Master EQ

The MasterEQ section is a global equalization curve that is applied to
all sound before it leaves the "Main Outs" of the Fusion. Take a look
at the Output Block Diagram on page 262 to see where the MasterEQ
is located in your signal path.
Menu: (various modes)/Effects/MasterEQ
Parameter: Low Shelf Freq
Value Range: 20.00Hz to 1000.00 Hz
Recording engineers refer to a wide-bandwidth boost (or cut) at the ends
of the spectrum as a "shelf." This is because if you graph the
equalization curve, it looks like a shelf (or a plateau) that sits at the ends
of the frequency spectrum.
This parameter sets the cutoff point for your low frequency shelving
filter. All frequencies below this setting will be boosted (or cut)
depending on your "Low Shelf Gain" setting (see below).
Menu: (various modes)/Effects/MasterEQ
Parameter: Low Shelf Gain
Value Range: -18.0 to 18.0 dB
This parameter sets the amount of gain (or cut) in your Low Shelf.
Menu: (various modes)/Effects/MasterEQ
Parameter: Low Mid Freq
Value Range: 300.00 Hz to 10.00 kHz
This parameter sets the center frequency of your Low-Mid filter.
Note that there are no restrictions on center-frequency selection for the
"Low Mid" and "High Mid" bands so it is possible to set your "Low
Mid" center frequency higher than your "High Mid" frequency (or vise-
versa).

Extreme EQ:
Setting extreme EQ boosts can overload the
Fusion's outputs resulting in nasty
distortion. If you find your output distorting
after you've applied EQ, try turning down
the gain.
