Transparent EQ for Mastering: No Phase Smearing or Coloration
Standard EQs delay some frequencies, which produces phase shifts. This can be a problem when mastering or when mixing multi-miked groups. EQ can exaggerate phase shifts caused by using multiple mics on instruments. And with parallel processing, equalizing one path can change its phase compared to the other.
For scenarios where phase is critical—especially mastering—Waves’ Linear Phase EQ is the answer. It’s transparent, free of smearing, and can handle a wide variety of crucial equalization tasks.
