ULTRACURVE PRO DEQ2496
3. MENU STRUCTURE AND EDITING
wheel pressed for about 1 s, all characters will be erased. The
PAGE key determines whether selected characters will be
overwritten (OVR) or new ones be inserted (INS). Confirm (OK)
or CANCEL with the A or B key respectively.
To recall an existing preset, just select it as usual with the
large data wheel, and confirm by pressing the wheel or the B
key (RECALL PRESET). You will then be prompted to confirm
the command, because this will erase the settings of the currently
selected presetas long as it has not been saved before
(RECALL ALL DATA?). Confirm (OK) or CANCEL with the A or B
key respectively. You can also continue the process by pressing
the large data wheel. Subsequently, the preset of your choice
will be loaded.
+ The MEMORY LED lights up as soon as the settings
of the preset selected in the MEMORY menu have
been edited and thus differ from the current
settings.
+ Presets set to stereo LINK mode are marked by a
stereo symbol ( ) in the preset chart.
Press the lower data wheel for a while to lock or unlock the
selected preset (PROTEC ON/OFF), which prevents accidental
overwriting. Locked presets are marked with a lock symbol.
Fig. 3.32: MEMORY menu (page 2)
To load individual modules from an existing preset, please
press the PAGE key to go to the second page of the MEMORY
menu. Similar to page 1, you can select a preset from which you
want to load a module. Turn the lower data wheel to select the
module of your choice (GEQ, PEQ, DEQ, WIDTH, DYN and I/O).
Then, press the large data wheel or the B key to load the module
(RECALL MODULE). Here, too, you will be prompted to confirm
your selection.
Additionally, STORE MODULE (A key) allows you to store
individual modules in an existing preset.
Exception:
DUAL MONO modules cannot be stored in a STEREO preset.
3.10 METER menu
The METER key below the two 7-digit LED displays selects
the METER menu comprising three pages and giving you an
overview of all input/output levels of the DEQ2496.
Fig. 3.33: METER menu (page 1)
Page 1 of the METER menu shows the levels of the left and
right stereo side. Use the A key (SOURCE) to determine whether
the input signal, the output signal or the signal applied to the
digital or AUX output shall be displayed. The two bars in the
middle of the display show the average level of the signals in the
form of a VU meter. This means that the displays respond with
some delay to changes in signal level. Thus, very short peaks
will not be displayed (RMS).
The outer two displays are peak meters indicating the signal
level including all peaks. As a consequence, the levels shown
here are always a bit higher than those displayed by the VU
meter. The signal peaks of all level meters (including peak hold)
are shown to the right of these displays (PEAK). Press the B key
(CLEAR PEAK) to reset the peak values and recalculate them.
+ If the input/output signal overloads, the
corresponding LEVEL meter will read CLIP
(PEAK). In this case, reduce the input/output level.
Fig. 3.34: METER menu (page 2)
The SPL meter (Sound Pressure Level) can be found on page
2 of this menu. In combination with a measuring microphone (e.g.
BEHRINGER ECM8000), this meter allows you to measure volume
levels. SPL also features a peak hold display, and with the B key
you can reset and recalculate the peak value (CLEAR PEAK).
+ The correct setting of the microphone sensitivity
must be ensured (see chapter 3.11). We
recommend our measurement microphone
BEHRINGER ECM8000, which features an input
sensitivity of -37 dBV/Pa.
The A key (WEIGHT) adjusts various dB weighting routines
for the calculation of the signal level (dB (A), dB (C) or OFF).
Fig. 3.35: METER menu (page 3)
Page 3 of the METER menu provides a virtual VU meter, as
known from analog processors or mixing consoles.
3.11 RTA/MIC input
Use this input to feed a microphone or line signal (separate
from the main input) into RTA or SPL meter. Information on how
this is done is found on page 1 of the UTILITY menu.
3.11.1 Connecting a measurement microphone
Select MIC LEVEL as input sensitivity on RTA/MIC. If you are
using a condenser mic, you need to activate phantom power
(MIC LEVEL +15 V). On RTA/MIC MIC LEVEL, adjust the sensitivity
of the mic you are connecting. If you are using the BEHRINGER
ECM8000, this value is -37 dBV/Pa.
3.11.2 Connecting a line signal
Select LINE LEVEL as input sensitivity on RTA/MIC INPUT. Adjust
the desired input sensitivity under RTA/MIC LINE LEVEL. The
preset value is 0 dBFS or 120 dB SPL.
