1.3 Concepts and Terminology
The 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.
The Analog section provides control over the level of harmonics, hum, and noise levels
added to the signal.
Analyzer
The H-EQ’s frequency analyzer presents a real-time graphical display of your input
signal, output signal or both, as well as the EQ curve currently applied to your signal.
