Basic Controls and What They Do

There are two main types of controls. The first is a potentiometer (knob display) type control. The second type control is the switch type button. Each of the five bands has its own five dedicated controls:

1. A large potentiometer knob display control to select frequencies (Hz).
2. A large potentiometer knob display control to select levels (dB).
3. A smaller potentiometer style control knob display to select Q and filter type.
4. A null button that resets the levels in that band to 0dB.
5. An In/Out button that turns the EQ in that band on or off (Bypass).

Besides the five controls within each of the five bands, there are also a few global controls:

1. An In/Out button that turns all five EQ bands on or off (global bypass).
2. A pull-down menu for selecting channels.
3. Two toggle buttons that allows for comparing between two different EQ settings (compare).
4. Switches for selecting one or two channel displays in the graphical EQ curve display.
