Band Selector
Click onto one of these five buttons to select the band to be manipulated by the Gain, Frequency and Q control
underneath. A band gets also selected if it is manipulated in the small or big graph window.
Selected band characteristics
These five buttons determine the characteristics of the selected EQ band. The choices from left to right are High-
Pass Filter, Low Shelving, Peak, High Shelving and Low-Pass Filter.
Selected Band On/Off
Switches the selected EQ band on or off. By default the five bands are switched off in order to economize DSP
power, so don’t forget to switch an EQ band on before you can hear what it is doing.
Gain Control
-24 dB to +24 dB, boost and cut.
Frequency Control
The range for each band is depending on the sampling rate of the project:
•
For sampling rates up to 48 kHz the frequency range of each band is 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
•
For sampling rates up to 96 kHz the frequency range of each band is 20 Hz to 40 kHz.
•
For sampling rates up to 384 kHz (e.g. DXD mixing) the frequency range of each band is 20 Hz to 80 kHz.
Q (bandwidth) Control
The range for the Q parameter is 0.2 up to 100. A Q of 0.2 results in a very wide bandwidth, a Q of 100 will give an
extremely narrow notch.

The Big Graph Window
The big graph window opens when you double-click the small graph window inside the
EQ Section
. The current
settings of the selected EQ band are displayed as a blue line and the resulting overall EQ curve is displayed as a
gray shaded area. Frequency and Gain parameters of each of the five bands can be altered by clicking on a band’s
