(which Gorresponds to a bandwidth of around 1.5 octaves) allowing +/- 15dB cut or
boost over a moderately broad band of frequencies. The centre frequency is selected
via the dedicated variable frequency control, and the required amount of cut or boost is
applied using the associated gain control. The range of frequencies selectable is 150Hz
to 7kHz.
You should frequently AIB the sound you are Equalising by pressing and depressing
the EQ button, it is astonishing how quickly the ear can adjust to changes. By making
frequent comparisons you can make sure you do not stray from the required sound. It
is also worth spending some time getting used to the EQ on the M 1 - it sounds great
and you'll be amazed how versatile and musical it can be.
Insertion Points
The insert points are configured to be post the input amplifier with its valve stage, but
pre EQ and fader. Typical applications include the connection of a compressor (for
example the TL Audio 5021) into the channel, or perhaps a dedicated outboard
equaliser (e.g. the 5013) for extensive EQ correction or effect.
Aux Sends
Each channel strip has 2 auxiliary sends, one of which can be set to pre fade send. The
pre fade send would typically be used for creating a headphone cue, whilst the post
fade send would be used as an effects send (i.e. reverb, etc). Aux I is switch able to
pre, whilst Aux 2 is permanently fixed to post fade.
Direct Output
The Direct Output is configured to be post the input amplifier with its valve stage, the
insertion point and EQ, but pre the mute switch and fader. The signal sent to the
recorder (or PA system, etc) therefore has the valve warmth and optional EQ and
external processing (e.g. compression).
The level of the Direct Output is controlled by the input Gain control, whilst the output
to the mix bus is controlled by the fader.
Pan Control
The pan control positions the image within the stereo field, from fully left in the
anticlockwise position, through centre at the dented position to fully right in the
clockwise position. The gain law is -3dB at the centre.
