You will probably notice that when increasing gain, there isn't an increase in the overall
perceived volume. This is due to the fact that the V76-Pre plug-in has an Automatic Gain
Compensation, which balances the gain induced in this stage so that we don't have to
bother with differences in volume, and can concentrate on the real deal, which is the audio
saturation.
5.1.2. Single Channel EQ Section
As with the preamp section, we also have just one column of controls for the EQ (V612)
section. Let’s take a look at all the controls.
The EQ section of the plug-in is very simple and straightforward. It's a classic two-band EQ,
with High and Low Shelf bands. This is the type of EQ that started it all, and the same type
of EQ that we can find in Hi-Fi devices even today.
The two bands have very smooth and gentle Baxandall curves, with fixed frequencies:
100Hz for the Low Shelf and 5kHz for the High Shelf. Since both the frequencies and the
bandwidth are fixed, we have just one control for the boost/cut amount. There is one boost/
cut control for each band, naturally, and they are labeled with a Treble Clef and a Bass Clef.
The range is b10dB and -10dB. Default position is 0.
The High Pass Filter positioned below the two EQ bands was part of the original V76. This is
a High Pass Shelf Filter, with gentle curves.
This filter has several choices. We start with the Flat position (filter Off).
Besides that one, we have the 80Hz position (this was the frequency that differentiated this
model from the V76/120), which cuts off frequencies below 80Hz. The other position cuts
off frequencies below 300Hz. There's a third position that sums the two filters, for a more
effective filtering (higher slope). It's labeled 80+300Hz. Default is Flat (filter bypassed).
Below the filter controls, we have the Phase Reverse switch. This switch reverses the audio
phase, as its name implies. This is actually a feature added by Arturia, since the original
didn't have it.
The EQ section can be bypassed, by turning Off the Equalizer switch that is positioned right
below the Input Gain control. Default position is On.
