[QUOTE="Lee Douglas, post: 132144, member: 205"] Re: Dear console manufacturers - Coat Sleeve Surprise I had a healthy serving of "Coat Sleeve Surprise" many years ago working on a Mackie CFX-20 I was stuck using. I had everything set up and had just fired up the system and there was a severe problem with a huge bump the mid band. I looked in the system processors and amp settings and everything else that I could bypass or try to work around. In the interest of getting things moving, I finally just tried to do my best to reverse eq the problem on the main graphic. Then it hit me! The main graphic! The CFX series has a nine band graphic eq built into the board, that I never used and kept flat. Sure as you-know-what, I'd grabbed 1K and 2K with a coat sleeve and pinned them to the top of the slider. I was pissed. I un-did everything I'd done to work around it and the show went of fine. In the days that followed, I taped the sliders to flat and took the board apart trying to find a way to either install a bypass button or permanently bypass the eq, which never happened. Now it's pretty much a back up to the back up boards. [/QUOTE]
