6.1.3.14. Param Eq
The SQ80 V offers a five-band fully parametric equalizer. An equalizer (EQ) selectively
amplifies or attenuates frequencies in the frequency spectrum. A parametric EQ allows you
to adjust the range that will be affected by its frequency bands (i.e., the Q, or width).
Many parametric EQs take the easy way out and use shelving EQs for the lowest and
highest frequency ranges, but SQ80 V allows you to adjust the Q for all 5 frequency bands.
The circles in the picture correspond to the controls below the curve visualizer. The circles
may be dragged around, which adjusts the frequency and the gain of the selected band at
the same time. A right-click on the circle will adjust the width of that band as you drag the
cursor up and down.
You can also select a particular EQ band by clicking on its tab to the left of the curve
visualizer.
