67 - 11-BAND STEREO GRAPHIC EQUALIZER
The master channel employs a 11-band stereo equalizer, which gets activated through the use of the ON button. The
EQ’s insert point is post master fader and pre power amplifier. The EQ is bypassed when the EQ ON switch is not locked
in its “ON” position. Eleven frequency bands offering 10 dB amplification/attenuation and a quality of Q = 2 allow shap-
ing the overall sound to meet your personal preferences or to optimally match it to the acoustic conditions of different
locations.

GEQ setting instructions:
The frequency ranges as well as the characteristics of the EQ faders are very praxis-oriented. In case you want to have
a clear and highly intelligible sound, which, as a side effect, provides the cymbals with more crisp, you should raise the
levels of the 12 kHz or 6.3 kHz band a bit. If the MIDs are nasaling you should attenuate the mid range (630 Hz to
2.5 kHz) by some decibels. To provide the kick drum with more punch you have to boost the low frequency range, using
the 63 Hz or the 125 Hz controls. In case the overall sound is undefined with too much bass, lowering the levels of these
two frequency bands will solve the problem.
However, especially with equalization you should be aware of the fact that in most cases less adjustments provide better
results. Thus, your first choice should be to establish the mix using only the input channel controls and see if you get a
satisfactory result. If so, you can use the graphic EQ for the MONITOR bus, where in most cases it is more needed.
