3-Band EQ

This versatile equalizer provides two shelving filters at the high and low ends of the frequency range and a fully parametric band in the center. Up to ±24 dB of boost or cut is provided for each band.

Setting up a Parametric EQ

1.Turn up the gain on the band you are working with. This allows you to easily hear the effect of the filter.

2.Reduce the bandwidth if you are working with a mid-band.

3.Now adjust the Center Frequency to “zero-in” on the frequencies you wish to boost or cut.

4.Set the Gain to a positive value to boost frequencies or to a negative value to cut out frequencies.

5.Widen the Bandwidth to create a more natural sound.

6.Adjust and tweak as needed.
