GEQ Mode
This mode determines how many faders are used on the desk to control the graphic EQ bands.
The ‘Large’ 30-fader mode allows fast access on multiple faders, at the expense of access to the input
faders. (normal).
The ‘Small’ (8-fader) mode is used when the opertor requires access to input faders at all times.
Frequency bands can be scrolled in banks of 4 or 8 bands, using the Output Fader page buttons.
DELAY UNIT
This control allows the current delay time value on inputs, outputs and monitors to be displayed as
milliseconds, metres or feet & inches, allowing the operator to choose the most appropriate unit for
setting up delay.
Distance conversion assumes xed temperature of 20 degrees C/68 degrees F
The Delay unit setting is saved in the Show le.
EQ UNIT
This control allows the operation of the bandwidth controls in the EQ sections throughout the console to
be selected as either Octaves or Q-factor. Until now this has been xed as Q-factor.
The direction of the control is reversed between the two settings: In Q mode, clockwise narrows bandwidth,
in Octaves mode, clockwise widens bandwidth.
The ‘Octaves’ setting provides a more intuitive control in a musical context.
The setting of the control is saved in the Show le.
