OVERLOUD GEMS EQ550
EQ550
EQ550 is modeled after a renowned American EQ created with custom op-amps. It has become
famous thanks to its unique Proportional-Q design, meaning that the bandwidth of the fi lters
becomes narrow when the gain of the fi lter increases. For low gain settings the EQ delivers a
smoother tone: its character becomes more and more aggressive when the bands gain band is
raised. This design makes the
EQ550 unique.
INPUT GAIN - This knob controls the input gain. It ranges from –15 dB to +15 dB.
HARMONICS - Indicates the amount of harmonics introduced by non linear components of the
model like transformers and custom vintage op-amps.
L/F - Low frequency PEAK/SHELF switch. Shelf mode when the button is lit.
LOW BAND - Adjusts the low band frequency ranging from 50 Hz to 400 Hz, and its level with a
variable control ranging from –12 dB to +12 dB.
The
ON button enables/disables the band processing, while CUE does something almost the
opposite, allowing you to sort of “solo” the frequency setting, and hear which frequencies the
band is controlling.
MID BAND 1 - Adjusts the fi rst mid band frequency ranging from 400 Hz to 5 kHz, and its level with
a variable control ranging from –12 dB to +12 dB.
The
ON button enables/disables the band processing, while CUE does something almost the
opposite, allowing you to sort of “solo” the frequency setting, and hear which frequencies the
band is controlling.
MID BAND 2 - An additional mid band, exactly the same as MID BAND 1 .
HIGH BAND - Adjusts the high band frequency ranging from 5 kHz to 15 kHz, and its level ranging
from –12 dB to +12 dB.
The ON button enables/disables the band processing, while CUE does something almost the
opposite, allowing you to sort of “solo” the frequency setting, and hear which frequencies the
band is controlling.
H/F - High frequency PEAK/SHELF switch. Shelf mode set when the button is lit.
OUTPUT - Adjusts the output level ranging from 15 dB to +15 dB with central zero.
FILTER -50 Hz to 15 kHz band-pass fi lter.
