The Programmable EQ is a compact, 7-band digital equalizer with four user preset locations. The digital nature of the unit offers a significant advantage over analog equalizers in that presets can be easily saved and recalled. An 8th band at 62Hz can be edited using the Octave Extend Backpage function. All presets can be accessed via the footswitch. Note: Use of a non-Source Audio power supply may damage the unit and void the warranty.
See the MIDI implementation table page 6 for more details. The left and right arrow buttons select the frequency band to be adjusted and the main encoder knob adjusts the level of the selected band up or down.
The center frequency in Hz of each band is indicated at the bottom of the display. Band Select Buttons: The band select buttons flank the display and are indicated by left and right arrows. Press a corresponding button to select a higher or lower frequency to be edited.
Encoder: The main knob on the unit is an encoder style control that allows incremental up or down level changes to the selected frequency band in 1dB steps. The display will update to show the saved equalizer curve and output for each preset location. When any of the controls are changed from their saved value, the preset LEDs will begin to blink to indicating that the preset has been edited. To save the new settings, press and hold the SAVE button for two seconds.
The preset LED will blink 3 times quickly when the saving process is complete. OUTPUT: This small knob adjust the final output volume after the equal- izer, it can be use to compensate the overall volume for any loss or gain in the equalizer. This way, the brightness of the OUTPUT knob will give some indication of the output volume setting when scrolling through presets.
