1. Introduction

Module A-128 (Fixed Filter Bank) is a filter bank,
made up of 15 parallel band pass filters, all with
fixed middle frequencies and bandwidth:

50 Hz

350 Hz

2.2 kHz

75 Hz

500 Hz

3.6 kHz

110 Hz

750 Hz

5.2 kHz

150 Hz

1.1 kHz

7.5 kHz

220 Hz

1.6 kHz

11.0 kHz.

Each band pass filter has its own amplitude control
knob
, with which that frequency band can be attenua-
ted. The bandwidth of each of the filters is approxi-
mately half an octave.

The signal at the output of the A-128 contains a mix of
all the filters, depending on the position of each one’s
amplitude control knob.

The filter bank’s main job is to emphasise individual
sections of the whole audio frequency range. It’s like
a passive 15-band EQ.
