EQ features

Many audio signals coming into the console require some degree of corrective eq in order to be part of a good sounding mix.The X-VCA offers an uncompro- mised, full parametric EQ on each channel.

The input EQ consists of four full parametric bands: high, high-mid, low-mid, and low. The high and low bands are independently switchable for either adjustable bandwidth or shelving mode. All bands offer a generous overlap of adjacent oper- ating frequencies. An independent, variable high pass filter provides additional problem-solving flexibility.

high frequency—HF

Bandwidth A Q range of 3.0 to 0.7 (0.5 octave to 2.0 octave) is available. Turning the control full clockwise switches operation to a plus/minus shelving mode.

Boost / Cut (inner knob)15dB boost and cut.

Frequency (outer knob) Continuously sweepable between 1kHz and 20kHz

high mid—HM

Bandwidth A Q range of 3.0 to 0.7 (0.5 octave to 2.0 octave) is available.

Boost / Cut (inner knob)15dB boost and cut.

Frequency (outer knob) Continuously sweepable between 400 Hz and 8 kHz.

Low mid—LM

Bandwidth A Q range of 3.0 to 0.7 (0.5 octave to 2.0 octave) is available.

Boost / Cut (inner knob)15dB boost and cut.

Frequency (outer knob) Continuously sweepable between 100 Hz and 2 kHz.

Low frequency—LF

Bandwidth A Q range of 3.0 to 0.7 (0.5 octave to 2.0 octave) is available. Turning the control full clockwise switches operation to a plus/minus shelving mode.

Boost / Cut (inner knob)15dB boost and cut.

Frequency (outer knob) Continuously sweepable between 40 Hz and 800 kHz.

eq on

Equalizer is on. This switch is used to activate the EQ section and can be used to make A/B comparisons between "flat" and eq'd signals.

When boosting or cut-	+
ting EQ, it is often

necessary to compensate for cumulative level changes. This is best done with the Input Gain control
