HPF
The H P F button turns Band 1 into a highpass filter. This button
disables the GAIN and Q knobs for Band 1. When this function is on,
all audio below the Band 1 Frequency setting will be filtered out at a
slope of 12dB per octave.
Think of this function as a severe bass rolloff. It is useful for getting
rid of low-frequency hum, mic bumps, and rumbles.
LPF
The LPF button turns Band 5 into a lowpass filter. This button
disables the GAIN and Q knobs for Band 5. When this function is on,
all audio above the Band 5 Frequency setting will be filtered out at a
slope of 12dB per octave.
Think of this function as a severe treble rolloff. It is useful for getting
rid of tape hiss, TV or computer monitor whine, and other high-
frequency noises.
