Electrix EQ Killer - Manual (Page 8)

LOW, MID and HI Band Level Controls: This sets the
amount of the band to be introduced to the music. At the cen-
ter dented position there is no change in the band signal level,
this is commonly known as "Unity gain". When a band has been
"Killed", the band level control sets the Effect send level for that
band. The Band Level controls allow for up to 6 dB of gain per
band. Take care to ensure that this can
be reproduced by your sound system
without causing damage.
Momentary & Band Kill
Buttons:
The momentary buttons
are used to "play" the band killing effect
in time with the music. The Band Kill
buttons latch the Band Kill effect on or
off. Momentary buttons reverses the
Band Kill state. If a Band Kill is latched
on, the Momentary will bypass the
Band Kill effect. If the Band is not "killed", the Momentary will
"kill" the Band.
LOW X-Over & HIGH X-Over Controls: The X-Over
controls allow the width of each band to be customized. The
LOW X-Over control sets the frequency that simultaneously
defines the top of the LOW band and the bottom of the MID
band. The HIGH X-Over control defines the top of the MID
band and the bottom of the HIGH band. For example, you could
"kill" the LOW and MID Bands and tweak the HIGH X-Over con-
trol frequency to isolate a hihat. You could also eliminate a vocal
part by killing the MID band and using the LOW X-Over and
HIGH X-Over controls to focus the frequency range in on the
voice.
Note: It is possible to overlap the
LOW X-Over and HIGH X-Over fre-
quencies. When this is done the MID
Band controls are no longer effective.
In and Out Level LEDs: These
LEDs help you set and monitor the
optimal signal levels from your signal
sources as well as the outputs of EQ
Killer. The optimal setting occurs when
the In and Out LEDs show mostly green
with periodic peaks of red.
The Effect Send: Whenever a band has been killed it is sent
to the stereo Effect send on the back panel of EQ Killer. Use this
feature to send bands to an external effects unit for processing.
There are return jacks that sum in the effect signal with the active
source.
