  • Page 4: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The 1971 offers 2 channels of fully featured 4-band parametric EQ. It has the ability to perform subtle shaping for mastering purposes that require a delicate touch and easy recall, but is just as capable of tonal sculpting, adding the analogue warmth and character that is near impossible to emulate in the digital domain.
  • Page 5 Very few analogue parametric equalisers have an adjustable slope on the low and high band filters, and is yet another feature of the 1971 that allows you to take control of your audio. The filter slopes of the 1971 have been chosen for their musicality - allowing you to adjust the focus of the audio at the bottom and top ends of your recording but not so harsh as to be a very noticeable brick wall filter.

  • Page 6: Installation

    INSTALLATION The 1971 is designed for standard 19” rack mounting and occupies 2U of rack space. Fibre or plastic washers may be used to prevent the front panel becoming marked by the mounting bolts. - Care should be taken in the choice of positioning. The unit should not be mounted where other equipment obstructs the normal air flow.

  • Page 7: Audio Connections

    A typical setup for connecting the 1971 would be by the use of a Y-lead between the two input and output xlr’s on the rear of the 1971 and insert point for the respective channel of the desk or interface for the digital workstation - this would be repeated for both channels.

  • Page 9 EQ band. On the 1971 the width of the effected signal is measured as Bandwidth (as opposed to ‘Q’, which it is inversely related to) and on the Low-Mid and High-Mid bands are fully parametric (as opposed to semi, quasi or fixed that you may find on other eq’s) meaning that the bandwidths are fully...

    A narrow bandwidth is used to remove unwanted frequency noise (see ‘Sweep it Up’ below), in addition, when the 1971 is being used in boost mode, it can also be used to emphasize specific instruments with a narrow frequency range such as the hit of bass drums or hi-hats, for example, but care must be taken not to use so much Boost so as...
  • Page 11 A great way to improve your audio so that instruments sit better in the mix is by removing any unnecessary frequencies using the Low Cut and High Cut filters. The 1971 is the perfect tool for this because it has fully variable low and high cut filters and also variable slope, allowing you to tune in to precise frequencies.
