SOLID STATE LOGIC MX4 [11/19] Ssl console eq and filters

The High Mid Frequency section operates over a frequency range of 600Hz -

7 kHz and is capable of ±20dB of gain with a continuously variable Q from 0.5

to 2.5.

Normally, at any Q setting, the bandwidth of the HMF and LMF sections varies

with gain, whereby an increase in boost or cut increases the selectivity of the

EQ.

This type of EQ can sound effective when used at moderate settings; the

gentle Q curve lends itself to the application of overall EQ on combined

sources and subtle corrective adjustments to instruments and vocals.

When the EQ is switched to ʻEʼ operation, the bandwidth of the HMF and LMF

sections remains constant at all gains, so at lower gains the EQ curves are

comparatively narrower for a given Q setting.

This is particularly useful for drums, since relatively high Q is available at low

gain settings.

However, it is not so suitable for overall EQ or subtle corrections, as you need

to adjust the Q to maintain the same effect when the gain is changed.

Filters Section

The ﬁlter section of the SSL Console EQ and Filters plug-in includes a 12dB/

octave low pass ﬁlter and an 18dB/octave high pass ﬁlter.

The low pass ﬁlter operates from 3kHz to 22kHz and the high pass ﬁlter

operates from 20Hz to 500Hz. In addition, each ﬁlter has an OUT position

which bypasses the ﬁlter.

The ﬁlter section can be placed in two different places in the signal chain; post

or pre equaliser. When the INPUT button in the ﬁlter section is pressed, the

ﬁlters are placed before the equaliser section.

When the INPUT button is pressed, the ﬁlters come after the equaliser

section.
