User manual RANE PEQ 55

[. . . ] Filter bands A1 and B1 feature a switchable LOW SHELF response. Bands A5 and B5 feature a switchable HIGH SHELF response. Further flavor the mix using the channel TONE controls and CUT FILTERS. The PEQ's A/B switches are an especially unique feature. [. . . ] Phase shift is zero degrees with the controls at their center detent. Only the A-channel Tone controls are active in 10-BAND mode. Cut Filters 2nd-order Butterworth LOW- and HIGHCUT FILTERS are provided for each channel. The range of the LOW-CUT Filter is 15 Hz to 240 Hz. The range of the HIGH-CUT Filter is 5 kHz to 20 kHz. Only the A-channel controls are active in 10-BAND mode. +10 +5 Low +6, Mid `0', Hi +6 Low `0', Mid +6, Hi `0' d b u 0 -5 -10 -15 -20 -25 -30 -35 -40 Low Off, Mid `0', Hi Off 20 50 100 200 500 Low `0', Mid Off, Hi `0' Hz 1k 2k 5k 10k 20k +10 +5 d b u 0 -5 -10 -15 -20 -25 -30 -35 -40 20 50 100 200 500 Hz 1k 2k 5k 10k 20k Manual- In and Out Level controls LEVEL controls serve three purposes, with the assistance of the In and Out Meters: 1. Adjust the IN signal level for good headroom and signal-to-noise. Adjust the OUT signal level to compensate for changes in signal level due to filter boost/cut settings. The operation of the OUT LEVEL control is reversed from the IN LEVEL. Pushing the control down increases the gain. To easily adjust sensitivity without affecting the output signal level, grasp the IN and OUT controls and move them together. Only the A-channel IN and OUT LEVELs are active in 10-BAND mode. In and Out Meters IN and OUT Meters are peak responding and indicate signal level in dBu. Peak-dBu is held and displayed for 2 seconds. A and B meters remain active in linked 10-band mode. EQ Bypass BYPASS switches have two modes of operation. If the rear panel switch is set to BYPASS ALL, all filters and level controls are bypassed. If this switch is set to BYPASS FILTERS, only the filters are bypassed. Filters include Parametric, Tone and Cut. An automatic relay bypass hardwires the Inputs to the Outputs when the POWER is off. BYPASS ALL FILTERS (rear panel switch) A / B control switches A / B switches determine which set of controls is used by channel A and channel B. There is a 100 ms mute to allow the filters to settle when the A/B control switch is changed. The only control not affected by the A / B switches is BYPASS. [. . . ] The line cord attaches to a standard IEC appliance inlet. Output B uses the B set of controls.
