Parameter selection: With the buttons on the right you can select the
parameter that can be adjusted with four faders of each band. Furthermore,
there are number keys to enter every parameter of the bands.
Gain dB: These controllers allow you to raise or lower the filter. Setting the
controller to 0 deactivates the filter and doesn’t use CPU power.
Freq. Hz: The center frequency of the individual filters can be set between 10
Hz and 24 kHz with the frequency controllers. Freely choosing the frequency
enables multiple filters to be set to the same frequency in order to have a
greater effect.
Q (bandwidth): Set the bandwidth of the individual filters between 10 Hz and
10 kHz.
There is still a peculiarity among bands 1 and 4; The filter curve for these
bands can be changed from a normal "peaking" EQ filter (
) to "shelving"
(
) (this is the basic setting) and high (band 1) or high-cut (band 4) .
When using the "shelving" filter, a soft increase or decrease in all frequencies
happens above or below the filter frequency, and the Q parameter does not
have a function here. With a low-cut or high-cut filter, all frequencies below
(low-cut) or above (high-cut) the set frequency are filtered out.
Graphic Equalizer
The 10-track equalizer divides the frequency spectrum into 10 areas (tracks)
and supplies them with separated volume controls, which allows you to
achieve many impressive effects, from the simple rising of the bass, to total
sound transformation. If you raise the low frequencies too much throughout the
whole level, it can cause distortions. In this case, lower the master volume
using the master volume control on the main screen.
Thumb Controls: All of the 10 frequency areas can be raised or decreased
separately by the 10 volume controls.
Link Bands: Using this switch you can match the frequency areas in a flexible
way to avoid the overemphasizing of single frequency areas that sound
artificial.
A/B: If you have selected a preset for the effect and later you change it
