The Shelf Type button places the resonant peak at (A) the edge of the stop-

(C) at the edge of the stopband and the passband
When a band is in shelf mode, the Q knob sets the resonance of the band.

The range of the Q knob is 0-100% when in shelf mode.

When the Q is at its minimum value, there is no resonant peak. The resonance
increases and becomes more prominent as the Q is increased. Therefore, for
the shelf type to have any effect the Q must be above its minimum value.

Each band can be switched from parametric mode to shelf
mode by clicking the shelf enable button. The button is off
by default. To enable shelving on any band, click the shelf
button.
The button is green when shelving is enabled. Additionally,
the control bat associated with the band has a horizontal
shelf indicator line in the response curve display (see

When a band is in shelf mode and its Q is above the min-
imum value, a resonant peak occurs in the filter response.
The Shelf Type button affects where this resonant peak oc-
curs in relation to the shelf frequency.
Its purpose is to emulate the response curves of classic high-
end analog mixing consoles. It's yet another tool to help
you find the exact sound you are looking for.
