LF Frequency
This control determines the band center frequency to be boosted or attenuated
by the band Gain setting. The available range is 30 Hz to 450 Hz in both
Black and Brown modes.
LF Bell
The Bell button switches the LF band from shelf mode to peak/dip mode. In
normal (shelf) mode, only frequencies below the frequency value are boosted
or attenuated. In Bell (peak/dip) mode, frequencies below and above the fre-
quency value are boosted or attenuated.
In Black mode, the LF Bell Q is 1.3 and the Brown mode the Bell Q is 0.8.
EQ Enable
These three buttons determine the status of the EQ mod-
ule.
EQ In
The EQ IN button enables the EQ module. The module is
enabled when the green LED below the button is illuminated.
EQ to Sidechain (DYN SC)
This control enables the EQ sidechain function. When the EQ sidechain is ac-
tive, signal output from the EQ module is removed from the audio path and is
instead routed to control (“key”) the dynamics module. The EQ sidechain is
enabled when the amber LED below the button is illuminated.
Sidechaining is typically used for de-essing and similar frequency-conscious
techniques. To listen to the sidechain key, simply disengage DYN SC to hear
the equalised signal. The sidechain dynamics/EQ implementations are true
stereo when used in a stereo in/stereo out (“SISO”) configuration.
Note:
The EQ module must be active in conjunction with the EQ DYN SC but-
ton for the EQ sidechain to function. Note there is another dynamics
sidechain available in the Filters section (
