“graphic equalizer.” The GEQ offers three bands per octave for a total of 30 bands, similar to the hardware devices commonly used in live sound reinforcement systems. GEQ includes a faders array as well as parametric graph, plus a real-time analyzer with flexible routing. - Page 5 Flat-Top Filters The GEQ Modern component utilizes special Flat-Top filters which eliminate the artifacts associated with band interaction, and provide perfect plateau and stair-stepped responses. Thus, boosting a set of consecutive bands by 6 dB will result in a 6 dB boost plane, without additional boost due to band interaction.
