Filter Type Button
This button (indicating a peaking/parametric filter in the illustration) is used to select the filter type of the single
band of side chain EQ. You may choose from 6 different types of filters:
Figure 5.9: Peaking/Parametric
Peaking/Parametric – a second order bell-shaped parametric boost/cut filter. Boost/cut has a range of ± 24 dB.
When the boost is greater than +15 dB the filter gains a resonant quality. The center frequency of the filter can
be any frequency between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. The bandwidth of the filter is continuously variable between
0.1 octaves and 2.5 octaves.
Figure 5.10: Low Cut
Low Cut – a 12 dB/octave low cut filter with a -3dB point that is continuously adjustable between 20 Hz and
20 kHz.
Figure 5.11: High Cut
High Cut – a 12 dB/octave high cut filter with a -3dB point that is continuously adjustable between 20 Hz
and 20 kHz.
Figure 5.12: Low Shelf
Low Shelf – a shelving filter that applies boost/cut to low frequencies. Boost/cut is limited to +12 dB/– 24dB.
The bandwidth controls the dip/peak that is added at the end of the transition band.
Figure 5.13: High Shelf
High Shelf – a shelving filter that applies boost/cut to high frequencies. Boost/cut is limited to +12 dB/– 24dB.
The bandwidth controls the dip/peak that is added at the end of the transition band.
Figure 5.14: Bandpass
Bandpass – a bandpass filter with 6dB per octave skirt on the high and low ends of the pass band. The width
of the pass band can be adjusted between 0.1 octaves and 2.5 octaves and the center of the pass band is
continuously adjustable between 20 Hz and 20 kHz.
Filter Enable Button
Use this toggle button to enable each filter band. When the filter band is turned off the signal will pass through
the filter unchanged.
