Parametric EQ options on all outputs
I would like to be able to select this option. It makes it real easy to filter out monitor mix feedback. And set a nice sounding eq

It would be great to have it on the Master Bus, not just the Auxes (though that would be useful too, I agree.) The channel eq is so great....would so much rather have one of those on the master and each aux instead of a 31-band fixed frequency, fixed Q.

YES YES YES YES YES!!! After using this unit for a couple weeks this is still one of my top two wishes....in fact I would be happy to lose the 31-band in favor of another 4-band PEQ if that's what it took.

Hey mini future apparently you don't understand the difference between your suggestion and peq. Get a clue dude!

Just press Draw and yo can draw your PEQ with the 31 bandEQ
I have done it it works fine -

Richard Lawrence - you hit the nail on the head. I couldn't believe it when I discovered that the Aux sends were pre-eq. That is insane and an absolute dealbreaker. I REALLY hope Mackie fixes this like TODAY!! That would be my number 1 request, before channel grouping and the ability to record all individual tracks etc.

To anonymous PEQs are by far the faster way to quicker and better way to ring out feedback. They allow you to quickly zero in on very specific frequencies and raise/reduce them. You then can widen/narrow them as needed. If you thing 31 band geqs are the better way then, to be quite honest, you have no idea what you are talking about.

What would really help achieve better monitor gain before feedback would be for Mackie to fix the fact that all AUX sends on the DL are POST EQ/COMP.
Trying to "fix" your post EQ mix is presently impossible. I can't believe this isn't the most requested feature!! -

31 band graphic will do this quicker and better and far more intuitively with far more flexibility

PEQs would be nice. It would also be handy sometimes to be able to split the stereo EQ into separate right and left EQ. One of the advantages of running a stereo system is that stack placement in a lot of bars and medium sized clubs is limited, so you might end up with one stack near a wall and the other one near the middle of the room, in which case it often helps to be able to cut a bit of the midbass in the stack closest to the wall. Generally not so much a problem with larger venues.

Styles, could you post the YouTube link for the Presonus video you mentioned?

There is a great explanation of why GEQ can be insufficient when tuning a room on page 14 of the January 2013 issue of Live Sound International (www.prosoundweb.com), including an example of how GEQ can actually make things worse when there's a problem frequency between bands. The article is called "Spotlight: Chainsaws and Scalpels - What's really going on with that equalizer?" and I encourage you to take the time to find it and read it. I had 1 vote on this feature and changed it to 3.

If adding PEQ's on outputs means getting rid of the GEQ's, I'm totally AGAINST it!!!!! I've been mixing monitors on systems of all sizes for 17 years. I RARELY feel the need to use a parametric as a notch or a wide filter on any live mix. And I have to do some serious surgery from time to time. I suggest that instead of sweeping an PEQ and limiting yourself to 4 or 5 frequencies, people should train their ears to be able to know what frequency to pull. Do not fear the GEQ. It is your friend. ; )

Mike Jordan, parametric eq's make ringing out feedback so much easier and faster then a 31 band. You can also dial in on a specific frequency. Imagine bringing up the volume to get feedback, and then one by one lowering and raising your 31 band eq vs a simple slide of the parametric eq. Parametrics for the win!
Rick from presonus demos how this is done in a YouTube video. And he didn't even use the ipad app when he made the video. It would have been a lot easier if he did but, I don think the app was out at that time.

A four or six band parametric eq should be possible with the available DSP Power. Why not offering switchable ? Who likes to use the 31bnd should take this one.......for PA tunings it is definately the better way with parametric ones.

To be clear, this request is for a Parametric EQ on the outputs. It is not for Pre EQ Aux Sends. That request is covered here:

Please change your votes if necessary. I have renamed this request for clarity.

Hey Gavan, I'm interested in why you can use Parametric EQ to kill feedback where the graphic doesn't. I like the graphic because it gives me more control for shaping the sound and also allows me to cut a difficult frequency if needed.
I hope the result of this suggestions is a switch to allow either Parametric EQ or Graphic for each Aux and the Mains.

This needs to be addressed soon. Our corporate band has purchased the dl and found the lack of peq on the auxs to (kill feedback) killed us. Also pre comp, gates etc needed badly. Really hoped this would be addressed in 1.3 but not yet. Please mackie guys. We need this for the otherwise brilliant unit to function to its capacity

RTA as backgound in eq section and more par eq's if you have DSP performance to spare.

Looks like some posters are interpreting PEQ as Pre-EQ and some as Parametric EQ. I believe the original poster meant Parametric.
