EQUALIZER SECTION
16. 5-Band Stereo Graphic Equalizer (EQ). EQ
compensates for differences in source material sound
quality. In ultra-compact mobile systems this EQ can be
used to tailor the sound to the acoustical requirements of
the room. Center frequencies are 63Hz, 250Hz, 1kHz,
4kHz and 16kHz. Faders have a center detent for an
accurate "flat” response.
Below is a typical "house" EQ curve. Notice how the knobs
above "0" balance out the knobs below. Start with this
setting if you've never used a graphic EQ before:
0
Below is an example of a poor EQ curve because it cuts the
output volume down by 6-10dB. You have to compensate
by running the Master output higher:
0
Below is the worst sort of curve to use because you are
using EQ to add volume. With exaggerated boost you can
easily run your power amplifiers into “clipping” and damage
your speakers.

GENERAL EQ HINTS
• Boost the 63Hz band for deep bass tones and solid kick
drum sound. Use sparingly because this dramatically
increases demand on power amplifiers and could drive
them into “clipping” .
• Cut slightly at 250Hz and more at 1kHz for extra clarity.
Note: Cutting is preferable to boosting.
• Boost 16kHz for a little "sizzle".
• As a general rule, less equalization is better!
17. Equalizer On/Off. This controls whether your final
output will be routed through the EQ or not.
MONITOR SECTION
18. The Monitor section includes the Program Mix
control, the Headphone Volume control and the
Headphone Jack. Connect headphones with a
standard 1/4" stereo plug. The Cue audio is sent to the
headphone amp using the Cue Assign Pushbutton
and the Pgm Mix control. The Program Mix controls
the amount of program audio in the headphones so that
beats can be matched exactly and segues are smooth
when a song is cued.
19. 12V BNC Connector allows a 12 volt gooseneck
lamp to be connected directly to the mixer. This light is
readily available from your Numark dealer.
20. Power Switch and Power-On LED.
