4.2.2.6. Range Control
This knob controls the amount of gain change applied to all active EQ bands. This feature
allows the global tonal adjustment of the processed track.
Range 1 means that the EQ boost and cut are applied at 100% (default value);
Range 0.5 means that the EQ boost and cut are applied at 50%;
Ranges 0.75 and 0.25 change the percentage in the exact same way, according to their
values;
The range values are predetermined by default (0; 0.25; 0.5; 0.75; 1) but you can choose
any value between 0 and 1 when 'Stepped Controls' is inactive.

This control has no effect on the Low Pass and High Pass filters.
4.2.2.7. Charakter switch
This controls the way sound is "colored" by the EQ. It is a very important feature. The
SITRAL-295 equalizer being inspired by vintage electronic units, it induces some coloration
of the sound. This is a natural coloration, due to THD (Trans-Harmonic Distortion, caused
by the electric components). When distortion is harmonic-related (follows the natural
harmonics of the sound), it is well received by our ears, and even desirable. Harmonic
distortion has to reach very high levels to be considered unpleasant. It also contributes to a
fuller and richer sound.
With this switch, you have two options. One is the emulation of the natural THD behavior of
the original vintage EQ units. The other is a slightly different variation of the same behavior,
which saturates the low frequencies more when they are at a high level.
By default, the switch is positioned in the original behavior position.
