Output

The OUTPUT section is an output stage with active PAN control. A double Mono signal is produced from the Mono input signal which is available via the balanced and unbalanced outputs. The output signals can be fed to two insert returns on the mixing desk, a recorder or a stereo effects processor.

The active PAN control determines the balance between the left and right output channel. Unlike the passive pan-pot on cheaper mixing desks, the EQ MAGIX active PAN control is able to compensate for losses in loudness of up to around 3 dB. PAN control also proves useful if output signals are being looped into insert points on the mixing desk where the user wants to split the Mono signal actively into two Mono signals for further processing on the mixing desk, which should have different levels on the insert return.

The output peak levels (PPM values) are indicated on the LED display. The levels are indicated in steps of 3 dB from -18 dB to + 9 dB.

The FADER switch converts the PAN control to a FADER function. The level is not altered when the potentiometer is set in the centre position. A attenua- tion of around -50 dB is possible on both sides of the control setting.

This function is useful to compensate an increase in level compared with the input signal, which may have been caused due to processing in the PARAMETRIC and VITALIZER sections. On the other hand, a variable output is also useful to prevent overdriving units located downstream.

The MUTE function switches the EQ MAGIX outputs off. Similar to the

MUTE functions of a mixing desk channel, muting can be performed when 25 Mute recording a signal directly from EQ MAGIX on to a R-Dat or the like after

the recording has taken place, without the level settings having to be changed.

EQ MAGIX specifications

Sound Performance Lab has made a significant mark in the world of audio engineering with its EQ MAGIX, an advanced equalizer plug-in designed for professional sound production. Known for its precision and versatility, EQ MAGIX is a valuable tool for music producers, sound designers, and mastering engineers.

One of the standout features of EQ MAGIX is its intuitive user interface, which allows for seamless navigation and efficient workflow. The layout is user-friendly, presenting an array of controls that give users the ability to make precise adjustments to their audio tracks. With a clear visual representation of frequency spectra, users can quickly identify problem areas in their mixes and address them with ease.

At its core, EQ MAGIX employs sophisticated filtering technologies that ensure high-quality sound processing. It offers various filter types, including parametric, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch filters. This extensive selection enables users to tailor their sound with remarkable accuracy. The parametric filter is particularly noteworthy, allowing for precise frequency adjustments, including bandwidth control, which is essential for making subtle tonal changes.

Another key characteristic of EQ MAGIX is its support for high-resolution audio. It operates at sample rates up to 192 kHz, ensuring that the clarity and detail of your sound are maintained throughout the mixing and mastering process. This high level of audio fidelity is crucial when working in both studio environments and live settings.

The plug-in also features a dynamic EQ mode, which provides users with the ability to adapt the equalization based on the input signal's dynamics. This dynamic processing capability enhances the overall sound quality and enables greater control over how specific frequencies react to varying levels of audio, making it an indispensable tool for achieving professional mixes.

Moreover, EQ MAGIX integrates well with various digital audio workstations (DAWs), allowing for seamless incorporation into existing workflows. Its compatibility with industry-standard platforms ensures that users can easily implement it into their projects without any technical hurdles.

In conclusion, Sound Performance Lab's EQ MAGIX stands out as a robust and versatile equalizer plug-in that caters to the needs of audio professionals. With its intuitive interface, high-quality filtering technologies, dynamic processing capabilities, and high-resolution audio support, EQ MAGIX is an essential tool for anyone looking to elevate their sound production. It epitomizes the merging of functionality and user experience, making it a valuable addition to any audio engineer's toolkit.
