The Weiss EQ1-DYN-LP Equalizer incorporates dynamic and linear phase EQ Programs in one unit. With exclusive digital inputs/outputs and working at up to 24 Bit/96 kHz, the EQ1-DYN-LP is the reference equalizer when it comes to digital mastering EQs.
The Weiss EQ1-DYN-LP Equalizer is designed to let you make the most of both the Dynamic and the Linear Phase EQ programs. After power-up of the Weiss EQ1-DYN-LP Equalizer, the user can chose between Dynamic (DYN) and Linear Phase (LP) modes. The workspace storage, the snapshots and the snapshot backups are fully independent between the DYN and LP parts of the Weiss EQ1-DYN-LP Equalizer. This means that all setup data are retained in any case.
EQ1-DYN
The Weiss EQ1-DYN features four freely adjustable dynamic bands, and additionally three linear bands per channel. Setting up the dynamic bands is as easy as setting a linear band. There is just one additional parameter to be adjusted by the user, the threshold control. This makes multi-band dynamic control as easy and as versatile as adjusting a parametric equalizer. The Weiss EQ1-DYN can be used as a de-esser or to give the bass an extra punch etc..
Bands 1, 2, 5 and 6 are the dynamic bands (each individually switchable to linear) and bands 3, 4 and 7 are ordinary linear bands. A dynamic band operates similar to a compressor, with two additional features:
1) The band is sensitive to signal level in its frequency range only. So when applying dynamic bass EQ, only the bass-band of the program affects the dynamic behavior. There is no cross-modulation from other bands.
2) The gain is only applied to certain frequencies, and not across the whole audio band.
3) Other modes (low-cut, high-cut, low-shelving, high-shelving) are linear (no automatic boost/cut adjustment), and behave exactly the same as in the Weiss EQ1-MK2 Equalizer.
The reason for choosing exactly bands 1, 2, 5 and 6 is the following: As the name implies, a dynamic band is sensitive to the level of the input signal. Sometimes it is desirable to first add some EQ, and afterwards dynamically add some more. Or vice versa, first do some dynamic corrections and afterwards add overall EQ, including in the corrected band. Because the EQ bands are connected in series, this is only possible if there are linear bands before and after the dynamic bands.
EQ1-LP
The Weiss EQ1-LP has the same parameter set and features as the Weiss EQ1-MK2. In addition it can be switched between minimum and linear phase behavior. Linear phase
