Standard EQ
1. On/Off. Turns the EQ on or off in the signal chain.
2. Frequency. This control sets the center frequency at which
signals are boosted or cut for the currently selected band.
3. Gain. Sets the amount by which the selected frequency will be boosted or cut.
4. Q. Sets the Q (or width) of the current EQ band. Larger Q values affect a
narrower range of frequencies. Lower Q values affect a wider range.
5. Low Shelf On/Off. Enables/disables the low shelf EQ. When the Shelf button
is not engaged, the Low band is parametric. Enabling the Shelf button turns
the Low band into a low-shelving EQ that alters, by a fixed amount, a band
of low frequencies at and below a user-selected shelving frequency.
Power User Tip: A low shelving EQ is like a bass-control knob on a stereo. In this
mode, the Center Frequency control selects the shelving frequency.
6. Low Band Select. Enables/Disables the Low Band and
enables the Frequency, Gain, and Q for this band.
7. L-Mid Band Select. Enables/Disables the Low-mid Band and
enables the Frequency, Gain, and Q for this band.
8. H-Mid Band Select. Enables/Disables the High-mid Band
and enables the Frequency, Gain, and Q for this band.
9. High Band Select. Enables/Disables the High Band and
enables the Frequency, Gain, and Q for this band.
10. High Shelf On/Off. Enables/disables the high shelf EQ. When the Shelf button
is not engaged, the High band is a parametric EQ. Enabling the Shelf button
turns the High band into a high shelving EQ that alters, by a fixed amount, a
band of high frequencies at and above a user-selected shelving frequency.
Power User Tip: A high shelving EQ is like a treble-control knob on a stereo. In this
mode, the Center Frequency control selects the shelving frequency.
