O92” is a 7-band preset that uses tight ratios over threshold in the lowest band for strong consistent bass
regardless of source material with looser ratios in the mid-bands to keep vocals and drums open. It also
takes advantage of the WB AGC2 in the “Bass Only” mode to deliver an especially solid low end and uses
the parametric EQ to “pre-load” the highs which then receive a good dose of fast compression and
