G10 Graphic Equaliser
Congratulations! You’ve purchased a G10 500 Series 10-Band equalizer. This EQ has balanced input and
output and hi/low-pass filters and is the ultimate hands-on sound shaping tool for tracking, mixing, or mastering.
About the G10:
The G10 combines a punchy, transformer-based signal path with the versatile 10-band graphic EQ configuration
and a 2520 style op-amp — making it ideal for tweaking drum or guitar sounds, or even processing an entire mix.
With 10 carefully selected bands offering up to 12 dB of boost or cut on tap, the G10 offers a level of tone
sculpting that can help any audio sit perfectly in the mix. The easy-to-use slider-based interface helps users
intuitively visualize the EQ curves they are applying. Switchable high-pass and low-pass filters, tuned at 80 Hz
and 12 kHz respectively, help make the G10 a truly complete sound shaping solution.
The BAE Audio G10 implements an op-amp like those used in well-loved ‘70s American boards. Unlike some
other 10-band equalizers presently on the market, the G10 is fully transformer balanced on the input and output.
The G10 also features a CineMag transformer balanced in and out that imbues any audio passing through it with
a unique tonal character.
Installation of 500 Series Units:
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your 500 series rack and power supply to install your
G10. Make sure that the card is firmly seated in the slot and fully screw the installation screws into the 500 series
rack enclosure. Your input and output connections will be provided on the rear of the rack enclosure either as
XLR connectors or part of a DSUB 25 array.
EQ Sliders:
Each of these sliders will give 12 dB of “Boost” and 12 dB of “Cut”. There are ten sliders per channel – ten for
the Left channel, and ten for the Right channel. Looking at the front panel, the sliders that control the lowest
frequencies are on the left, with the higher frequencies farther right. Usually, identical adjustments should be
made for both channels These sliders are one octave apart from one another. This corresponds with the entire
range of human hearing. The last page of this owners’ manual contains a chart, showing which sliders to adjust
to affect the sound of various instruments. For instance, the lowest note of a bass guitar is 42 Hz. By adjusting
the sliders at 30 Hz and 60 Hz you can raise or lower the volume of the bass guitar, bass drum, and any other
musical instruments that occupy this frequency range. On the other hand, the sound of the female vocalist
occupies a frequency range from roughly 200 Hz to 1500 Hz. By adjusting the sliders within this range, you can
change the tonal character of the female voice, and any other musical instruments that occupy this frequency
range.
