Graphic EQ operations
The QL series console enables you to mount a GEQ in GEQ racks 1–8 and patch it to the
insert-out/in of an input channel, a MIX/MATRIX channel, or STEREO/MONO channel. You
can also mount it in EFFECT racks 1–8 (FX 1–8) and patch it to the insert-out/in of an input
channel, MIX/MATRIX channel or STEREO/MONO channel. The gain of each band can be
adjusted using the faders and [ON] keys in the Channel Strip section.
The following two types of GEQ are provided.
 31BandGEQ
This is a monaural 31-band GEQ. Each band is 1/3
octave wide, the adjustable gain range is ±15 dB, and
the gain of all thirty-one bands can be adjusted.
If a 31BandGEQ is mounted in a rack, one channel of
input and output can be used for that rack.
 Flex15GEQ
This is a monaural 15-band GEQ. Each band is 1/3
octave wide, and the adjustable gain range is ±15 dB.
The Flex15GEQ enables you to adjust the gain for
any fifteen of the same bands as the thirty-one bands
of the 31bandGEQ. (Once you have used up fifteen
bands of adjustment, you will not be able to adjust the gain of another band until you reset a
previously-adjusted band to the flat setting.)
A rack for which the Flex15GEQ is selected will have two Flex15GEQ units (shown as “A” and
“B” respectively) mounted in that rack, and will allow two channels of input and output.
