There is still a peculiarity among bands 1 and 4: Their filter curve can
be changed from a normal “peaking” EQ filter to “shelving” (this is the
basic setting) and high (band 1) or high-pass (band 4). When using
the “shelving” filter, a soft increase or decrease in all frequencies
happens above or below the filter frequency, the Q parameter does
not have a function here. With a low-pass or high-pass filter, all
frequencies below (low-pass) or above (high-pass) the set frequency
are filtered out.
Stereo FX
With the Stereo FX Enhancer you can determine the positioning of
the audio material in the stereo balance. If the stereo recordings
sound unfocused and undifferentiated, an extension of the stereo
base-width can often provide better transparency.
Use the maximize function to move the echo, for example, into the
foreground, thereby improving the stereo picture.
Volume control: Adjusts the volume of every single channel, thereby
adjusting the entire balance. The reduction of left and right levels is
displayed under the control buttons. This way you can balance out
and thus improve an imbalanced recording in which, for example,
one channel was recorded at a lower level than the other.
Pan-Direction: With this controller you can move the sound source
that comes from the middle into stereo panorama. The signals at the
outer edges of the sound picture remain unchanged.
Bandwidth control: Adjusts the bandwidth between mono (on the
extreme left), unchanged bandwidth ("normal stereo"), and maximum
bandwidth ("wide", on the extreme right). The individual sound
sources of a recording are squeezed together or pulled apart in the
stereo picture.
Raising the bandwidth (values over 100) diminishes the mono
compatibility. This means that recordings edited this way sound
hollow when listened to in mono.
