Unusual EQ Conventions
The Massive Passive has design and operation characteristics that make it
unique in the EQ world. Some of these factors mean the “Massivo” may not
respond in a manner that you would expect from typical EQs. Keeping these
points in mind may help you obtain more satisfactory results. See “Notes from
Manley Laboratories” on page 329 for more tips.
Passive EQ No active components are used in the EQ circuits, just like revered vintage
EQs. This can make some adjustments respond in more subtle ways.
Parallel
T
opology
The EQ bands are routed in parallel instead of serially, so gain values for the
bands don’t “add up” like most EQs. For example, if two bands in the same
channel are boosted 20 dB at 2.7kHz, you’ll get much less than 40 dB of
boost at 2.7kHz.
