STEREO GRAPHIC EQUALIZER
Careful use of the graphic equalizer can help the overall system
sound more natural in less than perfect acoustic environments and
allows to reduce feedback. For a proper setting of the controls of
the graphic equalizer consider the following:
• Avoid settings with all sliders up or all sliders down. This would
involve a useless increase in noise or a reduction of dynamic range.
• Choose carefully the placement of loudspeakers and micropho-
nes to minimize feedback before using the equalizer, in order to
get the most volume before feedback is heard. Otherwise you risk
removing significant amounts of your program material and altering
too much your sounds.
DUAL STEREO MULTIEFFECTS PROCESSOR
The built-in effects processor has been designed for maximum ease
of use. It sports a wide range of high quality programs, all carefully
tailored to today's music production requirements. At startup, programs
19 and 61 are auto-loaded (HALO and CHAMBER effects).
EFFECTS SETUP
1 – Activate E1 and E2 by pushing their
ON buttons. A green LED lights up on each
processor to signal its status.
2 – Bring the effects faders E1/E2 and the L/R
master faders near to the '0' position on their
scale (at working level).
3 – Set the channel volume and the effects
sends levels with E1 and E2 controls on the
input channels you wish to add effects to.
4 – Carefully inspect the input levels on the
LED bargraphs of both processors:
• the red LEDs should blink occasionally.
• if the red LEDs are constantly lit, you could
suffer severe distortion on the effect signal.
This isn't due to the processor itself, rather it
is common on digital processors of any price
because of the digital technology itself.
In case, reduce the levels of the E1 and E2
controls on the input channels until the red
LEDs of LED bargraph light up only on
loudest peaks.

ENGLISH
• With the graphic equalizer's controls set to the zero mark
(centered) adjust the tone controls of each channel until you get
the tonal color you want for each microphone or instrument.
Once you have adjusted the tone controls of each channel, start
adjusting the controls of the graphic equalizer to compensate for
the acoustic environment and speaker placement.
This will allow you to compensate for different acoustic envi-
ronments acting only on the equalizer's setting with no need of
altering too much the tone controls settings of each channel.
5 – You can alter the effect timbre with the TONE control on the
effects processor: turn it counter-clockwise to 'brighten' the effects,
or clockwise to 'darken' it.
6 – Route the effects to the main outputs with the BAL control,
and/or to the stage monitors with the A, B, C , D, E and F controls,
then set their volume faders at the desired levels.
7 – Select the group of effects (E1 or E2) on which you want to
operate with the E1/E2 button. The selected group of programs will
be shown on the correspondent line on the display.
Now select the program you wish to use with the PROGRAMS
knob.
Use the LOAD button to load the selected program.
= shows that the selected program has been loaded and is active.
= shows that the selected program has not been loaded yet.
n Use the chart on the next page as a reference to recognize the
programs.
n Feel free to experiment with any program until you get the sound
that most satisfies your taste.
