6. Duende EQ and Dynamics Channel Strip
6.1 Introduction
The Duende EQ and Dynamics Channel Strip plug-in is based on the EQ and compressor sections
of the XL 9000 K Series console. SSL were the first manufacturer to feature dynamics and EQ on
every channel on an in-line console with the SL 4000 B Series in 1977. The plug-in includes separate
high and low pass filters, a four band parametric equalizer, an independent compressor/limiter
and gate/expander as well as input and output gain adjustment knobs and a phase invert button.
Let’s have a closer look at each section in detail.
6.2 Input Section
Input Gain: Controls the level of the incoming audio signal
Phase Reverse: Reverses the phase of the incoming input signal
6.3 Filter Section
The Filter Section of the EQ and Dynamics Channel Strip plug-in includes a 12dB/Octave low pass
filter and an 18dB/Octave high pass filter. The low pass filter operates from 3kHz to 22 kHz and
the high pass filter operates from 20Hz to 500Hz. In addition, each filter has an OUT position
which bypasses the filter.
There are three positions where the Filter Section can be placed: after the equalizer, before the
equalizer or in the sidechain of the dynamics section.
