Chapter 15: Graphic Equaliser (GEQ)
This chapter describes the internal GEQs of the PRO X. Initially, it explains how to
use the PRO X Control Centre to congure and operate the GEQs and then details
all of their available control functions.
Overview of the GEQs
The PRO X Control Centre incorporates a graphic equaliser (GEQ), which is closely
based on the KLARK TEKNIK DN370 Graphic Equaliser (see Appendix C “KLARK
TEKNIK DN370 GEQ” for details). You can congure the PRO X Control Centre to
have set numbers of these GEQs up to a maximum of 36, and these are mutually
inclusive of the number of eects you can have. For every eects unit you lose,
you gain four GEQs.
Each GEQ is a single-channel, 31-band, third octave graphic equaliser, and GEQ
features switched 2nd order treble and bass lters and two notch lters with
variable frequency ranges.
The GEQ is primarily a mono process, but in the case of stereo groups or mix
channel outputs, a stereo GEQ is controlled from a single set of controls.
You can control the GEQs remotely using the KLARK TEKNIK DN9331 Rapide
Graphic Controller.
The GEQs are managed via a virtual eight-unit rack on the Graphic EQs screen.
From here you can open the window of any GEQ, which gives you full control over it.
About the Graphic EQs screen
The Graphic EQs screen represents a virtual eight-unit rack of user-congurable
GEQs. The number of units (shown in the Graphic EQs screen below) depends on
the number of GEQs congured (see “To congure the PRO Series Control Centre
with the number of GEQs and eects”).
Figure 21: Graphic EQs screen (congured for 12 GEQs)
The main sections of the Graphic EQs screen comprise:
• GEQ patching source The border to the left each GEQ unit will display its source,
if patched. In the diagram above, GEQ 1 has been patched to “AS3” (aux 3).
• GEQ rack overview This section contains an overview of the total number
of GEQ racks in use, and also aids GEQ navigation/selection. The number
of racks, which ranges from one to ve, is dependent on conguration.
• GEQ rack A ‘virtual’ rack containing up to eight GEQs. The rack also includes
STORE PRESET and LOAD PRESET user library buttons (see Chapter 24
“User Libraries (Presets)”).

About the GEQ window
On the GUI, the GEQ window shows a screen-width version of the selected GEQ’s
front panel. This gives you full control of the GEQ via the GUI controls (trackball and
left and right buttons) in the primary navigation zone. Below the GEQ is an
assignable controls panel (master bay GUI screen only), which lets you select
and control the GEQ faders (singly or in groups) and the controls on the right.
