Equalizer (EQ)

An equalizer, or EQ, is a filter that allows you to adjust the volume level of a
frequency or range of frequencies within an audio signal. In its simplest form,
an EQ will let you turn the treble and bass up or down, allowing you to adjust
the coloration of your car stereo or your television. In professional audio circles,
equalization is a highly sophisticated art that can be used to sculpt the tone of
instruments in a mix, counteract anomalies in a room, or just pump up the bass.
Regardless of its application, good equalization is critical to a good sound.
When used correctly, an equalizer can provide the impression of nearness
or distance, "fatten" or "thin" a sound, and help blend or provide separation
between similar sounds in a mix, allowing both to be heard as intended.
Choose between the following preset EQ settings:
• Vocal
Vintage
•
Bass-Boost
•
Mid-Boost
•
Band Pass
•
• Female Vox
Broadcast
•
Keys
•
Electric Guitar
•
Acoustic Guitar
•
Electric Bass
•
Power User Tip: The best way to pick the best EQ setting for your voice is to experiment.
Everybody's voice is unique and because EQs are entirely dependent on the frequency of
the source, your ears are your best tool in finding the right sound for your voice.
Like the Compressor, Revelator io24 offers advanced controls
and several EQ models to choose from when you're ready to dive
deeper. See Section 7.2.5 for Advanced EQ Controls.
