Violet EQ

The VIOLET EQ draws on the SSL legacy of carefully selected frequencies

and response curves to create a musical and intuitive EQ, designed to

let you quickly dial in low-end weight and high-end sheen. The design is

based upon minimum-phase shift shelving ﬁlters. The frequency pots for

each band are stepped. The LOW band offers choices of 30Hz, 50Hz,

70Hz or 90Hz. The HIGH band offers choices of 8kHz, 12kHz, 16kHz and

20kHz. The gain pots are continuous, with indents at the 12 o’clock position

(0dB) and allow for ±9dB of gain. Full mixes tend to beneﬁt from a modest

amount of 30Hz, 50Hz or 70Hz to add weight, whilst 8kHz and 12kHz are

good starting points for adding tasteful amounts of high-end. One of the

most-common practices in production is to mix into an EQ that adds a little

bit of top and bottom-end and with the Violet EQ, you now have an SSL EQ

designed speciﬁcally for that purpose.
