Input Dynamic EQ
There are 3 bands of dynamic EQ available on each input. Each band has three screens associated with it. For more
information on how the dynamic EQ works, please see page 44. The first edit screen shows the threshold for the band,
and the ratio for the dynamic action, along with the mode. The gain reduction meter to the left on the bottom line of the
display shows gain reduction (or expansion) in 0.5dB steps. The band can by bypassed by pressing the BYPASS

BYPASS key
whereupon the meter will be replaced by BYPASS

Mode is indicated at the right hand side of the top line like this “DEQ1+↑X”. In this case it represents “Boost Above”
mode, with the X showing the filter type – parametric, high or low shelf or full bandwidth. The plus or minus shows boost
or cut and the arrow shows above or below the threshold (↓). Filter type is changed by setting the ratio to 1:1 (or
pressing BYPASS

shelving filters and the full bandwidth mode (compressor or expander), please see page 49.

NEXT shows the attack and release times, alongside the operating mode. The mode can be changed by setting
the ratio to 1:1 and then turning the left encoder. Note that release time cannot be set to faster than the attack time and
will be forced to track it if you increase the attack to a greater value than the release. This is to prevent introducing
distortion that can be caused due to the detector tracking individual cycles of the waveform, rather than its envelope.
There is more information about this in the section on page 50.

NEXT shows the filter parameters for the band. Note that gain value shown is the maximum (or minimum)
allowable amount of gain change that may be applied – so even if the signal is far over the threshold with a high ratio, the
gain of the band won’t change by more than this value.
