Parametric Microphone Equalizer

The FT-710 includes a unique Three-Band Parametric Microphone Equalizer that provides precise, in-
dependent control over the low, mid and treble ranges in the voice waveform. One group of settings may
be utilized when the AMC or speech processor is Off, and an alternate group of settings when the AMC or
Speech Processor is On (SSB mode only). The speech processor feature is described in the next chapter.
Parametric microphone equalizer function is activated only in LSB, USB, AM, AM-N, FM and FM-N modes.

• Setup the

Parametric Microphone Equalizer
1. Set the RF output power to minimum value.
We recommend connecting a dummy load
to one of the Antenna jacks, and monitoring
the signal on a separate receiver, to prevent
interference to other users.
2. Press the [FUNC] knob.
3. Touch [MIC EQ].
Parametric Microphone Equalizer function is
activated.
● To adjust the Parametric Microphone Equal-
izer with the AMC or speech processor
engaged, activated the AMC or speech pro-
cessor.
4. Press the [FUNC] knob.
5. Touch [MONI LEVEL].
6. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to adjust the Monitor
level.
7. Press the [FUNC] knob.
8. Select [OPERATION SETTING]→[TX AUDIO].
9. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to find Menu items
[PRMTRC EQ1 FREQ] through [PRMTRC
EQ3 BWTH]; these parameters apply to the
adjustment of the Parametric Microphone
Equalizer when the AMC or speech processor
is disabled.
M e n u i t e m s [ P P R M T R C E Q 1 F R E Q ]
through [P PRMTRC EQ3 BWTH] apply to
the adjustment of the Parametric Microphone
Equalizer when the AMC or speech processor
is engaged.
10. Rotate the [FUNC] knob, or touch "<" or ">"
on either side of the value to adjust a particu-
lar Menu item.
11. Press and hold the PTT switch, and speak
into the microphone while listening to the ef-
fect of the adjustments being made. Because
the overall sound will change with each ad-
justment, make several passes through each
42
adjustment area, to be sure that the optimum
settings are achieved.
●The best way to hear the effects of the ad-
justments is to wear headphones (connect-
ed to the monitor receiver) while listening to
the transmitted signal.
12. When all adjustments are satisfactory, press
the [FUNC] knob, or wait for about 3 seconds
to save the setting.
13. Touch [BACK] several times to return to nor-
mal operation.
