Slope 3 to 12 dB / Octave
Sets the slope of the shelf.
Level -12 to + 12 dB
Amount of boost or cut. Adjustable in 1/2 dB steps.
The QUANTUM uses dbx Type IV™ 96 kHz converters. Type IV™ gives you more A to D head-
room and the ability to add Tape Saturation Emulation. (For more information on Type IV™
and TSE™, see the White Paper on page 65 of Appendix B).
Type IV™ On/Off
This turns Type IV™ on and off. When turned off, the QUANTUM’s A to D converters work as
standard 24-bit 96 kHz converters. Note that this can be controlled independently in dual mono
programs.
Color
This sets the color or tone of the Type IV™ conversion system. The following options are avail-
able:
Bright Very bright and airy up top.
Light
Not as much sizzle in the top but less aggressive on harsh mixes.
None No coloration.
Warm For that warm, and friendly feel.
Dark
Enhances low frequencies—good for an “bright” mix.
Level -4 to 0
Sets the signal level at which the Type IV™ conversion system starts to work.
The “Stereo Adjust” control lets you change the width of the stereo mix. Within the “Other”
menu the following parameters are user adjustable:
St Adj On/Off
I think you get it by now, turns it on, turns it off.
Balance -100% to +100%
This lets you adjust the panning of your signal from one side to the other. 0% is center, so
-100% becomes extreme left and +100% becomes extreme right.
M-S 100% to +100%
This controls the width of your stereo image. 0% is untouched so -100% becomes the narrow-
est (mono) while +100% become the widest possible stereo image.
