11.1.4 HighP = High Pass Filter<br />
This example shows different high pass filters which are characterised by varying Q factors.<br />

The resulting filter Q = 0.707 is a 2nd order Butterworth filter and causes attenuation of<br />
3 dB at the cut-off frequency (-3dB @ 1000Hz). Below the cut-off frequency, there is an<br />
attenuation of 12 dB per octave (-12dB/octave).<br />
A Q higher than 1 causes a level increase at the crossover frequency.<br />

You can choose between a high pass filter 1st or 2nd order. The Q of a 1st order high pass<br />
filter is always fixed. At a 2nd order high pass filter Q is adjustable in steps of 0.001 from 0.2<br />
to 20.<br />
The parameter 'Gain' has no effect with the high pass filters.<br />
11.1.5 LowP = Low Pass Filter<br />
This example shows various low pass filters at 1000Hz, which are characterised by different<br />
Q-factors. The resulting filter with Q = 0.707 is a 2nd order Butterworth filter and causes an<br />
attenuation of 3dB at the cut-off frequency (-3dB@1000Hz). Above the cut-off frequency,<br />
there is an attenuation of 12dB per octave (-12dB/octave).<br />
