Presets
We have added a number of useful presets you may
want to browse through as a starting point.
SUB (10Hz)
This band controls the ultra-low sub frequencies.
If you need to get rid of some rumbling this is the
band to turn down, and if your mix can use some
really low kick or bass try increasing this extra-
ordinary low band.
40Hz
The 40 Hz band opens up low end in mixes,
makes bass drums bigger and electric bass
smoother when boosted.
160 Hz
Reduce here to make voices less resonant, or add
160 Hz to get that low narrator sound. Cutting
160 Hz on instruments can help bass and bass
drum punch through in rock or pop mixes. 650 Hz
Boosting this band on vocal tracks will make them
more understandable, whereas cutting this band will
make them less direct. Boosting this band on the
master will also add some power to a mix without
making it too aggressive in the high frequencies.
2.5 kHz
A very important band to control the bite of vocals,
the aggression in rock guitar sounds, or the midrange
in general for complex mixes.
AIR BAND
®
sweepable frequencies: 2.5, 5, 10, 20 & 40 kHz
Add some shiny highs to your original signal and hear
how almost every signal will open up and benefit from
this band. The higher frequency you select the
smoother high-end sound you get.
