PRODUCTS Midas Parametric Equaliser 512 Midas has released the Parametric Equaliser 512, a compact 500 Series four-band fully parametric equalizer based on the channel strip originally provided in the Midas Heritage 3000 mixing console. A parametric equalizer allows the operator to address multiple parameters with precision when applying filters to an audio signal. A specific frequency can be cut or boosted by an exact amount across an adjustable bandwidth, enabling fine tuning of the filter to reduce the gain at frequencies that are prone to feedback or remove undesirable tonal qualities and their overtones. Conversely, the ability to boost the gain at certain frequencies provides the ideal way to add punch to bass and kick drum signals or add presence to vocal or solo instrument tonalities. The Parametric Equaliser 512 utilizes four overlapping frequency bands to finely craft professional-grade output signals, both in the studio and during live performance.
