eqx5 is an effective 5-band equalizer for stereo signals. With the eqx5 you get the ability to quickly make adjustments to the frequency content of your stereo audio signals, even with CV.
With musical EQ-curves and voltage-control of all parameters the eqx5 is great for experimental EQ processing. Each of the five bands is able to boost or cut the level by ±12 dB. Adjustments to these bands can make both subtle and dramatic changes to the frequency characteristics of the source audio signal. These adjustments can be useful in many scenarios such as attenuating problematic frequencies, or strategically making “space” in the mix for specific sounds.
The two inputs, L and R are normalled and AC-coupled, they will block DC signals to reduce noise. In addition to the two discrete L and R outputs, the module has a mono output, OUT L+R.
The BALANCE parameter simultaneously and inversely affects the gain of the Left and Right channels. With a stereo signal connected to the inputs, this parameter functions like a Pan control. With two mono signals connected, the OUT L+R mono output functions like a volume crossfader with no perceivable level drop in the center.
The LEVEL parameter is a post-eq volume adjustment, used primarily to compensate for level changes after frequency equalization. A very clever feature is the pseudo-loudness adjustment, which gradually boosts the LOW and HIGH shelving filters as LEVEL is reduced. This helps to retain the signal’s “fullness” as it is attenuated. The LEVEL parameter can also act like a VCA when used in combination with its CV input.
