Precision Equalizer Controls
The easy to use Precision Equalizer features stepped controls throughout for
easy recall. Both the left and right channels feature four bands of EQ,
grouped in two overlapping pairs. There are two bands for low frequencies
(L1 and L2), and two for highs (H1 and H2). There is also a shelving or
peak/notch filter available for each band, along with five peak/notch (Q) re-
sponses per band. The high-pass filter is a far-reaching 18dB per octave,
which enables precise filtering of power-robbing sub-harmonic content, or
other creative uses.
The Precision Equalizer also features flexibility in auditioning. There are three
separate EQ configurations, allowing selection of two complete sets of stereo
parameters or the Dual mode when disparate channel adjustments are neces-
sary. In addition, parameter values can be easily transferred between param-
eter groups using the Copy buttons.
Control Grouping
The L and R equalizer sections are independent
groups of parameters, each controlling one side
(left or right) of the stereo source signal.
The L and R controls are linked except when in
Dual mode. In Dual mode, control groups L and
R can be independently adjusted.
Modes
The Mode switches define the operating mode of Precision
Equalizer. The currently active mode is indicated by a blue
light. Each mode is detailed below.
Stereo Mode In Stereo mode, the L and R equalizer sections both control one side of the ste-
reo source signal. The L and R controls are linked in stereo mode.
In stereo mode there are two sets of EQ settings (referred to as A and B), with
each set containing the full set of L and R parameter values (the high-pass filter
value is global per preset). This feature enables easy switching between two
EQ settings for comparison purposes. Both the A and B parameter sets are
contained within a single Precision Equalizer preset.
