Page 3 - Cross-over Menu
Press MENU keys to enter the Cross-over
frequency page (Xovr)
Cross-over point 1-4
Cross-over frequencies may be altered on the last page of the
Expander, Compressor and Limiter, but they are identical in all
three blocks.
Two different filter structures are available:
- SYM with soft slopes
- MID with higher order middle band focused filter slopes.
The MID setting is designed specifically for low intermodulation
between the bands, but if you want to emulate the TC Finalizer,
you should use a 3-band structure and a SYM slope setting.
Number of Bands
On the Cross-over page, outer bands may be turned off by
turning the cross-over points all the way up or down.
When a structure of less than 5 bands is used, the bands are also
removed from the graphic display.
Slope Types
Two different filter structures are available. SYM with soft slopes
and MID with higher order middle band focused filter slopes.
Cross-over frequency
Sets the Cross-over frequency for the selected Cross-over point.
Cross-over point
With Cross-over points 1-4 you set the Cross-over points
between the five bands in the dynamics section.
Note: The Cross-over points are common for the Compressor,
Limiter and Expander.
