GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION
With most common Equalizers, correcting gain imbalances in program material will result
in subtle yet undesirable changes to the spectral balance of the rest of the audio
material. Dynamic EQ for PowerCore is no such equalizer. Utilizing 48-Bit phase-linear
processing, Dynamic EQ for PowerCore delivers the most accurate and flexible
equalization possible, without compromise.
Dynamic EQ offers up to four definable bands, which can work in static or dynamic
mode, or even a combination of both. Each of the bands can be configured as a
parametric EQ or hi/low shelving filter.
The Sidechain bands can be unlinked from the processing bands, so the high frequency
content of a mix can control the low-end and vice versa. The processing of this plug-in is
all in 48-bit double precision and may even be used in a Linear phase mode for much
more transparent results.
Dynamic EQ represents a new generation of mastering tools for the PowerCore platform.
This virtual processor eliminates the shortcomings of static EQ by providing a marriage
between dynamics processing and EQ.

• Better control over dynamic signals and “critical” material
• Multiple Frequency bands can be controlled independently
• With linear phase mode, the typical coloration of sound caused by phase effects
introduced by normal EQs can be prevented. This is especially interesting for
mastering purposes since the original sound character of the processed material can
be maintained.
• Changes in EQ and signal dynamics at the EQ’d frequency can be created which are
triggered either above or below the individual threshold levels in four adjustable
frequency bands.

If you are using a host application that supports this feature, all parameters support
scrolling on both Windows XP and Mac OS X. Simply place the mouse over a parameter
value field and use the Scroll Wheel to increment/decrement the associated parametervalue.
