The Spectrum EQ Window
The EQ section can also be displayed and edited “visually”. This is done in the Spectrum EQ floating window. Besides
the EQ functionality, the Spectrum EQ also features a spectrum analyzer which displays the audio frequency content
of the selected mixer channel in real-time. Here is how you can work with the Spectrum EQ:
1. Select “Show Spectrum EQ Window” from the Window menu (or press [F2]), or click the Spectrum EQ Window
button on the desired channel strip (see “Spectrum EQ Window button”) or on the device in the rack:
The Spectrum EQ window shows up and the (pre-Fader) frequency content of the currently selected mixer chan-
nel is displayed in gray during playback:

! The LPF and HPF buttons are only present when the “FILTERS TO DYN S/C” button is off.
D Click and drag the Spectrum EQ window frame to resize the window horizontally and vertically as desired.
D Select the desired mixer channel for the Spectrum EQ by selecting it from the drop-down list at the bottom of
the window.
HF Gain/Frequency The HF section provides high frequency shelving equalization. Frequencies above the set corner Frequency will be
cut or boosted by the set HF Gain amount.
The HF Gain control can cut or boost the selected frequency range +/- 20dB and the HF Frequency can be set
between 1.5kHz - 22kHz.
HF BELL mode When this button is activated, the HF EQ will switch to peaking characteristics. This means it works like a regular
parametric EQ band, cutting or boosting the signal around the set frequency. Bell mode has a fixed bandwidth or
"Q" (see below).
HMF
Gain/Frequency/Q
The high medium frequency EQ is fully parametric. HMF Gain is adjustable +/- 20dB. Center frequency range is
600 Hz - 7 kHz. The “Q” parameter adjusts the bandwidth around the set center frequency. Q range is 0.70 - 2.50.
The higher the Q value, the narrower the affected frequency range - except in “E” mode (see above).
LMF
Gain/Frequency/Q
The low medium frequency EQ is also fully parametric. LMF Gain is adjustable +/- 20dB. Center frequency range
is 200 Hz - 2 kHz. The “Q” parameter adjusts the bandwidth around the set center frequency. Q range is 0.70 -
2.50. The higher the Q value, the narrower the affected frequency range - except in “E” mode (see above).
LF Gain/Frequency The LF section provides low frequency shelving equalization. All frequencies below the set Frequency will be cut
or boosted by the set LF Gain amount.
The LF Gain control can cut or boost the selected frequency range +/- 20dB and the LF Frequency can be set
between 40 Hz - 600 Hz.
LF BELL mode This works in the same way as described above for the HF filter, but affects the LF filter.
