UAD Powered Plug-Ins - 166 - Cambridge EQ
Type I When set to Type I, the bandwidth remains at a fixed Q regardless of the gain
setting for the band; there is no Q/Gain interdependency. In addition, there
is a finer resolution of the Q knob in the middle of its range. This makes it eas-
ier to achieve subtle bandwidth changes. Note that the Q value and knob po-
sitions do not change as the gain is modified. See Figure 59
.
Type II When set to Type II, there is a Q/Gain dependency on boost. The bandwidth
increases continuously as the gain is boosted, but not when attenuated. The
Q knob position determines the maximum Q at full gain.
Filter bandwidth is broader at lower boost settings and narrower at higher
boost settings. This can produce a smoother, more natural response when
boosting filter gain.
Note that the Q value increases as gain is boosted but the knob position does
not change The Q value is approached as gain increases, and reaches the
knob position at maximum gain. See Figure 60.
