5. X-EQ
INTRODUCTION
X-EQ is a 10-band highly configurable EQ plug-in. The six central bands have bell curves, the second and ninth
bands are shelf bands, while the first and last bands are filters. The illustration below introduces some of the
X-EQ plug-in features which are described in full over the following pages. Click on the blue boxes to be taken
to fuller descriptions of their contents. If you are unclear on how to use an EQ, then it may be worth starting
with the SSL on-line tutorials (See Page 5 for details).
INTERFACE OVERVIEW
EQ Graph Display
The EQ graph provides visual feedback for a number of things:
The white line across the graph shows the frequency response of the current EQ settings.
The nodes represent the settings of each individual band, and can be dragged to change the settings:
- For the eight central EQ bands, move the nodes left and right to control Frequency, or up and down to control Gain.
- For the filter bands (Bands 1 and 10), move the nodes left and right to control Frequency, or up and down to control Slope.
Each band is colour coded, with the graph node colour matching the coloured dots in their band box below the graph. Each
coloured shade area represents the impact of the node with that colour.
The real-time frequency content of the processed signal can be displayed by clicking on the Analyse button below the display.
