small
group)
of
frequencies,
or
a
WIDE
band
(large
group
of
frequencies).
With
the
switch
in
the
NARROW
(up)
position,
the
EQ
curve
rolls
off
at
12
dB
per
octave,
on
either
side
of
the
center
frequency.
With
the
switch
in
the
WIDE
(down)
position,
the
EQ
curve
rolls
off
at
6
dB
per
octave
on
either
side
of
the
center
frequency.
(@) EFFECT
With
this
control,
each

can
individually
adjust
how
much
of
its
signal
will
go
the
effects
bus.

EFFECT
RETURN
After
the
signal
leaves
the
effects
bus,
via
the
EFFECT
OUT
on
the
rear
panel,
it
is
processed
by
your
effects
unit,
and
the
new,
modified
signal
is
returned
to
the
PMD740.
It
enters
the

RETURN
JACKS
on
the
rear

and
then
SOME
of
it
is
mixed
back
into
the

HOW
MUCH
of
this
signal
is
mixed
into
the
stereo
bus,
is
controlled
by
the

knob.

All

How
much

and
how

goes
to
the

is
controlled
by
the

CHANNEL
FADERS
The
CHANNEL
FADER
is
the
second
gain
stage.
Once
a
general
level
is
set
at
the
TRIM
control,
this
fader
can
be
used
to
make
further
adjustments
to
the
volume
of
the
signal.
The
signals
from
all
of
the
CHANNEL
FADERS
are
combined,
and
then
go
to
the
STEREO
BUS.
The
total
level
of
this
combined
signal
is
controlled
by
the
MASTER
FADER.
MASTER FADER
After
all
six
channels
of
the
mixer,
the
stereo
line
input
and
the
effects
return
have
been
combined
on
the
stereo
bus,
the
master
fader
controls
the
master

of
this
combined
signal
which
is
then
sent
to
the
stereo
line
outs,
and
to
the
headphones.
