Sibilance 7-10kHz 

 

Body 150-400Hz 

 

Popping below 80Hz 

 
Those who have been paying proper attention will have noticed that on the 
same instrument there are suggestions for both cut and boost at the same 
frequencies! Well there's no accounting for taste. 
 

REMOVING SUB-SONICS

 

The  75Hz  high  pass  filter  is  useful  for  removing  subsonics  such  as  wind 
and stage noise and will often help produce a much tighter bass and vocal 
sound. 
 

MAKING A COMPRESSOR FREQUENCY CONSCIOUS

 

Inserting the EQX20 into the side chain of a compressor such as the GCX2 
will make the compressor more sensitive to certain frequencies. Examples 
of this technique are De-Essing and De-Popping. 
 

SPECIAL EFFECTS

 

A  passable  telephone  voice  can  be  created  by  cutting  frequencies  below 
300Hz  and  above  3kHz.  Use  the  LF  and  HF  sections,  lowest  Q  (CW) 
setting  and  adjust  their  respective  FREQUENCY  controls  accordingly.
