Parametric Equalizer Adjustments; Setting Bass Compressor - Alpine DVA-9861Ri Owner's Manual

Parametric Equalizer Adjustments

The frequency bands of the graphic equalizer are fixed. This makes it
very difficult to correct for undesired peaks and dips at specific
frequencies. The parametric equalizer's centre frequency can be tuned
to these specific frequencies. Then, the bandwidth (Q) and level are
fine-tuned, independently, to make the necessary corrections. The
parametric equalizer function is an advanced tool for serious
audiophiles.

Press and hold TA for at least 2 seconds.
The audio processor control mode is activated.

Select L+R or L/R by pressing and holding BAND for
at least 2 seconds.
L+R: Sets the same adjustment values for the left and right
channels.
L/R: Different adjustment values can be set for the left and
right channels.
When graphic EQ is adjusted, this setting will be turned off.

• When the speaker is set to the "OFF" mode, the parametric
equalizer for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to "Setting the
Speakers" (page 37).
• It is not possible to adjust the frequencies of adjacent bands within 7
steps.
• Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected speakers
before making the equalizer adjustments. If the speaker's playable
frequency range is 55 Hz to 30 kHz, for example, adjusting the 40 Hz
or 20 Hz band has no effect. Additionally, you may overload and
damage the speakers.
• When the parametric EQ is adjusted, the adjustment for graphic EQ
becomes ineffective.
• When the setting is complete, it is recommended to store the setting
contents. For storing, refer to page 44.
