Each module has 2 signal paths and are equipped with 6 bands of EQ, 4 band parametric on the mic/line inputs and 2 band shelving on the monitor inputs. It is possible to move the 2 parametric mid band section from the mic/line path and place them into the monitor path. The Jade is equipped with the Soundtracs FDB EQ which offers up to 20db boost & cut at the extreme ends of the audio spectrum. Unlike most studio consoles it is possible to place the EQ into the group output signal paths.
