Page 13 Yamaha Commercial Audio 4. 4 FX900 StageMix V2. 0 User Guide HA GAIN The head amp gain for each input channel can be controlled using the faders in StageMix. Press the [HA GAIN] button in the lower left portion of the Mixer window to enter HA GAIN mode. This button will turn red and the background behind the channel faders will become red to indicate that StageMix is in HA Gain control mode. Faders can be moved to change the HA Gain for each channel. The gain value of each head amp will be displayed above the fader while any fader cap is being touched. Up to 8 faders can be adjusted simultaneously. Faders will only appear for channels that have a head amp available. In the screenshot above, channel 8 does not have a head amp available.

Page 16 Yamaha Commercial Audio 4. 6 FX900 StageMix V2. 0 User Guide EQ Editing Every channel in the FX900 has a dedicated Parametric EQ (PEQ). The FX900 also has Graphic EQs (GEQs) that can be assigned (inserted) on input or output channels. Note: assignment of GEQs to channels must be done on the console and cannot be done in StageMix. TIP___________________________________________________________ The most comfortable and accurate way of adjusting Q is to use a vertical pinch movement with the thumb and forefinger. ______________________________________________________________ While an EQ band is being moved, the parameter value will turn yellow to indicate that it has changed. The little yellow arrows show which direction the band should be moved to return to its previous position. In some cases, it may be necessary to adjust the gain without altering the frequency. Or to adjust the frequency without changing the gain. In this case, the "Gain Lock" or "Frequency Lock" functions can be used. These buttons are located at the top of the EQ graph. The "Lock" buttons affect all 4 bands (but not the HPF). When a band is adjusted, the locked parameter value becomes red. 4. 7. 1 HPF When the HPF is selected, an extra [HPF] button appears at the top of the EQ graph. Press this button to switch the HPF on/off. When the button is green, the HPF is On. HPF has no Gain or Q parameter: only frequency.
