1.3 Concepts and Terminology
H-EQ has five parametric bands
plus high- and low-pass filters, with seven
different EQ types available for each band: US Vintage, UK Vintage
1, UK Vintage 2, US Modern, UK Modern, Digital 1 and Digital 2.
Modes
•
Linked/Stereo
– Both left and right channels receive the same EQ processing, as with any stereo EQ.
•
Unlinked/Dual
– Different EQ processing may be applied to the left and right channels.
•
MS Matrix
– An MS matrix is applied which separates the stereo input into M (Mid) and S (Sides), thus enabling you to apply different EQ
to the M and S channels. This is helpful in mastering situations where center-panned information may require different EQ processing
than side-panned content, or when you need to correct the stereo imaging of sources such as drum overheads.
Analog
The Analog section provides control over the level of harmonics, hum, and noise levels added to the signal. To save DSP, the H-EQ Lite
components do not include the Analog section.
Analyzer
The H-EQ’s frequency analyzer presents a real-time graphical display of the input signal, output signal or both, as well as the EQ curve
currently applied to the signal.
To save DSP, the H-EQ Lite components do not include the Analyzer.
