Equalization (EQ)

Equalization is a specialized Þltering process that lets you boost or cut the amplitude of a
speciÞed range of frequencies.

Parametric Equalizer (PARAMETRIC EQ)
This function has three interacting parameters, each with its own control-input page: center
frequency, width, and amplitude. The center frequency is the center of the range of frequencies
that will be boosted or cut by the amplitude setting. The width is the entire range of frequencies
that will be affected by the amplitude setting. For the K2600, the width is deÞned by imagining
an amplitude curve with a level (in dB) of -inÞnity (minus inÞnity) at the center frequency, then
measuring the distance (in octaves) between the points on the curve where the amplitude is
attenuated by 3dB. See the diagram below.
