    8 Opera tion General A dvice Proportional-Q principle Low-, Mid- and High filters operate to the propor tional-Q principle. This means that maximum possible boost and cut is dependant upon the selected bandwidth. If the bandwidth is increased the measure of boost or cut (=amplitude) decreases automatically with the setting of the Cut/Boost control.[...]

The frequency range of the M id filter reaching down to 140 Hz offers a problem-free access to sounds in this range. This means that a snare which operates often around 160 Hz can be processed with the Mid filter , leaving the L ow filter [...]
