Over and above Fusion's Violet EQ, UV EQ takes features further, adding two dedicated mid-bands, with precision Focus mode. They're classic SSL parametric mid-bands capable of the traditional SSL processing techniques but also go far beyond, offering absolute surgical precision all the way to creative 'notch' style filtering and resonant screaming.
Focus mode allows users to hone in on problem frequencies or specific frequencies they want to accentuate or attenuate. Pressing the Focus switch automatically narrows the chosen Q setting further and increases the range of gain available beyond the normal +/-9 dB operation, to a huge +/-18 dB. In true flexible SSL workflow fashion, it transforms this sweet-sounding, musical SSL EQ into a more surgical tool.
HPF & Trim
Remove rumble and tighten up low frequencies, the HPF found on UV EQ brings a world of flexibility when processing low end. The interaction with LF shelving band offers unique ways to sculpt signals and yes, UV EQ is capable of the sought-after boost + cut effect. Dedicated Trim control means you can hit convertors with plenty of headroom or smash into them the perfect amount when clipping is desired.
The EQ Curves
UV-EQ draws on the SSL legacy of a careful selection of frequencies and response curves to create a musical and intuitive EQ designed to quickly dial in the sound of your mix. Take a look at the EQ graphs below and see how UV EQ offers everything from musical strokes and surgical precision to creative filtering and coloration.
