Off position: Set the gain control in the middle (click) position, so that it is neither
boosting nor cutting frequencies.
Using the Low and High Eq
Low and High Eq are often used to correct problems with a signal:
• To compensate for a lack of something in the original recording (for example, if
you had to roll off a lot of bass during recording because you were getting a lot of
bass lift).
• To replace something you lost in the recording format (particularly top end).
• To reduce something excessive (such as a very bassy sound).
Use the Low Eq to boost subsonic information, thus giving a bassy sound, or to
attenuate a sound that is too bassy.
Use the High Eq to boost ambience and reverb in a room, or to attenuate an over-
bright sound.
Low Mid Eq and High Mid Eq
The Low Mid Eq and High Mid Eq give you control over the entire frequency
spectrum. Unlike the High and Low Eq, the Low Mid Eq and High Mid Eq affect only a
given frequency, plus some frequencies to either side.
