Black EQ Equalizer

The Black EQ by Audient features switched frequency, Enhanced Slope high-frequency and low-frequency shelving controls, a switched frequency (1.5kHz/3kHz) Presence/Absence band, and a sweep frequency Lo Mid band. The Lo Mid and Presence/Absence bands can be switched between reciprocal and Constant Q modes to allow either wide band equalization or wide-band boost with narrow-band cut (notching) characteristics.

The Black Equalizer's overtone function adds a low-frequency band-specific harmonic coloration to the signal path, adding definition to the low frequencies while letting the high-end frequencies pass through uncolored and pure. The Glo function adds a side chain compression path to the low-frequency band to dynamically tighten or thicken the bass content. The 3-position Tilt switch provides a subtle change to the tonal balance by gently sloping the overall frequency response. The effect on the tonal balance is to lighten or darken an otherwise well-equalized balance.
