2.3 The Fat Channel

2.3.2 Dynamics Processing and EQ

The main function of the Fat Channel is to provide dynamics processing and ltering for every input

and output on your StudioLive. The rotary encoders work in conjunction with the meters directly

above them to adjust the dynamics processing and EQ. The Fat Channel’s processing section

consists of ve parts: Hi Pass lter, Noise Gate, Compressor, Limiter, and semi-parametric EQ.

Each can be turned on or off and controlled separately. The signal ows as follows:

Phase Reverse button

Reverses the Phase of the Selected Channel.

Push this button to invert the phase of the selected

channel’s signal (that is, to alter the phase by 180°). The

button will illuminate, indicating that the phase reverse is

active. The Phase Reverse button can be used to correct

audio signals that are out of phase and cancelling each

other out.

Phase reverse is only available on the 16 channels of the

input bus.

High Pass filter

Engages the High Pass Filter.

The High Pass lter section consists of an encoder and a

meter. You will notice that the there is a frequency range

to the left of the meter. The high-pass lter’s threshold

can be set from 24 Hz to 1 kHz. When the meter is set to

its lowest point, the lter is off.

Remember, that all frequencies below a high-pass lter’s

threshold are attenuated. See section 5.3.1 for more

details.

The high-pass lter is only available on the 16 channels

of the input bus.

Gate On/Off button

Turns the Gate On and Off for the Selected Channel.

This button engages and disengages the gate for the

selected channel. It will illuminate to indicate that the

gate has been enabled.

The gate is available for all input and output buses.
