Equalizer

The equalizer can be used to adjust the basic spectral behaviour of the reverberated signal. The equalizer section consists of a low shelving filter and a high shelving filter that are very much like the LOW/HIGH EQ filters that you can find in mixer channels. Both shelving filters have a gentle slope in order to let the equalizer sound natural. The equalizer setting is also visualized in the equalizer display. Center frequencies are marked using orange dots.

HIGH CENTER

The HIGH SHELF CENTER knob controls the midpoint frequency of the high shelf filter. It is adjustable between 1000 Hz and 21 kHz.

HIGH GAIN

Using the HIGH SHELF GAIN knob, the high shelving gain can be set between -24 dB and +12 dB.

LOW CENTER

The midpoint frequency of the low shelf filter can be adjusted using the LOW SHELF CENTER knob. Its range is 10 Hz up to 1500 Hz.

LOW GAIN

The gain of the low shelving filter can be adjusted using the LOW SHELF GAIN knob between -24 dB and +12 dB.

USAGE

A good starting point for designing your own reverb programs is to first disable the low shelf filter by setting LOW SHELF GAIN to 0dB, and to reduce high frequencies by setting HIGH SHELF GAIN to around -12dB and HIGH SHELF CENTER to around 8 kHz.

Depending on your sound material, you might notice that low frequencies tend to get emphasized a little bit. You can compensate for this by carefully reducing low frequencies, for example, set LOW SHELF CENTER to 100 Hz and LOW SHELF GAIN to -4 dB.

The Equalizer section of Reverb.it is sufficient for controlling the spectral balance of the reverberated signal in many situations. Sometimes, however, you need more control. To this end, Reverb.it is equipped with two damping units that control the dynamic spectral balance of the signal. These units can be switched on/off individually. See the Damping page for details.
