Functions and Operation Constant Q and proportional Q modes Each frequency band consists essentially of two fully parametric equalizers: one for constant Q mode and one for proportional (or variable) Q mode, selectable per band. The PQ is the fi rst equalizer to offer both modes, endowing it with double equaliza- tion power for demanding corrective and creative applications. In constant Q mode, the selected bandwidth remains unaffected by the amplitude setting, making it the best choice for co

Functions and Operation Amplitude Amplitude settings are freely adjustable from -/+ 15 dB in proporional mode and from -/+ 20 dB in constant Q mode. Frequency Each channel provides fi ve fully parametric frequency bands covering 10 Hz to 28 kHz. Each band overlaps its neighbor by one octave and can be independently acti- vated and deactivated. The following frequency bands are provided: LF (Low Frequencies): 10 Hz - 235 Hz LMF (Low Mid Frequencies): 35 Hz - 720 Hz MF (Mid Frequencies): 330 H

Rear Panel/Connections Audio inputs and outputs are provided as balanced XLR connectors. Connect the included external power supply to the multi-pin socket in the upper left corner, ensuring that the connection is secure. Please note: To ensure secure connections, stable operation and optimal audio quality, always use professional-grade cables and connectors. External Power Supply The PQ comes with an external linear power supply featuring a toroidal transformer for optimal audio quality and
