Features high-quality preamp emulations that add subtle harmonic saturation and "glue" to the signal path. LF and HF Shelving:
The "Color" comes from the interaction of bands. If you boost 60 Hz by 6 dB and then boost 8 kHz by 4 dB, the transformer saturation changes non-linearly. In a standard digital EQ, these are independent processes. In Diamond Color EQ 3, the power draw of the low boost slightly starves the high-frequency headroom, creating a dynamic, almost tape-like compression. This is why engineers call it "3D"—it creates depth by mimicking the physical limitations of analog electricity. Acustica Audio Diamond Color EQ 3 -WiN-
