EQUALISER SECTION
T
o use the EQ, switch it into circuit by pressing the EQ IN switch.
The EQ section has four bands, each with it’s own knob colour. All bands have gain and frequency control. The low (LF) and
high (HF) bands are shelved by default (as shown below) but can be switched to a bell shape (parametric) by pressing the
BELL button. The low-mid (LMF) and high-mid (HMF) bands also have Q control:
Press the E to switch the EQ emulation from G Series to E Series consoles.
The diagrams to the right display the difference between them:
G Series: The bell curve has a more rounded shape at low gains, and the shelf
curve overshoots zero slightly at the base of the curve.
G Series EQ is more subtle and is generally more suited to instruments
and vocals.
E Series: The bell curve is slightly more pointed, and there is no overshoot on the
shelf curve.
E Series EQ is more aggressive and is therefore better for removing
problem frequencies. It is generally more suited to drums.
Note. At full boost or cut both curves are identical.
To switch the EQ into the Dynamics sidechain, press DYN SC (see Page 27 for more
info).
