A transparent ten-band equalizer with FFT-based precision, offering per-band phase control and flexible filters for detailed spectral shaping without compromising audio quality.
Purpose
Designed as a high-end equalizer, LP10 focuses on precise frequency and phase adjustment. Its FFT engine provides a smooth response across the audible range, with high frequency resolution. You get ten bands, each with selectable phase behavior—minimum, linear, or inverse minimum—allowing you to tailor the phase shift per band.
This goes beyond typical EQ capabilities, making it suitable for mastering or critical mixing where phase alignment matters. The flexible filters further extend control by letting you vary the slope continuously. The built-in spectrum analyzer supports your ear by visualizing the audio spectrum before or after processing.
Key Capabilities
LP10 offers a double-precision audio engine to maintain fidelity during heavy processing. Each of the ten bands can operate with a unique phase response, giving you unprecedented control over how frequencies interact. The flex filters adjust from gentle slopes to steep ones, accommodating both subtle cuts and aggressive surgical moves.
True stereo operation is available in L/R or M/S mode, enabling mid-side processing for widening or balancing. A stereo width control further shapes the spatial image. An A/B state lets you quickly compare settings, streamlining your workflow. These features combine to deliver a versatile EQ that adapts to many professional tasks.
Workflow
Begin by engaging the spectrum analyzer to identify problem areas or target frequencies. Set each band’s frequency and gain, then choose the phase mode—linear for maintaining transient alignment, minimum for analog-style phase shift, or inverse minimum for creative differences. Adjust the slope to suit the material, from broad shaping to precise notches.
Use M/S mode to process the center and sides independently, such as narrowing stereo width on low-end or expanding on highs. The stereo width control helps achieve a desired spatial balance. Compare your changes with the A/B state to ensure the result improves on the original. This workflow suits mastering engineers who need detailed control.
Applications
LP10 excels in mastering, where phase accuracy and transparent tone shaping are critical. Its flexible slopes are ideal for corrective EQ on problematic resonances or for creative spectral enhancement. The M/S mode makes it a strong tool for widening or focusing a mix, while linear phase ensures no unwanted phase shift in complex material.
In mixing, use it on buses or individual tracks requiring surgical precision, like vocals needing subtle high-frequency air or drums needing tight low-end control. The inverse minimum phase option offers unique character for artistic sound design. With its high resolution, LP10 suits high-resolution audio projects demanding pristine quality.
