EQUALIZER (EQ)
The 5950 has steep-slope bass shelving equalizer and three bands of fully parametric bell-shaped EQ.
You can set the slope of the LF shelving EQ to 6, 12, or 18 dB/octave and adjust the shelving frequency. The bass
slope can be 6, 12 or 18dB/octave.
The PHASE ROTATOR corrects asymmetrical voice energy to make it easier for the 5950 to process dry voice. Orban
recommends this feature should be left on.
The DJ BASS BOOST (5 Band Option Only) Sets the amount of bass boost on live voice to “fill in” with more warmth
to voice only audio.
In its default Off position, it causes the gain reduction of the lowest frequency band to move quickly to the same
gain reduction as its nearest neighbor when gated. This fights any tendency of the lowest frequency band to
develop significantly more gain than its neighbor when processing voice because voice will activate the gate
frequently. Each time it does so, it will reset the gain of the lowest frequency band so that the gains of the two
bottom bands are equal and the response in this frequency range is flat. The result is natural-sounding bass on
male voice.
If you like a larger-than-life, “chesty” sound on male voice, set this control away from Off.
When so set, gating causes the gain reduction of the lowest frequency band to move to the same gain reduction
(minus a gain offset equal to the numerical setting of the control) as its nearest neighbor when gated. You can
therefore set the maximum gain difference between the two low frequency bands, producing considerable
dynamic bass boost on voice.
