Bell is hat shaped object at top, one either side.

P522 of manual shows it.

Thanks for your reply.
I checked my Pa4X user's manual page 522, it explains "Programming the traditional Compressor", it does not explain the meaning of "IN=BELL OUT=BELL".
Maybe you have different user's manual version.

OK, try searching "MAXX Master EQ"

I checked that page, I see and know these setups but didn't find anything about my question regarding the "IN=BELL OUT=BELL".
I've already done several times MAXX Programming the Master Effects/EQ but don't about the "IN=BELL OUT=BELL".

Thanks anyway

I would include screen shot, but don’t know how to

Thanks guys for the input.
Actually I checked my Pa4X MAXX Audio and I noticed I don't have this option since I am still at very stable OS Version 2.0.1.

I found some basic definitions online that might be useful to those of us not so familiar with EQ.

Audio Equalization: Equalization, or EQ for short, means boosting or reducing (attenuating) the levels of different frequencies in a signal.
The most basic type of equalization familiar to most people is the treble/bass control on home audio equipment. The treble control adjusts high frequencies, the bass control adjusts low frequencies. This is adequate for very rudimentary adjustments — it only provides two controls for the entire frequency spectrum, so each control adjusts a fairly wide range of frequencies.

Advanced equalization systems provide a fine level of frequency control. The key is to be able to adjust a narrower range of frequencies without affecting neighboring frequencies.

Equalization is most commonly used to correct signals which sound unnatural. For example, if a sound was recorded in a room which accentuates high frequencies, an equalizer can reduce those frequencies to a more normal level. Equalization can also be used for applications such as making sounds more intelligible and reducing feedback.
There are several common types of equalization, described below.

Shelving EQ (MAXXEQ has both Hi and Lo shelving options)
In shelving equalization, all frequencies above or below a certain point are boosted or attenuated the same amount. This creates a "shelf" in the frequency spectrum.

Bell EQ (MAXXEQ has Bell EQ option also)
Bell equalization boosts or attenuates a range of frequencies centered around a certain point. The specified point is affected the most, frequencies further from the point are affected less.

Graphic EQ
Graphic equalizers provide a very intuitive way to work — separate slider controls for different frequencies are laid out in a way which represents the frequency spectrum. Each slider adjusts one frequency band so the more sliders you have, the more control.

Parametric EQ (Several PA effects provide multiband parametric EQ)
Parametric equalizers use bell equalization, usually with knobs for different frequencies, but have the significant advantage of being able to select which frequency is being adjusted. Parametrics are found on sound mixing consoles and some amplifier units (guitar amps, small PA amps, etc).

PS - When sounds are played, we don't all hear the same thing. Most people seem to prefer (need?) both the bass and treble boosted a bit Not sure why, just the way it is. Our environment affects what we hear also. A room can have a resonant frequency that causes certain frequencies to seem way too loud (typically bass) EQ allows us to adjust for all of these situations.

MAXXEQ does all of this and more with some special processing in addition to the EQ adjustments. Good description in the PA manual.

Hi,
Great post Ron.
I have printed it out for future reference.
Thank you.

Korg 1 settings have transformed my Pa4x. I found out today just how great it can sound. I have other settings like Johnyblues as you will see from my old posts. But these settings from Korg 1 are on a different planet. Clear, crisp, louder, struggling to find words to say how chuffed I am at the moment.

PS I will try “some” of these settings on my Pa1000 and report back.

Take care all
