loss of around 10% (of the boost gain) in the overshoot region and further defines the
effect described above. This setting provides a response most like the legacy Neve
designs and their derivatives, and the later SSL G Series EQs. This response produces an
optimum effect by providing what the ear expects to hear as the gain control is operated,
and can explain the enduring popularity and renowned musical qualities attributed to EQs
of this type.
At maximum (blue plot), the Q control provides an overshoot of half the total boosted gain,
ie. for +20dB total HF boost the maximum loss in the overshoot region will be -8dB. The
curves are symmetrical in cut and boost gain settings.

In addition to the four Oxford R3 EQ types, a further GML 8200 emulation EQ is provided,
currently only for Pro Tools TDM and AAX DSP.
With the GML EQ, the Q controls in the LF and HF sections are inoperative when shelving
is selected. Any previous setting of the Q controls will be restored when the EQ is reset to
any of the appropriate GML 8200 band pass or Sonnox Oxford EQ selections.
GML 8200 Response Curves
The response curves of the emulation are very accurately matched to the outboard
analogue unit, giving all the character of the original GML 8200 EQ, but with the added
bonus of full +/-20dB gain ranges. Also, the Sonnox Oxford EQ filter sections may be run
whilst in GML mode for additional processing effects.
