Owner’s Manual
Choose between the following preset EQ settings:
• Vocal
• Vintage
• Bass-Boost
• Mid-Boost
• Band Pass
• Female Vox
Power User Tip: The best way to pick the best EQ setting for your voice is to experiment.
Everybody’s voice is unique and because EQs are entirely dependent on the frequency of
the source, your ears are your best tool in finding the right sound for your voice.
Like the Compressor, Revelator offers advanced controls and
several EQ models to choose from when you’re ready to dive
deeper. See Section 6.2.5 for Advanced EQ Controls.
4.2.5 Limiter
True to its name, a Limiter sets the upper dynamic range of your signal and prevents
the source from exceeding it by “limiting” it to that threshold. If you’re thinking that
sounds a lot like what we just told you a compressor does, you’re catching on! A
limiter is different from a compressor in a very critical way: Unlike a compressor,
which works gradually to reduce the signal, the limiter prevents virtually any increase
in gain at the upper end of the dynamic range. In other words, you can try to get as
loud as you want, but the limiter is going to stop that volume spike like a brick wall.
Choose between Low, Moderate, and High. Low will provide the
least amount of limiting, High will provide the most.

Section 6.2.6 for advanced Limiter controls.
