PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER MENU
This powerful parametric equalizer has four identical and independent bands.
Each of the four bands can be switched in or out independently, and is fully
adjustable in three ways:
Center frequency – 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Bandwidth – 0.2 to 3.0 octaves.
Boost/Cut – +/- 14.0dB.
The position of the parametric equalizer in the signal chain can be selected
to be prior to the multiband AGC/Compressor, or after it. The effect created by
inserting the equalizer into each position is different.
When the parametric equalizer is used ahead of the multiband AGC the
equalization curves “pre-load” the AGC drive to make it operate in a frequency
conscious way. Be aware however that EQ changes made to the audio – even
dramatic changes – might be reduced when the audio goes through the multi-
band compressor, especially when operating with ratios greater than about 4:1.
The controls of the equalizer can be manipulated in two ways. The first is by
directly clicking on and dragging the controls in the parametric equalizer control
screen. As the controls are manipulated, numerical representations of the control
settings appear in the boxes below the band that is being adjusted.
