Technical information

APPENDIX 12
The FilterBank P606 has six bands of parametric EQ, each with a Gain control
to adjust the amount of boost or cut applied to the signal at a frequency set
by the Freq control. All the parametric  lters are completely overlapping – i.e.
the frequency range of each extends to the top and bottom of the frequency
Applications
FilterBank’s E606 is best suited for dealing with vocal and dialog tracks. For
plosive removal (reduction of the low frequency parts of speech from sounds
like ‘thhh’ and ‘sssp’), use the high-pass  lter, at its steepest setting (12 dB/
octave), around 80 to 120 Hz.
Similar plosive reduction can be accomplished using the low shelf. Note
that increasing the Dip control, with a negative amount of gain, will actually
produce a slight gain boost in the frequency range just above the shelf. This
smaller gain boost could mask what has been removed by the shelf, making
the vocal or dialog sound ‘less  ltered’.
The parametric and high-shelf EQ bands in the E606 can then be used to adjust
the tone of the vocal – allow the vocal stand to out against the rest of the band
(or the explosions, gun  re, screaming, or whatever).
