to as the “air” band. While there aren’t very many instruments

that contain 18KHz information directly, many instruments and

mixes contain upper harmonics which can add extra definition

and “space” when boosted. Cutting at 18KHz can decrease hiss

and noise.

The High Shift switch selects the corner frequency of the High

Frequency control. In the “out” position the corner is 18KHz. In

the “in” position the corner is 6KHz.

NNoottee::

You’ll notice the High Frequency and Hi-Mid Frequency

controls overlap (meaning they cover the same frequencies). This

is intentional and is one of the powerful features of the Tube EQ.

This feature allows you the ultimate in flexibility. For example, on

cymbals try boosting 18KHz with the High control while cutting

20KHz with the Hi-Mid control for a very bright, yet noise free

result.

The Power switch applies and removes power from the unit. The

Tube EQ should be turned “on” only when all monitor levels are

turned down, or off, to protect against any “thumping” caused

by high gain settings. Likewise, the Tube EQ should be turned

“off” after turning all monitor levels down.

The Tube EQ’s XLR connectors follow the AES standard:

Pin 1 = Ground, Pin 2 = Hot (+), Pin 3 = Cold (-). The unbal-
