Хяналтview
- Gain (Inner Knob): Adjusts the boost or cut level for the selected frequency band.
- Frequency (Outer Knob): Selects the center frequency for the equalization band.
- Width (Q) (Small Knob): Controls the bandwidth of the equalization curve. A lower value results in a wider curve, affecting a broader range of frequencies, while a higher value creates a narrower, more precise curve.
- Bell/Shelving Switch (Bass & Treble Bands): Toggles between a bell-shaped curve (affecting frequencies around the center point) and a shelving curve (boosting or cutting all frequencies above/below the selected frequency).
- IN Button: Engages or bypasses the equalizer circuit. When engaged, the LED typically illuminates.
Band Specific Controls
The Midas 512 features four distinct bands:
- Bass Band: Controls frequencies from 20 Hz to 400 Hz. Features a Bell/Shelving switch.
- Lo Mid Band: Controls frequencies from 100 Hz to 2 kHz. This band operates in bell mode only.
- Hi Mid Band: Controls frequencies from 300 Hz to 8 kHz. This band operates in bell mode only.
- Treble Band: Controls frequencies from 1 kHz to 20 kHz. Features a Bell/Shelving switch.
Precision dual concentric controls provide instant access to fully variable gain and frequency settings, allowing for fast and easy setup.
Fully variable bandwidth controls are available on all four bands when in bell mode, offering detailed shaping of the frequency response.
