McDSP AE400 Active EQ HD v7 combines fixed tonal shaping with signal-responsive equalization across four fully overlapping bands. Each band offers independent bandwidth, fixed gain and active gain controls, letting you shape a track’s overall balance while addressing frequencies that become prominent only at certain moments. Threshold, attack, release and ratio settings govern how the active EQ reacts, with either the input or a selected sidechain signal providing the trigger. Selectable key filtering and key-signal monitoring help focus that response, making AE400 useful for managing changing tonal problems in music mixes, post-production and live sound. Interactive response-plot editing, real-time analyzers and per-band bypass support precise adjustments. Mono and stereo versions accommodate different track formats. This HD edition is intended for AAX DSP users, particularly producers and engineers who want detailed control over both static EQ curves and level-dependent tonal changes.
