The LS9 lets you mount a GEQ in racks 1-8 and patch it to the insert-out/in of a channel. You can use the top panel faders and [ON] keys to operate the amount of boost/cut for each band. The following two types of GEQ are provided.
This is a monaural 31-band GEQ. Each band is 1/3 octave wide, the adjustable boost/cut range is ±15 dB, and the amount of boost/cut for each of the thirty-one bands can be adjusted. If a 31 Band GEQ is mounted in a rack, one channel of input and output can be used for that rack.
This is a monaural 15-band GEQ. Each band is 1/3 octave wide, and the adjustable boost/cut range is ±15 dB. The Flex15GEQ lets you adjust the boost/cut amount for any fifteen of the same bands as the thirty-one bands of the 31 Band GEQ. (Once you've used up fifteen bands of adjustment, you won't be able to adjust the boost/cut amount of another band until you reset a previously-adjusted band to the flat setting.)
A rack for which the Flex15GEQ is selected will have two Flex15GEQ units (shown as "A" and "B" respectively) mounted in that rack, and will allow two channels of input and output. If you mount a Flex15GEQ in each rack, you'll be able to use up to sixteen GEQ units simultaneously.
