ART Pro Audio VoiceChannel - Tube Channel Strip with Digital Outs - Manual (Page 10)

Semi-Parametric EQ
The ART Voice Channel™ offers a four-band semi-parametric equalizer. The EQ can be bypassed as well as
positioned before or after the dynamics processing section. Each band has + 15dB of control range.
The High and Low EQ bands are shelving type with a switch selectable turnover point.
The two Mid bands can be continuously tuned over a five octave range.

EQ Position Switch
The EQ POSITION switch allows you to connect the EQ before or after the dynamics processing block. This
is useful in cases where the input signal needs a great deal of EQ before the Compressor/Limiter processes it.
One example of using the EQ in the “PRE” position is using the LOW EQ control as a tunable low frequency
cut, supplementing the LOW CUT filter switch.
Refer to Figure 4 for the block diagram of the Tube Channel. Note that the Mic preamp insert jack function is
located before the EQ position switch.
EQ Bypass Switch
This switch allows you to instantly set the EQ completely flat without loosing the current EQ settings.
