Lo EQ Gain

This rotary switch determines the amount of boost or cut applied to the low fre-
quency signal. Fixed values of plus or minus 9, 6, 4.5, 3, or 1.5 dB can be
selected. When set to 0 dB, the filter is inactive.

High EQ

The high frequency (“HI”) shelf EQ has a selectable cutoff fre-
quency which can be cut or boosted by various amounts.

Hi EQ Frequency

This switch determines the cutoff frequency (4.5 kHz, 7 kHz,
or 10 kHz) of the high shelf EQ. This switch has no effect if the
Hi EQ Gain value is zero.

Note:

Like the hardware, high frequency values are not con-

secutively ordered.

Hi EQ Gain

This rotary switch determines the amount of boost or cut applied to the high
frequency signal. Fixed values of plus or minus 9, 6, 4.5, 3, or 1.5 dB can be
selected. When set to 0 dB, the filter is inactive.

Polarity

This switch inverts the polarity (aka “phase”) of the signal. The signal
polarity is inverted when the switch is in the up position. Polarity is nor-
mal when the switch is in the down position. Polarity inversion can help
reduce phase cancellations when more than one microphone is used to
record a single source.

Power

Power is the plug-in bypass control. When set to OFF, emu-
lation processing is disabled and DSP usage is reduced (if
DSP LoadLock is inactive). Power is useful for comparing the processed set-
tings to the original signal.

610 History

Creating an original 610 desk meant buying the individual modules and
building the console from scratch, as no complete consoles were ever sold
commercially. However, Bill Putnam himself built a few full-fledged desks for
his own studios, complete with fabricated frame, power supply, metering,
and buss/effects routing options.
