the PAN knob will appear if the signal is mono, and the BALANCE knob will appear if the

signal is stereo.

is an overall on/off switch for the signals sent from

the channel to the STEREO/MONO bus.

When a MATRIX, STEREO, or MONO channel is selected:

1

BALANCE knob

If the signal on the selected channel is stereo, the

BALANCE knob will appear, enabling you to adjust

the volume balance for the left and right channels.

If the channel signal is monaural, this knob cannot

be used.

Press the knob to open the TO STEREO 8ch

window.



INPUT DELAY field

This field enables you to view the delay settings.

1

ON indicator

Indicates the on/off status of the delay.

2

Delay time

The delay value is displayed by milliseconds (ms) and also by currently-selected scale. If

the scale uses units of ms, the value in the bottom row will not be displayed. Only the

ms value appears in the middle row.

Press this field to open the INPUT DELAY 8ch window.



HPF field (input channels only)

This field enables you to set the HPF. If an output channel

is selected, a gray circle will appear in location

1

, and

2

will not be displayed.

1

HPF knob

Sets the HPF cutoff frequency.

2

ON button

Switches the HPF on or off.



EQ parameter field

This field displays the 4-band EQ parameter settings. Press each

knob to open the HPF/EQ 1ch window.

1

Q knob

Specifies the Q for each band.

If the HIGH band filter type is set to LPF or H. SHELF (high-

shelving), or the LOW band filter type is set to L. SHELF

(low-shelving), the Q knob will not be displayed. Only the

filter type name will be displayed.

NOTE

•

Fully rotating the HIGH band Q knob on the panel counter-

clockwise while pressing and holding it down will set the filter

type to LPF. Fully rotating the Q knob clockwise while pressing

and holding it down will set the filter type to high-shelving.

•

Fully rotating the LOW band Q knob on the panel clockwise while

pressing and holding it down will set the filter type to low-

shelving.

•

If an output channel has been selected, fully rotating the LOW

band Q knob on the panel counter-clockwise while pressing and holding it down will set the filter

type to HPF.

•

You can also switch the filter type in the HPF/EQ 1ch window.

2

FREQUENCY knob

Sets the center frequency (or cutoff frequency) for each band.

3

GAIN knob

Sets the amount of cut/boost for each band.

NOTE

•

If the HIGH band filter type is set to LPF, you can switch LPF on or off using the HIGH band GAIN

knob on the panel.

•

If the LOW band filter type is set to HPF, you can switch HPF on or off using the LOW band GAIN

knob on the panel.
