Description

Shelf/Cut Filters  tailor the upper and lower frequency

ranges of personal in-ear monitors.

A Low-Cut (aka High-Pass) Filter is often used to remove

frequencies below the lower limit of the transducer . Use the
Low-Cut Filter to remove low frequencies that tend to bottom
out less expensive earphones. Judicious use of the Low-Cut
Filter together with the SUB Output and a tactile thumper or
seat shaker can tidy up an in-ear mix considerably.

A High-Cut (aka Low-Pass) Filter is used to remove

frequencies above a particular frequency. You might use the
High-Cut Filter to limit the frequency range to the upper
cutoff of 15 kHz common to many wireless transmitters.

Low- and High-Shelf Filters are similar to the simple bass

and treble tone controls found on most home stereos. Due to
those pesky laws of physics, some in-ear monitors benefit
from a slight boost in the bottom end using the LOW SHELF
filter centered around 100 Hz or so. Similarly, a slight boost
in the 8 kHz to 12 kHz range of the HIGH SHELF filter helps
brighten and add some “air” to the overall mix.
