In addition to the three models that come with your StudioLive mixer, the following
additional EQ models are available for purchase from shop.presonus.com. Like the
Passive and Vintage EQ models, each of these plug-ins can be used on any input or
output channel:
• Alpine EQ-550. The 1960s-vintage EQ provides consistent, repeatable
equalization using three overlapping bands, divided into seven fixed frequency
points, each with five steps of boost or cut. Its selectable peaking or shelving filters
for the high and low band, along with an independently insertable bandpass filter,
provide an easy path to creating acoustically superior equalization. Included in the
Classic Studio Bundle.
• Baxandall EQ. This EQ offers the world's most popular EQ curve. Using gently
sweeping treble and bass EQ shelves, it allows you to make subtle, yet effective,
changes over wide swaths of the frequency spectrum. Included in the Modern
Classics Bundle.
• RC-500 EQ. It's rare to find a truly outstanding solid-state channel strip that can
deliver a vintage vibe reminiscent of classic high-end products, yet employs a
thoroughly modern design. The PreSonus RC 500 was one of these rare gems. The
RC 500 EQ plug-in is modeled after the channel strip's 3-band semi-parametric EQ
and combines isolated filters and optimized, per-band Q to provide subtle signal-
shaping without harsh artifacts. Included in the free PreSonus Bundle.
• Solar 69 EQ. The sound of classic British EQ is absolutely legendary and has
enhanced many a great recording. Emulating this classic British design, the
Solar 69 EQ adds definition to kick drums, shapes electric guitars, and adds
shimmer to acoustic guitars and vocals without sacrificing body. Included in the
Classic Studio Bundle.
• Tube Midrange EQ. This midrange EQ is based on a passive, all-tube design for
ultra-smooth and musical equalization, making it ideal for any midrange source
material. Included in the Vintage Channel Strips Bundle.
• Vintage 3-band EQ. With its distinct filter shaping, sheen, and bite, this three-
band active EQ includes both high and low shelving filters, providing enhanced
tone-shaping possibilities. Included in the Vintage Channel Strips Bundle.
• VT-1 EQ. The VT-1 EQ models a popular vacuum tube channel strip's 4-band
semi-parametric EQ, which combines isolated filters and optimized, per band Q.
Designed with musicality in mind, this EQ is smooth and refined, which made it an
instant classic. Included in the free PreSonus Bundle.
More information on installing and using plug-in models can be found in the
PreSonus StudioLive Fat Channel Add-on Addendum. Once a plug-in has been
installed on your StudioLive, it will be available from the drop-down list on the Touch
Display.
The eight Scribble Strips in the Fat Channel show pertinent data about the current
settings of these controls. The controls differ, based on the model of EQ you select.
Power User Tip: Use the Tap button to "null" button any parameter by pressing and
holding the Tap button while adjusting the control of your choice to return that control to
its default setting.
The EQ models can be selected from the Touch Display when EQ mode is active in
the Fat Channel:
