3.5 LOW & HIGH PASS FILTERS
The High Pass Filter range is from 20Hz to
500Hz. The Low Pass Filter range is from
1kHz to 20kHz. The filters will cut all frequen-
cies below the high pass filter and all fre-
quencies above the low pass filter at 12dB/
octave. When set to their extremes, only the
frequencies between 500Hz and 1kHz are left
untouched.
Filtering the irrelevant frequencies of a track
allows the instrument stand out and provides
a cleaner overall mix. For example, the low fre-
quency energy of an acoustic guitar track can
get in the way of the bass guitar and kick drum.
Filtering the low frequencies of the acoustic
guitar track makes the bass guitar and kick
drum sound tighter and more defined.

3.4 EQ & FILTERS ON/OFF BUTTONS
These lighted On/Off buttons allow you to turn
the EQ and filters on and off individually. The
buttons glow green when processing is on.
They are dark when processing is off. Turning
the button on and off offers a quick A/B com-
parison, allowing you to hear the affect the EQ
and filters have on the program content.
Note: These are hardwire bypasses.
3.6 SHELVING & PEAKING EQ
High shelving EQ will boost or cut all frequencies above the selected
high frequency. Frequencies below that setting are untouched.
High peaking EQ will boost or cut only a small amount of frequen-
cies above and below the selected high frequency. How many fre-
quencies above and below is dependant on the bandwidth or “Q”
setting. The narrower the bandwidth, the less other frequencies are
affected. The EQF 500 has a bandwidth of one octave at maximum
cut or boost. Peaking EQ is used when only a specific frequency
needs to be boosted to highlight the character of a track or cut to
allow the remaining frequencies to be highlighted.
