Use theLow-Cut Filter to remove low frequencies that tend to bottomout less expensive earphones. Judicious use of the Low-Cut Filtertogether with the SUB Output and a tactile thumper or seatshaker can tidy up an in-ear mix considerably.A High-Cut (aka Low-Pass) Filter is used to remove frequen-cies above a particular frequency. You might use the High-CutFilter to limit the frequency range to the upper cutoff of 15 kHzcommon to many wireless transmitters.Low- and High-Shelf Filters are similar to the simple bassand treble tone controls found on most home stereos. Due tothose pesky laws of physics, some personal monitors benefit froma slight boost in the bottom end using the LOW SHELF filtercentered around 100 Hz or so. Similarly, a slight boost in the 8kHz to 12 kHz range of the HIGH SHELF filter helps brightenand add some “air” to the overall mix.Figure .
