Chapter 5: Cambridge EQ

Note that the Q numeric value in relation to its knob position is warped (i.e.
not linear) and varies according to the parametric type.

Type I

When set to Type I, the bandwidth remains at a fixed Q regardless of the gain
setting for the band; there is no Q/Gain interdependency. In addition, there
is a finer resolution of the Q knob in the middle of its range. This makes it eas-
ier to achieve subtle bandwidth changes. Note that the Q value and knob po-
sitions do not change as the gain is modified. See

Figure 19

.

Type II

When set to Type II, there is a Q/Gain dependency on boost. The bandwidth
increases continuously as the gain is boosted, but not when attenuated. The
Q knob position determines the maximum Q at full gain.

Filter bandwidth is broader at lower boost settings and narrower at higher
boost settings. This can produce a smoother, more natural response when
boosting filter gain.
