EQ and DynamicsEach input channel and output channel on a CL series console provides a four-band EQ and 
dynamics.
EQ can be used on all input channels and all output channels. An attenuator is provided 
immediately before the EQ, allowing you to attenuate the level of the input signal so that the 
GAIN setting for EQ will not cause the signal to clip. Input channels also provide a high-pass 
filter that is independent of the EQ.
Input channels provide two dynamics processors: Dynamics 1 can be used as a gate, ducking 
device, compressor, or expander, while Dynamics 2 can be used as a compressor, hard 
compander, soft compander, or de-esser. Output channels provide one dynamics processor, 
which can be used as a compressor, expander, hard compander, or soft compander.Using EQThis section explains the four-band EQ that is provided on input channels and output 
channels.NOTE
• The EQ field in the OVERVIEW screen shows the response of the EQ. In this OVERVIEW screen, 
you can edit the parameter settings by using the EQ knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.
• EQ settings can be saved and recalled at any time using the dedicated library. You can also take 
advantage of a wide variety of presets suitable for various instruments or situations.
• You can also access the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen, and use the knobs in the 
SELECTED CHANNEL section to edit the EQ and high-pass filter (page 9).
• Even when the HPF/EQ window is displayed, you can use the knobs in the SELECTED 
CHANNEL section to control the EQ.
