* **High/Low Shelf EQ**: This slider sets the crossover frequencies of the
mixing EQ. It controls which frequency range is affected by the low, mid, and
high channel EQ knobs. By default the low knob controls the bass and sub bass
range up to 246 Hz. The mid knob controls the mid range up to 2.5 kHz.
The remaining treble range is controlled by the high knob.

* **EQ Buttons Mode**: Here you can select the behaviour of the buttons that are next to each EQ knob.

When :guilabel:`Kill` is selected (the default value) the buttons act like :term:`kills <kill switch>`.
When the buttons are ON that frequency range will be fully attenuated.

When :guilabel:`Bypass` is selected the buttons disable the EQ on that frequency range.
When the buttons are ON that frequency range won't be altered, regardless of the position of the corresponding EQ knob.

* **Master EQ**: This section allows you to setup an EQ that affects the master
output.
