Topic: Recreate the Loudness Filter with the analog input's EQ

Hello,

I'd like to know if it's possible to approximate the curves of the loudness filter with the equalizer on the analog input? I understand it cannot mimic the dynamic behavior but I'd just like to know the necessary freq, Q and maximum dBs in order to arrive at a rough copy. Reason I'm interested in doing this is to balance the perceived loudness of some archived records when listing on phone or DJing.

Thanks!

It's all in the manual!

Looking at the graph, the eq points seem to be 50hz and 5khz?

What would their Qs be?

Thanks again!

Well, it's not all in the manual! I really thought the values are listed in detail. Here they are:

Treble boost is F 3.5 kHz  with Q 0.7

Bass boost is F 70 Hz with Q 0.7

Both Shelf, of course.
