Parametric Equalizer Module - Mackie Spike User Manual

Parametric Equalizer Module

The Parametric Equalizer provides four bands
of equalization, with controls to adjust the gain,
center frequency, and quality factor (Q) for each
band.
Note: EQ is rather like makeup: use it
wisely and tastefully for a subtle and
pleasing effect. Do not overdo it.
Nodes 1, 2, 3, and 4
In the graph display, there are four small node
circles, labeled 1 to 4. You can either use these
grab-points to adjust the bands, or use the sliders
below.
• Left-click on a node and drag your mouse to
adjust the frequency and gain; Q remains con-
stant.
• Right-click on a node and drag your mouse to
adjust the gain and Q; frequency remains con-
stant.
IN 1-4 buttons
Use these buttons to turn each band on or off.
The numbers correspond to the nodes in the
