QUANTUM User Manual
When in the broadband mode, not only do you have access to the equalizer but also another
EQ in the sidechain. Having EQ in the sidechain lets you boost or cut various frequencies prior
to the dynamics processor detector. Cutting low-end in the sidechain will mean the detection
circuit will see less low-end, thus the signal will be compressed based on it's high frequency
content.º
.                 
Within the SEQ menu on the QUANTUM the following parameters are user adjustable: Press the
EQ/XOVER button twice when in non-multiband mode to access the SEQ.
Schain EQ On/Off
This control turns all 5 bands on/off.
Type Const Q / Adapt Q
This controls all 5 bands. All bands must use the same Q type.
SEQ1 FC 20.0 Hz to 20.0 kHz
This controls the corner frequency for the low frequency shelving EQ band.
Slope 3 to 12 dB / Octave
Sets the slope of the shelf. 
Level -12 to + 12 dB
Amount of boost or cut. Adjustable in 1/2 dB steps.
SEQ2, 3, 4 FC 20.0 Hz to 20.0 kHz
This controls the center point for the parametric EQ.
Q 0.25 to 16.0
Sets the width of the boost / cut. 
Level -12 to + 12 dB
Amount of boost or cut. Adjustable in 1/2 dB steps.
SEQ5 FC 20.0 Hz to 20.0 kHz
This controls the corner frequency for the high frequency shelving EQ band.
