5 – Channel modules : EQ66 TASCAM DM-3200 User’s ManualEQThe four-band EQ provided on the first 32 channelmodules of the DM-3200 allows precise sound shap-ing, combined with flexibility, and repeatability,thanks to the library store and recall facilities.To view the EQ settings for a module, press theMODULE key until the EQ page is shown.TIPThe instructions here refer to POD use, but you can putthe encoders into EQ mode, and use the encoders toadjust individual EQ parameters for the selected chan-nel (see “Encoders” on page 20 for full details). It is alsopossible to link the screen display to the encoders, orthe other way round, so that changing one automati-cally changes the other. See “PREFERENCES” onpage 34.Use the cursor keys to move the “box” around thescreen, and the four POD encoders to change the val-ues of the gain (where appropriate), frequency, Q(where appropriate) and the type of filter for theselected band.Turn the EQ on and off using the unshifted EQ/DYNkey (see “Turning the processors on and off” onpage 62), or by using the on-screen EQ button (circledin Figure 5.10, Module EQ screen)Turn the individual band highlighted by the box onand off using the ENTER key.As you make changes to the EQ setting, the graph atthe top of the screen changes as does the one by atthe top of the “global section”.All bands have the same frequency range: from 31 Hzto 19 kHz (in 112 steps).The amount of gain is ±18 dB for all bands.Q (where appropriate) can be set to any of the follow-ing 24 values: 8.65, 4.32, 2.87, 2.14, 1.71, 1.41, 1.20,1.04, 0.92, 0.82, 0.74, 0.67, 0.61, 0.56, 0.51, 0.47,0.44, 0.40, 0.38, 0.35, 0.33, 0.30, 0.28, or 0.27.The types of EQ filter available are:Low band: Low Shelf, Peak, HPF (high-pass filter)Low-mid band: Peak or NotchHigh-mid band: Peak or NotchHigh band: High Shelf, Peak, LPF (low-pass filter)Note that the following parameters are used by thedifferent EQ filters:Peak filter: Gain, Frequency, QShelving filters (high and low): Gain and FrequencyHPF and LPF: FrequencyNotch filters: Frequency and QUnused parameters are grayed out on screen or ifencoders are elected to set the EQ, the encoders forthe unused parameters are disabled, and no indicatorsare lit.Encoders and EQ The encoders can be used tomake EQ settings (unmodified ENCODER key 4) asdescribed in “Encoders” on page 20.Figure 5.10: Module EQ screen
