mono signals are completely removed. This represents an extreme setting which should
seldom be needed in practice.
With material which has stereo bass information, or which contains some reverberation, the
effect of raising SPEQ is to increase the sense of spaciousness and depth of the sound. It is
particularly useful on material recorded with panpots, or coincident and semi-coincident
microphone technique.
When most of the bass in a recording is in the sum (mono) channel, raising SPEQ may reduce
the bass level. This effect can be compensated for by raising the overall bass level with BASS.
Since both controls use the same BXVR setting, this compensation will be quite accurate as long
as SPEQ is set to less than 3 dB boost.
TRXVR (Stereo Treble Crossover)
TRXVR sets the crossover point for TREB. When TREB is set to full cut, the level is -3 dB at the
frequency set with TXOV.
TREB+ (Treble EQ)
TREB+ is a 6 dB/octave shelving EQ controls with a range of +6 dB boost and -18dB cut. It
moves in .50 dB steps from +6 to -6 dB. The crossover point is adjusted with TXRXVR. TREB+
acts on both stereo channels equally.
D-EM (De-emphasis)
When D-Em is On, the incoming signal is digitally de-emphasized. This should not be used
unless the material has been emphasized in the record process— such as a PCM-F1 tape.
When digital de-emphasis is applied, the CD mastering lab must be informed that the tape is
not emphasized, and the CD emphasis bit should be manually set to Off. Mastering labs are
happy to do this, but they must be informed!
L/RXVR (Independent Treble Crossover) 0.1 - 26.5kHz
L/RXVR sets the crossover point for LTRB and RTRB. When either is set to full cut, the level
is -3 dB at the frequency set with TRXVR.
0.1 - 26.5kHz
