 +From what I can work out, the "bandwidth" settings of the EQ refer to Q - the smaller the number the lower the Q and the wider the affected bandwidth. I'm aiming for gentle shaping of the voice band to cut the low-end boomy bass and lift the high end "articulation" so I've set a low-Q on each pole of the EQ filter. I've set both the non-Compression and the Compression EQ settings to the same values - I want the audio to sound the same with and without the processor. The Mic's rear "tone" switch can be used to give a slight increase in low frequencies by switching -> 1 if I ever feel the need.
