Single-Band EQparameters
• Mode buttons: Choose an EQ type.
• Low Cut: Low Cut EQ attenuates the frequency range that falls below the selected
frequency.
• Low Shelf: Low Shelving EQ affects only the frequency range that falls below the
selected frequency.
• Parametric: ParametricEQ is a simple filter with a variable center frequency. It can
be used to boost or cut any frequency band in the audio spectrum, either with a
wide frequency range or as a notch filter with a very narrow range. A symmetrical
frequency range on either side of the center frequency is boosted or cut.
• High Shelf: High Shelving EQ affects only the frequency range above the selected
frequency.
• High Cut: HighCut EQ attenuates the frequency range above the selected frequency.
• Frequency knob and field: Set the cutoff frequency.
• Gain knob and field: Set the amount of cut or boost. Available only for Shelf and
Parametric EQs.
• Slope knob and field: Choose the amount of cut, in decibels per octave. The higher the
value, the more pronounced the effect. Available only for Low Cut and Hi Cut EQs.
• Q Factor knob and field: Set the width of the frequency band around the cutoff
frequency.
Vintage EQ Collection
MainStage Vintage EQ collection overview
The MainStage Vintage Console EQ, MainStage Vintage Graphic EQ, and MainStage Vintage
Tube EQ plug-ins are modeled on the original EQ circuits of three classic units from the
1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
The unique output stage of each unit is also modeled, allowing you to pair the output stage
of any unit with the original or other EQ models.
Further enhancements include fully sweepable frequency controls that allow more detailed
signal contouring than the fixed frequency options found on some of the original devices.
Each vintage EQ unit provides a distinct tonal signature that imparts a sonic color on
signals, unlike precise, clean modern equalizers such as the other Logic EQs.
All vintage EQ models share a set of common Output parameters, along with unique
parameters that are discussed in each section.
