Modifier key Description
– When no modifier key is pressed and you drag an EQ point in the
display, the Gain and Frequency parameters are adjusted
simultaneously.
[Shift] Keep the [Shift] key pressed and drag the mouse to change the
Q-factor of the corresponding EQ band.
[Alt]/[Option] Keep the [Alt]/[Option] key pressed and drag the mouse to
change the frequency of the corresponding EQ band.
[Ctrl]/[Command] Keep the [Ctrl]/[Command] key pressed and drag the mouse to
change the gain value of the corresponding EQ band.
Parameter Description
Band 1 Gain
(-20 to +24 dB)
Sets the amount of attenuation/boost for the low band.
Band 1 Inv button Inverts the gain value of the filter. Use this button to filter out
unwanted noise. When looking for the frequency to omit, it
sometimes helps to boost it first (set the filter to positive gain).
After you have found it, you can use the Inv button to cancel it out.
Band 1 Freq
(20 to 2000 Hz)
Sets the frequency of the low band.
Band 1 Q-Factor
(0.5 to 10)
Controls the width or resonance of the low band.
Band 1
Filter mode
For the low band, you can select between three types of shelving
filters, a Peak (band-pass), and a Cut (low-pass/high-pass) filter.
When Cut mode is selected, the Gain parameter is fixed.
-Shelf I adds resonance in the opposite gain direction slightly
above the set frequency.
-Shelf II adds resonance in the gain direction at the set
frequency.
-Shelf III is a combination of Shelf I and II.
Band 2 Gain
(-20 to +24 dB)
Sets the amount of attenuation/boost for the mid 1 band.
Band 2 Inv button Inverts the gain value of the filter (see the description of the Invert
button for Band 1).
Band 2 Freq
(20 to 20000 Hz)
Sets the center frequency of the mid 1 band.
Band 2 Q-Factor
(0.5 to 10)
Sets the width of the mid 1 band: the higher this value, the
narrower the bandwidth.
Band 3 Gain
(-20 to +24 dB)
Sets the amount of attenuation/boost for the mid 2 band.
Band 3 Inv button Inverts the gain value of the filter (see the description of the Invert
button for Band 1).
Band 3 Freq
(20 to 20000 Hz)
Sets the center frequency of the mid 2 band.
Band 3 Q-Factor
(0.5 to 10)
Sets the width of the mid 2 band: the higher this value, the
narrower the bandwidth.
