DQS Menu Screens
One of the major benefits of using Digital tech-
nology is the ability to use less knobs and buttons
and get more control. The DQS has six, 30-band
mono equalizers plus six 2-band parametric
equalizers, that would normally require almost
200 individual controls and occupy an area as
large as your trunk. AudioControl’s digital tech-
nology allows the DQS to offer a plethora of
features in one compact chassis. In addition there
are only a few knobs so navigating through the
DQS’s functions is quite simple.
When you first apply power to your DQS, it will
go through a few “wake-up” screens, including
some subliminal advertising for AudioControl. It
will then display a friendly blue screen (not the
scary blue screen found on many computers). Fear
not, because the blue screen on the DQS is actu-
ally a good thing.
Menu Tree: Once your DQS has settled on one
of these menu screens, you will want to spend a
few minutes familiarizing yourself with the
various modes. Although the DQS has one main
screen , there are eleven sub menu screens that
allow you to access and program all of the various
functions of your DQS. Figure 5 shows you how
the Menu Tree of your DQS flows.
