Moving a ball horizontally changes the gain by up to ±15 dB. Moving a ball vertically changes the frequency, ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. There is a Shelf / Bell option for bands 1 and 4 and it is described in detail on page 58. Q [bandwidth] is changed by pinching the ball. Double-tap an EQ ball to reset its gain to zero. Low Shelving - Band 1 The low EQ provides up to 15 dB of boost or cut from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Modern EQ Gain, Frequency and Q [Bandwidth]
The gain and frequency may be changed by moving any of the four numbered balls (representing each
band) until the desired sound has been achieved. Moving a ball horizontally changes the gain by up to
±15 dB. Moving a ball vertically changes the frequency, ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. There is a Shelf / Bell
option for bands 1 and 4 and it is described in detail on page 58. Q [bandwidth] is changed by pinching the
ball. Double-tap an EQ ball to reset its gain to zero.
Low Shelving – Band 1
The low EQ provides up to 15 dB of boost or cut from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. 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.
Low-Mid Peaking – Band 2
The low-mid EQ provides up to 15 dB of boost or cut from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Frequencies affected
typically include the male vocal range as well as the fundamentals and harmonics of many
lower-timbred instruments.
