(EN) Controls
The INPUT/OUTPUT LEVEL METER lets you keep an
(1)
eye on the signal level in order to avoid distortion.
Depending on the position of the I/O METER IN/OUT
switch (2) , the display shows either the input or the
output signal (switch depressed) level. When the
signal level reaches roughly +18 dB, that is, 3 dB below
clipping starts to occur, the red CLIP LED lights up.
The level meter on the FBQ1502 displays only the
output signal level.
The I/O METER IN/OUT switch lets you alternate
(2)
between displaying the input and the output signal
level. When the switch is depressed, the output signal
level is shown. The FBQ1502 does not feature this switch.
When you press the FBQ switch, the FBQ feedback
(3)
detection system is activated. The frequency
(or frequen cies) that evoke feedback is/are indicated by
means of a lighted fader LED. All other LEDs are toned
down. Now, simply lower the respective frequency range
somewhat until you eliminate the feedback and the LED
no longer lights up.
The AUDIO IN/OUT switch is used to enable or disable
(4)
the entire equalizer section. The FBQ1502 does this
electronically, while the FBQ3102 and the FBQ6200
feature a relay-driven hard bypass function. As long
as the switch is not depressed or while the equalizer is
not powered up, the inputs and the outputs are directly
connected to one another. The AUDIO IN/OUT switch is
used to alternate between A and B, i.e. to compare the
original unprocessed signal with the processed signal.
The INPUT control is used to adjust the input signal
(5)
level. You can boost/attenuate the signal level from
+15 to -15 dB.
The LOW CUT control is used to adjust the lower cut-off
(6)
frequency of your ULTRAGRAPH PRO. The high-pass
filter (18 dB/oct.) covers the range between 10 and
400 Hz, whereby the filter lets the signal pass through
unprocessed, when the control is in the 10 Hz position.
The FBQ1502 features a switchable high-pass filter
(LOW CUT) instead of a low cut control, and its cut-off
frequency is 25 Hz.
The HIGH CUT control is used to adjust the upper cut-off
(7)
frequency of your ULTRAGRAPH PRO. The low-pass
filter (18 dB/oct.) covers the range between 2.5 and
30 kHz, whereby the filter lets the signal pass through
unprocessed when the control is in the 30 kHz position.
The RANGE switch lets you alternate between the
(8)
maximum value of lowering/increasing of individual
frequencies from 12 dB to 6 dB (switch depressed).
These are the 31 SLIDING CONTROLS
(9)
(FBQ1502: 15 sliding controls per channel) for individual
frequency bands. When in "0" position, the particular
frequency range is not processed at all. To boost a
frequency range, pull the sliding control upward;
to attenuate, pull the sliding control downward.
The POWER switch powers up your ULTRAGRAPH PRO.
(10)
The POWER switch should always be in the "Off" position
when you are about to connect your FBQ to the mains.
The connection to the mains is done via a standard
(11)
IEC connector. A matching cable is included.
SERIAL NUMBER.
(12)
INPUT. These are the audio inputs of the FBQ3102.
(13)
All three equalizers in the series feature the same input
and output connectors in the form of balanced ¼" TRS
and XLR connectors.
OUTPUT. These are the audio outputs.
(14)
The ¼" connectors and their respective
XLR connectors are wired in parallel.
SUB OUT. This balanced XLR connector provides the
(15)
output signal for your subwoofer. A summed up mono
signal for the subwoofer is provided here.
Use the X-OVER FREQ control to select the desired
(16)
crossover frequency for the subwoofer.
The ULTRAGRAPH PRO FBQ6200 features a built-in
(17)
limiter for each channel. Use the LIMITER switch
for its activation.
The limiter display informs you about the amount of
(18)
gain reduction perfomed by the limiter.
The limiter confines the signal to an adjustable
(19)
signal level. Use the THRESHOLD control to adjust
the threshold value of the limiter from -6 to +22 dB.
When the control is in the "-6 dB" setting, the gain
reduction is very pronounced; the more you turn the
control toward "+22 dB", the gain reduction is lower.
When the threshold control is in its right-most position,
the limiter is not applied.
Activate the pink noise generator by using the
(20)
PINK NOISE switch. The built-in switch illumination
blinks red when the pink noise generator is activated.
Read off the noise generator's signal level on
(21)
the LED display.
Use the NOISE LEVEL control to adjust the volume
(22)
of the pink noise you generate.
The LED display indicates the signal level present at the
(23)
SUB OUT connector.
The signal level present at the subwoofer output
(24)
connector can be adjusted by using the LEVEL control.
To activate the subwoofer output, please depress the
(25)
SUBWOOFER switch.
