EQ section
This is a four-band EQ with parametric midrange controls and high and low frequency shelving bands. The EQ can be
switched between two operating modes, each with slightly different curve characteristics. There is also a filter section
with low pass and high pass filters.
The EQ can be placed before or after Dynamics in the signal path - see “Signal Path section”.
The parameters are as follows:

Description
Spectrum EQ Window button Click this button to bring up the Spectrum EQ Window where you can edit the EQ and Filter parameters graphi-
cally, see “The Spectrum EQ Window”.
LPF “ON” button Activates/deactivates the low pass filter. A low pass filter lets low frequencies pass and cuts out the high frequen-
cies.
HPF “ON” button Activates/deactivates the high pass filter. A highpass filter is the opposite of a lowpass filter, cutting out lower fre-
quencies and letting high frequencies pass.
LPF Frequency The Low Pass filter (LPF) removes high frequencies from the signal, making the sound less bright. The LP filter
has 12dB/Octave roll-off curve. Range is 100 Hz - 20 kHz.
HPF Frequency The High Pass filter (HPF) removes low frequencies from the signal, causing a thinner sound. The HP filter slope
has a 18 dB/Octave roll-off. Range is 20 Hz - 4 kHz.

See “About the Filters To Dynamics Sidechain button”.
EQ “ON” button Activates/deactivates the EQ. (This does not affect the LPF/HPF filters.)
“E” button When the “E” button is activated the EQ will have slightly different curve characteristics.
In normal mode (E button deactivated), the Gain setting will also affect the bandwidth (Q) for the HMF and LMF
EQ sections. The higher the gain, the narrower the bandwidth and vice versa. With E mode activated, bandwidth is
constant at all gain settings. (Check out the difference in “The Spectrum EQ Window” if you like.)
