1. Program Utilities Sub menu this sub menu allows you to access several options related to the DS EQ230 operating mode and to manage the presets stored and recallable within the Unit By pressing the ENTER button and then using the NAV PM1 encoder the following pages can be accessed Recall a Program this page allows the Loading of a preset program The DS EQ230 contains 8 Factory presets occupying the first 8 positions of the Preset list which setting is shown in the A Appendix The 8 Factory presets are the following Default Flat Default Classic Default Disco Default Jazz Default Pop Default RnB Default Rock Default Vocal ONOOABRWN You can store up to 24 presets in the DS EQ230 memory starting from the location 09 up to the location 32 Through the Recall a Program page the Factory and the available user s preset can be recalled for the DS EQ230 filters setting OGRAM UTILI ecall a Prograr By pressing ENTER and rotating the PM2 or PM3 encoders it is possible to scroll through all current available factory and user presets If NO USER PRESETS are stored yet the screen will show ONLY the factory presets ecall a Progr 11 Default Flat If presets have previously been stored by the user any one of them can be recalled starting from the location 09 By using the PM2 or PM3 encoder it is possible to scroll through the stored presets Onc2. encoder Gain the selectable Gain range is from 15dB to 15dB in steps of 0 5 dB and can be adjusted by rotating the PM3 encoder Low Shelving Filter As an example if we want to set a low shelving filter within EQ 1 then the PM2 encoder has to be rotated counter clockwise until the desired Low Shelving filter say 6LoSh appears on the screen the GAIN at say 3 0dB using the PM3 encoder and the High Cut Frequency at say 1 00KHz with the NAV PM1 encoder The EQ sub menu screen will show the following Note Once the desired Low Shelving filter is selected the PM3 can then be used to select the desired GAIN and when the GAIN is set at a value different from 0 0dB then the filter type cannot be changed until this GAIN is returned to 0 0dB Once in the Low Shelving Filter s edit screen all the filter s parameters can be modified using the NAV PM1 PM2 and PM3 encoders for editing the Filter s High Cut Frequency Filter s Order and Gain The Hi Cut Frequency of the Low Shelving Filter can be edited using the NAV PM 1 encoder the Filter s Order can be adjusted by the PM2 encoder and the Gain the PM3 encoder Hi Cut Frequency the selectable frequencies range is from 20Hz to 20kHz in steps of 1 24 of an Octave and can be adjusted by rotating the NAV PM1 encoder Low Shelving Order the selectable Low Shelving Filter s range can be selected between the 1st Lo 1s
3. On the other hand if the GND of the USB RS485 cable is already connected to the remote controller GND to connect the same ground also to the GND of the processor could create GND loops or generate GND noises In this case the switch on the position Lift will leave the cable GND not connected to the chassis of the DS EQ230 26 e Equalizer s Channels LIN RIN and Compressor Limiter s Channels LCOMP RCOMP Last Edited Parameter Return Function Once you have escaped out of parameter editing within the individual Equalizer s Channel or Compressor s Channel the DS EQ230 will remember this last editing action on that Channel When you return for your next editing action pressing the EDIT button on that channel will immediately return you to the screen related to this last editing action This function makes fine tuning or modifying easier when itis necessary to make a number of adjustments to the same parameter in a short time sequence Equalizer s Channels and Compressor Limiter s Channels LINK Function The DS EQ230 is able to perform a unique LINK MODE between Equalizer s Channels as well as a link between Compressor s Channels to enable quick and immediate editing you cannot link Equalizer s to Compressor s channels To link channels when editing you will need to select a Master channel that will be the one to be edited and have its parameters displayed on the LCD screen You can then select and link the other channel Slave tha
4. EQ230 allows the user to select either Bell or Shelving Parameters and assign them independently using the 30 available filters In order to select the filter s type itis necessary to have the filter s GAIN 0 0dB then using the PM2 encoder rotate it clockwise in order to decide the Bell filter s Bandwidth or counter clockwise to select the Shelving filter type Low or High and its order 1st or 2nd So in order to define the filter type for the filter number 1 x 21 itis necessary from the above Screen to enter the filter s editing page pressing the ENTER button and the screen has to appear as follows In this case the filter s GAIN 0 0dB and being BW 1 05 the current filter selected is a Bell type Now rotating the PM2 encoder clockwise the parameter BW will range from 0 05 up to 3 for identifying a bandwidth value for a Bell filter If a Bell filter is selected then the Gain can be modified from 0 0dB and the BW will range between 0 05 and 3 If the user wants to select a Shelving filter from the above setting with the GAIN 0 0dB if the GAIN is not 0 0dB it is necessary to set it at 0 0dB using the PM3 encoder rotate the PM2 Counter clockwise Once BW reaches the 0 05 value at the next step of the PM2 counter clockwise rotation the selection of the Shelving filters will be entered Still rotating the PM2 counter clockwise the Shelving filters and their order will be selectable in
