MEC frequency ranges?

[Son of Bovril]

can anyone tell me if the bass and treble adjustments on the MEC 3 Band are notch/shelving frequency adjustments?

ie. if you boost the bass (centred at 100hz) are you boosting all the frequencies below as well or only within a specified Q range?

 

[Son of Bovril]

bass:100hz
middle:800hz
treble:8.5hz

Thanx woody

It's not the centre frequencies I'm looking for though... it's whether or not they are shelving or notch filters...

You boost a specified Q range.

anyone know the frequence settings on a 2-band from the early 90's?

 

[Florin]

It should be 100 and 2500 Hz, with wide Q. I don't think they are different than today

cool, thanx Florin

I'd say the simplest way to think of that set up [which I have 2 of, and this works] is not as "Bass & Treble" but as "Bass Boost/Cut & Tone Control". IOW, it's similar to a single tone knob [aka 'treble'] with an added booty boost/cut [aka 'bass'].

Interesting way of looking at it!

Very insteresting indeed.

Thanks for that insight, Golem!
