Linkwitz-Riley (Linkwitz)
One type of filter characteristics. As second-order filters, the sum of the output voltages for LPF and
HPF have a gain of 0bB across the entire band. The pass band is flat, but the cutoff frequency gain is
-6 dB.
Pan
Sets the distribution ratio of the input signal between right and left.
Pan Nominal Position
Sets the 0 dB reference for pan. There are two selections available, [Center] and [LR] (LR Nominal).
With the “Center Nominal” setting, level is nominal when pan is set to center, and level is +3dB when
pan is set fully left or right.
With the “LR nominal” setting, level is -3dB when pan is set to center, and nominal when pan is set fully
left or right.
Phase
Reverses the phase of the signal. If you turn this ON, signal is inverted. If you turn this OFF, the signal
is not inverted.
Q
Sets the frequency bandwidth that will change the sound. As the value gets larger, the width gets
narrower and the curve becomes steeper.
In the parametric equalizer, this sets the frequency width where the gain will be cut or boosted. When
Q is widened, the gain is boosted or cut along a wide range centering on the frequency set by the
frequency setting, resulting in a large change in the tone quality. When Q is narrowed, only a specific
frequency is boosted or cut.
Range
Set for Ducking and Gate. Sets the amount by which the level is reduced when signal is ducked/
gated. It can be set within the range of -70 to 0 dB. At -70 dB the entire signal above the threshold
value is cut. At 0 dB, there is no effect.
Ratio
Sets the ratio of change in the output signal level with respect to the input signal level.
At 1:1, there is no compression.
At 2:1, when a trigger signal level that exceeds the threshold changes by 10 dB, the output level will
change by 5 dB.
