GigaStudio 4 Reference Manual 131
Equalizer
An equalizer changes the tonal quality of a signal. The one included with GigaStudio 4 is very comprehensive,
and offers four tone-shaping stages.
Graphic Display
The display shows a graphic representation of the frequency response that results from manipulating the
various stages of equalization. The vertical axis represents boost and cut (up to 15dB). The horizontal axis
shows the frequency range from 16Hz to 21kHz.
EQ Controls
Each stage of EQ has identical controls.
Gain:
This boosts or cuts the signal level at a particular frequency, or over a particular frequency range,
depending on the type of EQ response selected (described later).
Freq:
Determines the (center) frequency or frequency range.
Q:
Sets the range of frequencies around the frequency selected with the frequency control. Lower settings
boost a narrow range of frequencies. Higher settings boost a wider range.
EQ Type:
Click in the field just above the On button for each EQ band; a drop-down menu appears with six
EQ types.
