I guess I'm not asking the question correctly. I guess what I'm asking is
how would you determine where the corner points are? For example if I have
my high shelf or my low shelf set to a particular frequency, how do I figure
out which frequencies are the high and which one is the low? I'm assuming
that the frequency I'm on would be the center? 

May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and
mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

in terms of an EQ band, the corner points are where things are plus or minus
3dB.
