This filter specialized in changing the overall
sonic character of a track in fine nuances. It fea-
tures two controllers per channel and is capable
of flexibly producing convincing results in no
time at all.
Whenever a classic shelving filter would be too
limited and a fully parametric filter would too
much, the Niveau Filter is the efficient and el-
egant solution.
Its main task is changing the proportions be-
tween high and low frequencies. It works like
a pair of scales: Dependent on the gain setting
around a selectable center frequency, the high
frequencies are boosted up to +3 dB while the
low frequencies are simultaneously attenuated
by -5 dB maximum.
Turning the gain controller into the other di-
rection will cut the treble and boost the bass
instead.
Note:
Settings in the border areas of the cov-
ered frequency range produce ‘almost’ shelving
filters, by the way.
