RX Equalizer

This function allows the sound quality to be altered by adjusting
the characteristics of the RX frequency. 6 types of RX equalizer
are available, which can be configured separately for each mode.
A set of equalizer characteristics can be configured freely for each
of the options between "User 1" and "User 3".

Turning ON/OFF RX Equalizer

Press F [RX EQ].
Pressing F [RX EQ] each time toggles the RX equalizer
between ON and OFF.

Selecting an RX Equalizer Characteristic

1 Press and hold F [RX EQ] to display the RX
Equalizer configuration screen.
.
2 Press F2[ ] / F3[
control to select an equalizer characteristic.
The selected equalizer characteristic turns on.
Characteristic
Boosts the high frequency component. This is
High Boost 1 (HB1) effective for audio sound that contains a low
frequency component.
Boosts the high frequency component. The low
High Boost 2 (HB2) frequency attenuation level for this option is half
of that of the High Boost 1 option.
This option attenuates frequency components
Formant Pass (FP) that is outside the audio bandwidth so that the
audio can be heard more clearly.
Boosts the low frequency component. This is
Bass Boost 1 (BB1) effective for audio sound that contains a high
frequency component.
Boosts the low frequency component. The low
Bass Boost 2 (BB2) frequency is further boosted compared to Bass
Boost 1.
Flat (FLAT) This option has a flat frequency response.
User 1 (U1) Frequency characteristics can be adjusted
according to the user's preferences and stored
User 2 (U2)
in the options between User 1 and User 3. The
flat frequency characteristic is selected in the
User 3 (U3)
default setting.

When the RX DSP equalizer is set to ON, the effect
●
("HB1"/ "HB2"/ "FP"/ "BB1"/ "BB2"/ "FLAT"/ "U1"/ "U2"/
"U3") is displayed at the lower end of the key guide.
When the RX DSP equalizer is OFF, "OFF" is displayed
●
at the lower end of the key guide.

Adjusting the Equalizer Characteristics

The equalizer characteristics can be customized according to the
user's preferences. Also, the customized characteristics can be
stored as user-defined settings.
1 Press and hold F [RX EQ] to display the RX
Equalizer configuration screen.
2 Select an equalizer characteristic.
3 Press F4 [ADJ] to display the RX Equalizer
Adjustment screen.
.
4 Press F3[ ] / F4[
adjust.
5 Press F5 [–]/ F6 [+] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control
to adjust the frequency level.
• Touching a point on the RX Equalizer Adjustment screen
selects the corresponding band and changes the frequency
to the selected level.
An alternative way is to touch a rough point followed by fine-
tuning in steps 3 and 4.
• Pressing and holding F2 [(RESET)] resets all the frequency
levels to the default setting.
6 Press and hold F [RX EQ] or press [ESC] to end the
process.
Besides the User 1 to User 3 options, the equalizer
●
characteristics of the other options can also be altered
on the RX Equalizer Adjustment screen.
If the configured level of the RX DSP equalizer deviates
●
from the configured level of the adjacent frequency, the
desired amount of attenuation may not be obtained.
