Full Frequency Matrix
When your signal enters a channel on the Clariphonic, it is split
across 3 parallel paths, like 3 channels on a console. 1 of those
channels, your Full Frequency (FF) signal, goes directly to an
internal summing buss and is never processed or altered in any
way. Each of the other 2 channels is filtered thru its own
equalization circuit, and the resulting eq’d sounds are blended
in with the dry FF signal via the Focus and Clarity gain controls.
As with most console-style architectures, you can mute any of
the channels and listen to only the signal paths you wish to
hear.
• FF:
pressing this switch down mutes the Full Frequency
signal from the mix buss and lets you hear only the
eq'd signals for that channel
• Out: the center position of the switches marked Out
mutes the relevant engines from the mix buss
If you want to hear the original Full Frequency signal with no
equalization applied, set all appropriate switches to the Out
position.
If you want to hear the eq’d signal by itself, either to monitor
what the band is affecting or to pass the wet signal along to
other devices for further processing, depress the FF switch for
the appropriate channel(s).
Try this: mute the Full Frequency signals and, having now solo’d
the pristine top end of this box, feed it to your favorite
sweetening compressors and saturators, thicken it up, then
blend it back in parallel on your own console or DAW. Mmmm,
tasty top end!
