Orban 5950 Technical Manual Operation 3-49
The difference will never exceed the difference that would have otherwise occurred if the lowest frequency band
was independently gated. If you are familiar with older Orban processors like the 8200, this is the maximum
amount of boost that would have occurred if you had set their DJ Bass Boost controls to On.
The amount of bass boost will be highly dependent on the fundamental frequency of a given voice. If the
fundamental frequency is far above 100Hz, there will be little voice energy in the bottom band and little or no
audio bass boost can occur even if the gain of the bottom band is higher than the gain of its neighbor. As the
fundamental frequency moves lower, more of this energy leaks into the bottom band, and you hear more bass
boost. If the fundamental frequency is very low (a rarity), there will be enough energy in the bottom band to force
significant gain reduction, and you will hear less bass boost than if the fundamental frequency were a bit higher.
The 5950’s bass, midrange, and high frequency parametric equalizers have curves that were modeled on the
curves of Orban’s classic analog parametrics (like the 622B), using a sophisticated, proprietary optimization
program. The curves are matched to better than 0.15 dB. This means that their sound is very close to the sound of
an Orban analog parametric. They also use very high quality filter algorithms to ensure low noise and distortion.
