4 Parametric eq What is a parametric EQ? Parametric EQ’s are widely used by audio engineers and can be used to shape the sound to a higher degree then a standard shelving EQ. It is a form of audio equalization that allows continuous control over three parameters: level, frequency and bandwidth. Level (also known as amplitude) is simply the amount of boost or cut. It determines the magnitude of the adjustment. Frequency determines where in the tonal spectrum an adjustment occurs.
6 Output level The Master output level (labelled 0 to 10) is a rotary control that simply controls the Master audio output level of the module. 6.1 Bypass switch A bypass switch is provided to allow comparison of the EQ’d signal and the original unprocessed signal. When the bypass LED is on, you will hear the unprocessed signal, and when the bypass LED is off, you will hear the master signal with your parametric equalization edits. 6.
