Equaliser

Every standard input channel includes the David Dearden four-band console EQ. The EQ is divided into two independently assignable sections so part can process the LF path while the other part processes SF.

HF and LF shelves​

  • IN places the shelf section in circuit.
  • SF assigns the shelf section to the Short Fader path. With SF disengaged it remains on LF.
  • HF provides up to ±15 dB and can be switched between 10 kHz and 18 kHz using AIR.
  • LF provides up to ±15 dB and can be switched between 50 Hz and 100 Hz.

Parametric mids​

  • IN places the parametric section in circuit.
  • SF assigns the parametric section to the Short Fader path independently of the shelf section.
  • HMF sweeps approximately 450 Hz to 20 kHz.
  • LMF sweeps approximately 50 Hz to 1.5 kHz.
  • Each mid band provides up to ±15 dB of boost/cut.
  • BW/Q changes the bandwidth: a narrower setting targets a smaller frequency range, while a wider setting affects more surrounding frequencies.

The continuously variable mid-band Q range is 0.6 to 3.7.

Split the EQ between paths​

The shelf and parametric sections have independent SF switches. This allows, for example, the shelf EQ to be recorded on the Mic/Line/SF path while the parametric mids remain available for the DAW/Tape/LF monitor path.
