3 Basics of Equalization

Basic operation: Channel Level mode

Channel Level mode allows you to adjust the output level of

channels A and B independently or simultaneously. Use this

feature to compensate for a reduction or increase of signal level

due to the equalization curve you have selected.

To enter this mode you must start from Program mode. Once you

are there, you can enter Channel Level mode in one of two ways:

• On Channel A, press and hold the 16 kHz button and then

press the 20 kHz button, or vice versa

• On Channel B, press and hold the 25 Hz button and then

press the 31.5 Hz button, or vice versa. (This option only

works when the channels are not linked.)

Note: If you press only one Band Gain button, you won't

enter Channel Level mode--you may have entered Band Edit

mode by mistake.

Once the DEQ230 is in Channel Level mode, you will see the

Band Gain LEDs go completely dark except for the ones over the

buttons mentioned in the two steps above.

From this point onward, Channel Level mode operates exactly like

Band Edit mode: the settings for Release Edit Group and Edit

Time Out are in effect; if you select both channels A and B for

editing, you have selected an Edit Group; the Relative Gain

Display and Proportional Gain Memory will govern the gain

adjustments made to the Edit Group.

The only real difference between the way this mode and Edit

mode operate is in the amount of boost that is allowed to occur in

Channel Level mode. The DEQ230 will allow each channel to be

boosted up to +6 dB, with an allowable cut range of -12 dB. If

you want another 6 dB of gain (for a total of 12 dB), you will find

that in the Master Level function in Setup mode. But remember,

the settings for Channel Level mode are stored with each program.

The settings for the Master Level function are not.

To exit Channel Level mode and return to Program mode, deselect

both channels or press the [LINK/EXIT] button.

For information on selecting

an Edit Group, see page 34.

For information on the

elease Edit Group function,

see page 45. For information

on the Edit Time Out feature,

see page 46. For information

on the Relative Gain Display,

see page 34. For information

on Proportional Gain

emory, see page 34.

Once you are in Channel Level

mode, you must press both of

the appropriate Band Gain

buttons on one or the other

side of the Numeric LED

isplay in order to select or

deselect one of the channels. If

ou press only one Band Gain

button, the channel selection

will not change.

f the Numeric LED Display

shows “Li,” when you press

[

BAND SELECT] buttons on

Channel B, it means the

channels are linked. Either

make the edits on Channel A,

or return to Program mode

and press [LINK/EXIT] to

unlink the channels.
