Any frequencies outside the cutoff frequency are cut gradually in a downward sloping curve.
A shelf filter is less aggressive, and is useful when you want to shape the overall top end or low
end of the signal without completely removing those frequencies. The shelf filter boosts or cuts
the target frequency and every frequency either above or below it evenly, depending on
whether you use a high shelf or low shelf.
The middle sets of band controls let you make a wide variety of equalization adjustments,
and can be switched between lo-shelf, bell, notch, and hi-shelf filtering options.
Bell:
Bell filters boost or cut frequencies around a given center point of the bell curve,
and as the name suggests the shape of the curve is like a bell.
Notch:
Notch filters allow you to specifically target a very narrow range of frequencies.
For example, removing a mains hum at 50 or 60Hz.
Lo-Shelf:
Low shelf filters boost or cut the target frequency at the low end, and every
frequency below it
Hi-Shelf:
High shelf filters boost or cut the target frequency at the high end, and every
frequency above it
