About Element EQ: Equalization is available
for all audio sources, and can be pre-defined
or adjusted on-the-fly. Our EQ model is three-
band quasi-parametric. Controls are provided
for center frequency and boost/cut, with a
unique SmartQ™ automatic bandwidth system.
SmartQ works by varying the Q of the selected
parametric band proportional to the amount of
boost or cut you specify. A small amount of boost
or cut will affect a broader range of frequencies
for a warm, musically-pleasing effect. As gain is
increased the Q sharpens, affecting a narrower

range of frequencies for tighter control of target
bands. At aggressive cut levels, the EQ becomes a
tunable notch filter. SmartQ keeps the EQ sound-
ing natural at virtually all settings.
Pre-defined EQ can be entered during Source
Profile construction, and will be automati-
cally applied whenever that source is assigned
to a Element fader; i.e., a -2 dB 12 kHz high
shelf filter pre-set in a microphone's Source
Profile will be applied when any surface, in
any studio, loads that mic for use.
At-will EQ is set by talent using Element's Chan-
nel Options controls, and can be employed to
