• The LF sec tion operates o ver a f requency range of 40 Hz to 6 00Hz and is c apable of up to 16. 5dB of c ut or b oost. Selecting BELL in this mode switches the equaliser to a peaking curve.
• The LMF section operates over a frequency range of 200Hz to 2 kHz and is capable of ±20dB of gain with a continuously variable Q from 0.5 to 2.5.
• The HMF section operates over a frequency range of 600Hz to 7kHzand is capable of ±20dB of gain with a continuously variable Q from 0.5 to 2.5.
• The HF sectio n operates over a f requency range of 1 .5kHz to 22kHz and is capable of up t o 20dB of cut or boost. Selecting BELL in this mode switches the equaliser to a peaking curve.
As default, the Duende EQ is set to theG Series EQ curve. The G Series shelving curves have a degree of overshoot/undershoot (depending on whether you are boosting or cutting) below the selected HF frequency or above the selected LF frequency. At any Q setting, the bandwidth of the HMF and LMF sections varies with gain, whereby an incre ase in boost or cut increases the selectivity of the EQ. This type of EQ can sound effective when used at moderate settings; the gentle Q curve lends itself to the application of overall EQ on combined sources and subtle corrective adjustments to instruments and vocals.
