In Reply to: Tone Controls... posted by NephilimSurfer on June 3, 2002 at 16:51:10:
Most all analog tone controls use the Baxandall topology and feedback arrangement, and are flat when centered, and there is boost, and there is cut. 12 o'clock would then be the flat minimum effect position.However, digital tone controls work any number of ways, and it is quite possible that they might actually be set up to cut the rest of the spectrum when set to "boost" that particular region. In order to keep the overall level from dropping when a "boost" in engaged (which would behave quite counter intuitively), then the entire EQ'd signal would have to be "boosted" or digitally gain altered.
Even for this scenario, the signal would be subject to multiple digital manipulations, and these are not all necessarily benign or audibly transparent. So once again, the nominal, flat or center range position would be the least likely to engage extra signal processing/alterations.
Not all, but some digital EQ, goes a little wacko when taken to the the full boost or cut region. Poor processing algorithms, lack of digital headroom, etc. are responsible.
