The Z Systems Q6 is the first multi-channel digital equalizer which was designed from the ground up for the particular needs of surround mastering engineers. Z Systems began with the expertise derived from developing the z-Q2 two-channel digital parametric digital equalizer, retaining the core algorithms that were the source of its phenomenal sound. Then Z Systems added the functionality and features needed for surround-sound mastering, such as channel grouping, channel level offsets, and master volume control. The z-Q6 is implemented entirely in floating-point and currently supports up to 96 kHz at 24bits, with an upgrade to 192 kHz soon on the way. Each channel features four bell filters and two shelving filters also provides several options for wordlength reduction to 16 or 20 bits, including the critically acclaimed POW-ralgorithm. Furthermore, the unit can operate at different sampling rates and wordwidths in different channel groups to allow for the complex needs of DVD-A mastering. The z-Q6 is also endowed with MIDI program change capability and can use MIDI SysEx in order to store and recall banks of presets. The z-Q6 is far more than three stereo EQs lumped into a single package. It was developed in conjunction with some of the world’s top surround-sound mastering engineers, incorporating many of these engineers’ suggestions regarding the functions and ergonomics they need in order to do serious multi-channel mastering. You, too will find that the z-Q6 not only sounds wonderful, but that it also works the way you need it to.
