Shaping the sound of the lead voice |511
Adding EQ, compression and gate to the lead voice
While in the Global > Mic Setup > EQ/Dynamic page, you can program equal-
ization, compression and gate for the lead voice.
Programming the EQ
This is an extremely flexible 3-band EQ with frequency and gain-adjustable
high and low shelving bands, as well as a fully parametric band with Q con-
trol.
▪ Use the On/Off button to turn the EQ on or off.
▪ Use the Gain (upper) and Frequency (lower) controls to create the EQ curve.
The Low and High Gain controls boost or cut all frequencies below or above
the frequencies set by the Frequency controls. These are most like the com-
mon Bass and Treble controls on a stereo system.
The Mid Gain control boosts or cuts the frequencies within a selected band
that is defined by a center frequency (Frequency control) and a width con-
trol (Q parameter). For vocals, the gain of a narrow parametric band is typi-
cally reduced to overcome room or voice resonances and smooth the sound
although experienced users may boost a band felt to be missing in a particu-
lar voice as well.
EQ Band Frequency Gain Q
Low 20 Hz … 1.00 kHz ±18 dB –
Mid 50 Hz … 10.00 kHz ± 18 dB 0.5 … 10.0
High 500 Hz … 20.00 kHz ±18 dB –
