OPERATING MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing the digital equalizer DEQ5. In order to take full advantage of all the DEQS’s advanced features and capabilities we urge you to read this operating manual thoroughly before using the DEQ5. Be sure to store the manual in a safe place afterwards.
Before you read the manual
Whenever DEQ5(E) is used in this manual it refers to DEQ5 or DEQ5E.
Outline and features of the DEQ5
♦ 2-channel stereo
The DEQ5 is a 2-channel digital stereo equalizer. It is equipped with a feature called parameter link which makes it possible to control each parameter for the left and right channels individually or simultaneously.

♦ Two equalizer modes

Two equalizer modes are incorporated: a 30-band ±15 dB variable graphic equalizer mode (GEQ mode) and a 6­band ±15 dB variable parametric equalizer mode (PEQ mode).

♦ High performance A/D and D/A conversion section which contributes to high class sound quality

A 19-bit conversion process is used in the A/D conversion section, while a 20-bit conversion process is used in the D/A conversion section. This makes a dynamic range of llOdB or more possible (analog input when EMPHASIS is on) and contributes to higher sound quality reproduction.

♦ 40-program user memory

Up to 40 programs of created equalizer data can be stored into the user memory no matter which equalizer mode is used. The equalizer data can be recalled from memory by using the memory recall function. Data stored in memory can be transmitted or received with other equipment through a built-in MIDI I/O terminal, or the RS-485 interface connection, in the following manner:
• In combination with another DEQ5(E) For communication purposes the DEQ5 features both the MIDI and the RS-485 interface. The DEQ5E on the other hand features only the RS-485 interface.
• Computer with start up software for DEQ5(E) control Communication is possible through the RS-485 interface terminal.
• MIDI sequencer with bulk recording function, or equivalent computer communication is possible through a MIDI connection.

♦ Independent digital delay built in for each channel

Besides the equalizer function, a digital delay (with available time settings: from 0, 0.021 to 656 ms in 0.021 ms
steps when fs = 48 kHz), which can be used among others for phase compensation, is built in for each channel
independently.

♦ Easy to operate 3 rotary encoder systems

3 rotary encoder systems, which can be used for EQ parameter adjustment, and provide a data entry function during menu settings, are installed. This creates a far superior operating environment.

♦ Built in hum filter

A hum filter has been incorporated into the unit to filter out hum and its harmonics generated by the power supply transformer. Thus eliminating any adverse hum effects.

♦ AES/EBU and Y2 format digital I/O terminals are installed

Besides the XLR type analog I/O terminals which are commonly used in professional applications, digital I/O terminals for AES/EBU format and Y2 format are installed. The installation of this kind of digital I/O terminals makes it easier to combine the unit with systems that transmit audio signals in the digital range.

♦ RS-485 control bus

The RS-485 control bus is a communication standard of a bus type which is used for both transmission and reception. Employing this communication standard can increase the system by connecting a maximum of 23 separately purchased DEQSEs, in serial with one DEQ5 used as a control master for the controll of all the DEQ5Es. This makes it possible to communicate over maximum distances of a few hundred meters. As the RS-485 terminal employs a XLR type connector system, control data can be transmitted or received with the cable for XLR type connector systems, without having to separately use a special connector cable (*). Please see the page explaining “RS-485” for the details regarding the communication standard.
* For RS-485 data transmission (especially for long distance transmission), it is recommended that a cable with
impedance characteristics between 90 and 120Q is used to prevent signal deterioration during transmissions.

♦ Built in 240 X 64 dot graphic LCD

The built in 240 x 64 dot, large sized graphic LCD makes it easy to check the frequency characteristic chart visually during graphic EQ and parametric EQ processing, and also improves various other setting operations.

♦ Time code event function

A time code event function, which can automate the recall operation of a program number stored on the received time code in advance, is installed. This makes complicated connections unnecessary as well as changing the settings of all the peripheral equipment, which before were necessary for automation during auto-mix operation based on the time code. This increases auto-mix operation efficiency.

♦ MIDI I/O terminal

Using a MIDI I/O terminal enables control among others of memory recall and parameter change of the main unit from external controllers, such as a MIDI sequencer or computer. A Bulk dump function is also installed, which enables transmission and reception of various data with a MIDI sequencers or computers capable of recording bulk data, or another DEQ5.

♦ Memory protect and key protect functions

The switch to select the memory protect, which prevents loss of data stored inside the main unit memory, and the key protect, which does not accept the key switch operation (*) on the front panel, are installed on the rear panel. This prevents problems such as losing data accidentally, or changing parameter setting conditions (*) by touching the key switch accidentally.
* The power supply switch, the control for adjusting analog I/O levels and the “THRU” switch are excluded.

Q] BEFORE USE

1. Before use

(1) Precautions
• Operating temperature - Use the unit in an environment with an ambient temperature of 10 to 35°C.
• Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
When using it outdoors, place the unit in the shade.
Avoid placing the unit near heaters, stoves, or other heat sources.
• Avoid environments which are subject to excessive dust.
• Avoid environments which are subject to excessive vibration.
• Do not forcibly bend or pull the power supply cord or cables.
• Avoid physical shocks to the operation keys and terminals.
• Since the DEQ5 contains digital circuitry, it may cause interference or noise if placed too close to TV sets or radios. Place them a proper distance away from the DEQ5 when using them together.
• If there is a possibility of lightning, turn the power supply off and remove the plug from the outlet to prevent noise effect from indoor wiring.
(2) Precautions regarding rack mounting
• Avoid mounting the unit on top of equipment which generates substantial amounts of heat, such as a power amplifier. If you must combine it in the same rack, keep it at a distance of at least lU away from other equipment. The Yamaha ventilation panel VPl (sold separately) with ventilation holes is recommended as a blank panel.

(3) Power supply
• Be sure to use a power source intended for use in normal domestic applications to operate the unit. Do not use any other power source.
• If you do not use the unit for prolonged periods of time, please remove the power supply plug from the outlet.
(4) Connecting cables
• When connecting sound cables, turn down the master volume in the mixer section or the volume of the power amplifier. Noise generated during connection might cause damage to the speakers.
(5) Pin assignment of the analog I/O XLR terminal
• Pin assignment of the analog I/O terminal of the unit is as follows:
No. 1: Ground No. 2: Hot No. 3: Cold
(6) Memory back-up
Even when the power supply is turned off, settings of all the parameters are not lost until the next time you turn it on. This is made possible by a back-up battery installed in the unit. When the battery voltage drops, the following message is displayed (for approximately 2 seconds) when the power supply is turned on.
IPGMil
If you do not replace the battery at this time, all the parameter settings and the data stored in memory might be lost. When the message is displayed, contact the person in the shop from which you purchased the product or the nearest Yamaha service center and replace the battery immediately.
6~band PEQ
ICH LOW BAT.
(7) Maintenance
• Do not use benzine or thinner to clean the exterior of the unit.
• It is recommendable to clean the terminal section at regular intervals with a commercially available contact point cleaner. Dirt on the terminal section may cause contact failures.

2. Handling the digital audio input signal

(1) Input setting
The unit is provided with 2 systems (AES/EBU and Y2) of digital system input terminals except for XLR type analog I/O terminal. When handling signals from these input terminals, the input system should be designated with the “UTILITY” menu. This is done in “SYSTEM SET UP” in the “UTILITY” menu. Please refer to “2. SYSTEM SET UP” (page 23) under “0 UTILITY” for ifurther details.
(2) Handling the clock signal
When carrying out EQ processing by inputting the digital audio signal to the unit, the clock should be set with the “UTILITY” menu. If all signal transmission and reception is carried out digitally by taking the unit as a part of the digital audio system, it is better to operate the unit with a clock signal provided by a unit which is the main controller of your digital audio system. For example, when a digital mixer is set in the center of the digital system and the clock signal generated from the mixer is set to the synchronization master, the word clock signal distributed from the digital mixer should be input to “WORD CLK IN” terminal on the rear panel of the unit and the clock signal should be used to operate the unit.
[Example] When the digital mixer is the center of the system
Audio signals
n
/; •Distributor
☆ Even when the unit does not receive the word clock signal, it is possible to operate with a clock signal extracted
from the digital audio signal. For operation with a signal received from another input system, it can be set in the item “CLOCK” in the “UTILITY” “SYSTEM SET UP” menu. If the word clock signal is not synchronized properly, all the “Fs” displays go out. Check to see if the connec
tions are made properly again.
Word clock
All the digital audio equipment operates based on a certain word clock signal. This signal determines the operation sampling frequency and also the timing when the digital audio signal is transmitted and received. For the transmission and reception of the digital audio signal between equipment, this signal should be synchronized. Otherwise, proper signal transmission and reception is not possible. Therefore, you must make sure that the word clock signal is synchronized when transmitting or receiving digital audio signals between different equipment.

^ BASIC OPERATION/DETAILS OF EQUALIZING MENU

1. Memory configuration

(1) Memory area
DEQ5 has an area where the equalizer setting data (program) is stored (memory) so that it can be used when recalled anytime. This area is called the “memory area”.
(2) Equalizer modes and memory area
DEQ5 has the following two equalizer modes. In the memory area, a maximum of 40 programs can be stored in memory no matter which mode they are created in. When shipping from the factory, initial data program (initial data with flat characteristics) in the two modes are stored in the memory area, 20 in the first part and another 20 in the second part. (The first and second 20s have the same contents.)
Two equalizer modes
• 30-band graphic equalizer mode ... Memory number: 1~20 when shipping from the factory
• 6-band parametric equalizer mode ... Memory number: 21~40 when shipping from the factory
(3) Edit area
The area where DEQ5 program is actually executed or data is modified after recalling the data from the memory
area is called “Edit area”.
The program, using a suitable equalizer mode, is recalled from the memory area to the edit area. It is used as it is
or the data is modified before use. The new program after modifying the data in the edit area is stored in any memory number in the memory area. Memory can be re-stored as many times as you like.
(4) Initial data area
If the program is made with its all memories using only one equalizer mode, initial data in each mode is stored in
a initial data area separately from the memory area so you can use another equalizer mode.
The initial data can be recalled to the edit area with “PARAMETER COPY” menu (see page 31) in UTILITY.

(5) Parameter link
To conduct the equalizing operation with the unit, basically either channel should be selected with “L” or “R” key on the front panel. However, the DEQ5 is provided with a parameter link function so that both channels can be controlled simultaneously, for stereo source, etc.
[Example 1] When setting EQ data on both channels to the value which is to be modified on the L channel
® While holding down “L” key, press “R” key.

After modifying the settings of Equalizing, Delay, Hum filter. Attenuator, Filtering, etc., the modified values on the both channel are set to the same value. @ To operate each channel separately by cancelling the parameter link status, press either “L” or “R” key.
The key of the pressed channel lights up (the LED of other key is not on.) the the parameter of the channel is displayed.
(6) Making the EQ characteristics flat
All the “G” values of the channels displayed currently can be returned to zero by using the “FLAT” key on the front panel. Also, both channels can be made flat simultaneously using the parameter link feature (see above). Use the following procedures to make “G” flat. (T) Press the “FLAT” key once and the following is displayed on the upper right part of the display.
(The set value of “G” is not flat yet at this point.)

(2) Check the contents of the program being set and press the “FLAT” key to confirm and execute the operation.
A message “FLAT OK” appears on the display and the EQ characteristics become flat.

(7) Storing program
DEQ5 is provided with an internal memory capable of storing 40 programs in which equalizer setting data (program) created by the user can be stored.
The method of writing (storing) the created program into the memory area is explained below. Store the program as follows when it is created.
[Example] Storing in memory number “11”
© Select a memory number (No. 11 in this case) in which the memory is to be stored by using the MEMORY “1T,
U” keys.

|OH qrORF OK 9
Check the memory number and press the “STORE/ENTER” key again to execute and confirm the operation. If you want to cancel after the display “STORE OK?”, press the “PARAMETER” key.
If the memory cannot be stored
“PROTECT” is displayed on the upper right part of the display and storing is not possible if the “PROTECT” switch on the rear panel is set to “MEMORY”. Set the switch to “OFF” and store it again.
© The memorized program can be recalled to be used when necessary late on. [“(1) Recalling program” (see
page 11)]
Cautions regarding recalling
It takes at least approximately one second for the unit to execute the recall operation to change the program with the “RECALL” key. (The previous program is working in the meantime.) The same time is used when MIDI program change and memory recall information is received from another DEQ5 through RS-485 terminal.
