Each channel has 3-band equalization: 

low shelving, mid peaking, and high 
shelving. It’s probably all the EQ you’ll ever 
need! Shelving means that the circuitry 
boosts or cuts all frequencies past the 
specifi ed frequency. For example, the low 
EQ boosts bass frequencies below 80 Hz 
and continues down to the lowest note you 
never heard. Peaking means that certain 
frequencies form a “hill” around the center 
frequency.

With too much EQ, you can really upset 

things. We’ve designed a lot of boost and 
cut into each equalizer circuit because 
we know that everyone will occasionally 
need that. But if you max the EQ on every 
channel, you’ll get mix mush. Equalize subtly 
and use the left sides of the knobs (cut), as 
well as the right (boost). If you fi nd yourself 
repeatedly using full boost or cut, consider 
altering the sound source, such as placing a 
mic differently, trying a different kind of mic, 
changing the strings, or hiring a new lead 
singer.

The high EQ provides up to 15 dB of boost 

or cut above 12 kHz, and is fl at at the center 
detent. Use it to add sizzle to cymbals, an 
overall sense of transparency, or an edge to 
keyboards, vocals, guitar and bacon frying. 
Turn it down a little to reduce sibilance or to 
mask tape hiss.

The mid EQ provides up to 15 dB of boost 

or cut at 2.5 kHz, and is fl at at the center 
detent. Midrange EQ is often thought of as 
the most dynamic, because the frequencies 
that defi ne any particular sound are almost 
always found in this range. You can create 
many interesting and useful EQ changes by 
turning this knob down, as well as up. 

The low EQ provides up to 15 dB of boost 

or cut below 80 Hz. The circuit is fl at (no 
boost or cut) at the center detent position. 
This frequency represents the punch in bass 
drums, bass guitar, fat synth patches, and 
some really serious male singers who eat 
raw beef for breakfast.
