SSL Console EQ and Filters

EQ-Section

Based on the EQ algorithm of the SSL C200 Console family, the equaliser is a four band parametric EQ. The distinctive Sound that was truthfully modelled on XL 9000K EQ circuit and includes two distinct EQ curves, one based on the SSL G series EQ and another based on the latest version of SSLʼs classic E series EQ.

The plug-in includes high and low frequency shelving equalisers (which can be switched to peaking curves via the BELL button) and two

overlapping equalisers with adjustable Q.

The Low Frequency section operates over a frequency range of 40Hz - 600Hz and is capable of up to 16.5dB of cut or boost.

The HF section operates over a frequency range of 1.5 kHz - 22 kHz and is capable of up to 20dB of cut or boost.

Normally these 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.

De-selecting the E button removes the overshoot/undershoot effect and provides a slightly gentler slope.

Selecting BELL in either mode switches the equaliser to a peaking curve.

The Low Mid Frequency section operates over a frequency range of 200Hz - 2 kHz and is capable of ±20dB of gain with a continuously variable Q from 0.5 to 2.5.
