3.2. Understanding the EQ SITRAL-295 Signal Flow
The EQ SITRAL-295 is an EQ effect plug-in specially tailored for bus tasks. As we stated in
the Introduction, bus effects tend to be a little more complex (both in functionalities as well
as in their inner workings) than their channel counterparts. It is not the case with this EQ.
Being inspired by classic units of the seventies, it keeps the simplicity of those units. As a
consequence, although its musicality makes it suitable for bus processing, it is simple to
operate and understand, and you can (and probably should) also use it in regular audio
channels. This isn't an EQ for surgical tasks, but rather for overall sound sculpting.
Let's take a look at the inside to understand a little more about EQ SITRAL-295:
The EQ SITRAL-295 signal flow is very straightforward. When the audio signal enters the
unit, it is directed through a first stage, with several switches that may change the way the
audio circuit will work.
These are the switches on the right-hand side of the control panel: the "Charakter" switch, a
range of three switches, (M/S, Auto Gain and Link), and the Range selector. We will see what
these do in the next chapters.
After that stage, the audio enters the circuit and then is directed through the High Pass Filter,
Low Shelf, Presence bell, High Shelf, and finally the Low Pass Filter, serially.
Each band and filter performs its own processing, and the final result is then routed to the
final gain stage, where the Output knob will dtermine the final gain of the plug-in.
And that's it. This is the complete signal flow of the EQ SITRAL-295. It is simple, but
nevertheless very powerful. Study the circuit carefully, spend some time with the controls
of each band, try the different switches, and we're sure you'll fall in love with this unit and
enjoy its incredible power. The following section will definitely help you with this.
