5. Should I use the midrange attenuation Program for my 
own mixes? 
 
This depends entirely on your taste and the venue and 
objective for the recording. However, for the best recording 
possible, the midrange should be kept flat. This will give the 
truest indication of  the response and of  any EQ previously 
done to the recording.  
 
6. With the parametric EQ, can I model any brand of  
studio reference monitors? 
 
You can get a reasonable approximation of  the frequency 
response, but there is more to replicating a speaker than its 
frequency response. For example, certain drivers (e.g. woofers) 
may have good transient response. Others may not. Both 
could yield the same steady state (continuous tone) response 
but sound completely different to something with a fast 
transient response such as a snare drum or clapping.  By 
popular demand, one of  the Presets is modeled after the 
ubiquitous black monitor with white cones, but it is a rough 
approximation. There are two other speaker responses that are 
emulated, as well. See if  you can figure out their identities! 
 
7. How does the level control on the rear panel differ 
from the front panel Gain Trim control? 
 
The level control on the back attenuates the input signal to the 
speaker.  The Gain Trim control attenuates or boosts the 
output of  the DSP.  For large source signals you want to 
attenuate the input level so as to avoid saturating (clipping) the 
input Analog to Digital converter (ADC). The Gain Trim 
control should be adjusted to avoid saturating the output 
Digital to Analog converter (DAC). This must be done by 
listening for output distortion. The user should also be careful 
to avoid setting the attenuation levels too low, as this could 
lead to a loss of  resolution as well as a higher noise floor.  
 
To assist you with these adjustments, the ProLinear DSP 
provides the ability to monitor the input level to the ADC on 
the front panel display. For instructions on how to do this, see
