What is a “dynamic low shelf” filter—and why does the Bass ParaEq have one?
May 26 2025
The Bass ParaEq features a unique dynamic low shelf filter designed specifically for shaping bass frequencies in a musical, intuitive way.
Unlike a traditional low shelf (which boosts or cuts everything below a fixed frequency), the Bass ParaEq’s dynamic low shelf adapts based on how much you boost or cut. The more you turn the knob, the higher the break frequency moves—giving you a broader, more natural contour as you dial it in.
This lets you:
- Gently thicken the low end without getting muddy
- Remove boom without hollowing out your tone
- Shape your lows how they actually sound, not just how they measure on a graph
The result? A smoother, smarter low shelf that feels like it’s responding to your ears—not just your settings.
