Bandwidth (Q) 

The bandwidth of the selected frequency is automatically adjusted with 
the selection of the frequency sweep control.  The lowest setting on any 
band will result in a narrow bandwidth of approximately 11 dB/octave  
(Q = 3.3).  As the frequency sweep control is adjusted to its highest 
setting (fully clockwise), the bandwidth widens to approximately  
4 dB/octave (Q = .8). 
 

Example: 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"Q"  (Q factor) is another method of defining bandwidth and requires a 
small mathematical calculation.  "Q" is the ratio between the selected 
center frequency and the -3dB down point bandwidth of that frequency. 
 
 
 
 
 

This control provides 15dB of bell shaped boost or cut for the high 
frequency range (5kHz to 15kHz), and is used in conjunction with the 
high frequency sweep adjust (see item 2).  0dB boost/cut (flat) is 
obtained when this control is set to its center position. 
 
The high frequency sweep control is used in conjunction with the high 
boost/cut control and provides continuous adjustment from 5kHz (fully 
counterclockwise) to 15kHz (fully clockwise). 
           
In addition to the ability to contour high band audio, the high band 
controls can reduce hiss that is present on low frequency information. If 
there is high frequency hiss or digital noise on a kick drum or bass track, 
the high sweep control may be set to its highest clockwise setting 
(15kHz) and its associated boost/cut control "cut" a few dB's.

Refer to Figure 10 for location of items 1 thru 7. 

formula: 

Q = Center Frequency /  Bandwidth

 

When the "mid band frequency sweep" control is set to its 
fully CCW position of 500Hz, the bandwidth is 
approximately 11dB/octave.  Therefore, an octave above the 
500Hz setting (1000Hz) and an octave below the 500Hz 
setting (250Hz) is affected 11dB less than its 500Hz center 
frequency when the "boost/cut" control is adjusted.  This is 
considered a relatively narrow bandwidth. 
 
When the "mid band frequency sweep" control is set to its 
fully CW position of 5kHz, the bandwidth is approximately 
4dB/octave.  Therefore, an octave above the 5kHz setting 
(10kHz) and an octave below the 5kHz setting (2.5kHz) is 
affected 4dB less than its 5KHz center frequency.  This is 
considered a relatively wide bandwidth.
