Bakelite knobs and toggle switches complete its refreshed, vintage-inspired front panel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThree-Band Baxandall EQ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Baxandall-based design delivers broad, smooth curves for balancing complete mixes, stems and individual sources. Each band offers six frequency choices and boost or cut settings of 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 dB in either direction. These stepped settings support subtle mastering adjustments and accurate session recall.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe low band covers 28, 48, 72, 132, 195 and 255 Hz for shaping sub-bass, weight and warmth. The mid band offers 400, 630 and 870 Hz alongside 1.3, 2.4 and 4.8 kHz for adjusting body, definition and presence. The high band provides 4, 7.2, 12, 16, 20 and 25 kHz for controlling brightness and air. A Q of 0.5 supports broad tonal adjustments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSwitchable Peak and Shelving Modes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe low and high bands each offer peak and shelving modes. Shelving adjusts the overall bass or treble balance, while peak mode concentrates the adjustment around the selected frequency. This flexibility supports both broad tonal changes and more targeted shaping within the EQ’s musical response.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwelve-Frequency High-Pass Filter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe high-pass filter offers 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 Hz settings, with a ×5 multiplier extending these choices to 100, 125, 150, 175, 200 and 225 Hz.
