But let's go back to the controls. On the top, we have the High Shelf band. As we just said,
this one has a fixed frequency, therefore we just have a control for the boost/cut, between
-18dB and +18dB. The Default position is 0 (middle).
Below this single control knob, we have the two controls for the Midrange, a Bell (Peak) EQ
band. The original 1073 had an aluminum outer ring to select the frequency and an inner
plastic knob to control the amount of boost or cut. Here, we have two separate controls and,
as we said, we are not limited to the six pre-determined frequencies of the original.
In fact, the frequency selection control knob where we define the center frequency for
the Bell EQ band, which is positioned a little higher than the boost/cut one on the right,
is sweepable, and allows us to choose any frequency within its range. It starts as low as
360Hz (the lowest fixed frequency selectable in the original) and goes all the way up to
7.2kHz, which was the highest selectable frequency in the original. By default, the knob is
positioned in the lowest point (0.36 or 360Hz).
The boost/cut control is on a separate knob on the right, positioned a little lower than the
frequency knob, and allows a boost/cut of +/- 18dB. The Default position is 0 (middle).
The third EQ band is the Low Shelf. Like the Midrange, this band is also sweepable. This time
we start really low, in the 35Hz range, and we can choose any frequency up to 220Hz. Both
frequencies were the respective lowest and highest selectable frequency of the original Low
Shelf band. As with the Midrange band, the default position is in the lowest point (35Hz).
