Phoenix Audio DRS-EQ/500 - Mono Class A 4 Band EQ for the API 500 Series User Manual
Page 5
We have selected eleven switch-able frequencies, which we will be most used
for a variety of instruments and voices. The switch-able frequencies are :
HF – 15k & 10K
Mid HF – 6K, 3K & 1.6K
Mid LF – 800hz, 400hz & 200hz
LF – 130hz, 80hz & 40hz
Each of the four EQ bands has 16db cut and boost so its very powerful and
each click of the detented pots will equate to around 1.5db in either cut or boost.
How they are used in application settings could be like this :

Boost at 15k to inject some air into the vocal
