The VTC has been praised for its classic, ‘musical sounding’ EQ, capable
of overall contouring, creative shaping and corrective treatments. The EQ
stage shares the warmth, transparency and smoothness of the TL Audio’s
outboard EQ units. The four band EQ comprises three sections, all within
easy reach of the engineer: High Mid Parametric, Low Mid Parametric
and HF/ LF Shelving. In addition, part or all of the EQ is assignable to the
main channel or tape monitor signal paths making it a very practical and
flexible tool.
The EQ stage is post valve stage/insert point, and pre fader.
HIGH MID PARAMETRIC EQ (12)
Three pots control the action of the HM
Parametric section:
Cut/ Boost: +/-15dB
Centre Frequency: 500Hz - 18kHz
Q: Variable from 0.8 - 7.0
(1.25 - 0.15 octaves)
When the Q control is turned fully clockwise to its minimum value the
filter’s notch is wide. At this setting it will have an effect on a wider range
of frequencies, thus providing a more broadband and musical effect.
When turned fully anti-clockwise the ‘notch’ of the filter is narrow and so
a more limited frequency range is affected. This setting provides a more
severe, corrective EQ action.
