To create the C6, Waves took all the functions of the C4, and then added two additional floating bands plus a sidechain feature, for one-stop vocal and instrument shaping. The C6 lets users zero in on problem frequencies with "surgical precision". With four crossover bands plus two additional floating bands and a flexible sidechain feature, the C6 offers a solution for vocal and instrument shaping, offering de-essing, de-popping, feedback management and more, giving users "all the multiband compression and dynamic equalization they need to control, tame and shape their sound".
For live sound, the C6 provides total control over dynamics and EQ, from feedback management to in-depth vocal shaping. For auto-ducking of music and ambience under speech in a post production setting, the C6 sidechain lets users carve out just the vocal frequency range, instead of attenuating the entire signal.
FOH Engineer and Waves Live Division product specialist Ken 'Pooch' Van Druten states, "The ability to have six bands of fully sweepable dynamic EQ on the mix bus makes the C6 an all-important tool for live sound engineers. By itself, it does the work of two or three different plugs that I used to use."
