Waves Linear Phase EQ

Description

paragraph: Standard EQs delay some frequencies, which produces phase shifts. This can be a problem when mastering or when mixing multi-miked groups. EQ can exaggerate phase shifts caused by using multiple mics on instruments. And with parallel processing, equalizing one path can change its phase compared to the other.

,
paragraph: For scenarios where phase is critical—especially mastering—Waves’ Linear Phase EQ is the answer. It’s transparent, free of smearing, and can handle a wide variety of crucial equalization tasks.

,
heading: Choose Your Transparency,
paragraph: The Broadband version includes a special lowband stage and 5 parametric EQ stages, while the Lowband component’s 3 parametric stages cover 11 Hz to 602 Hz, with the precision of 11 Hz resolution.

,
heading: Choose Your EQ Shape,
paragraph: Sculpt your ideal response with low shelf, low pass, high shelf, and high pass shapes for every stage—each with a choice of “analog” or “digital” slope characteristics. The ninth shape is a variable-width bell.

,
heading: Shape the Low Frequencies with Precision,
paragraph: The Lowband component’s design, and Q factor, extract the accurate fullness of bass frequencies down to 11 Hz. 3 low-frequency parametric stages have 5 filter types—low cut, low shelf, bell, high shelf, and high cut.

heading: Mastery for Mastering,
paragraph: Linear-phase EQ’s accuracy and uncolored character have made it a favorite for critical mastering applications. Choose a 12 dB display range to see settings in more detail, or 30 dB for a broad overview of all possible settings.
