Description
Shelf/Cut Filters tailor the upper and lower frequency ranges
of personal in-ear monitors.
A Low-Cut (aka High-Pass) Filter is often used to remove
frequencies below the lower limit of the transducer. Use the
Low-Cut Filter to remove low frequencies that tend to bottom
out less expensive earphones. Judicious use of the Low-Cut Filter
together with the SUB Output and a tactile thumper or seat
shaker can tidy up an in-ear mix considerably.
A High-Cut (aka Low-Pass) Filter is used to remove frequen-
cies above a particular frequency. You might use the High-Cut
Filter to limit the frequency range to the upper cutoff of 15 kHz
common to many wireless transmitters.
Low- and High-Shelf Filters are similar to the simple bass
and treble tone controls found on most home stereos. Due to
those pesky laws of physics, some in-ear monitors benefit from
a slight boost in the bottom end using the LOW SHELF filter
centered around 100 Hz or so. Similarly, a slight boost in the 8
kHz to 12 kHz range of the HIGH SHELF filter helps brighten
and add some “air” to the overall mix.
