11.1.6 AP = All Pass Filter
The all pass filter is a frequency-dependent phase shifter. In doing this, it does not cause any
increase or attenuation of frequency levels.
The Q-Factor of a 2nd order filter defines the slope of the phase jump.

You can choose between a high pass filter 1st or 2nd order. The Q of a 1st order high pass
filter is always fixed. At a 2nd order high pass filter Q is adjustable in steps of 0.001 from 0.2
to 20.
11.1.7 Notch = Notch Filter
This filter reduces a selected frequency down to complete cut-off. Feedback and interfering
frequencies are reduced.
The Q-factor determines the slope of the filter.
The Q-factor of notch filters is usually between 0.1 and 20.
After changing the type of a filter the value of Q is set to the default value 4.318.
