ITEM:
Individual Input Channel Equalization
Most mixing consoles offer some type of equalization for each channel.
Unless
it is a full parametric type, it can not offer the complete flexability of the
SC-63 or SC-66A.
If your mixer does have a parametric type equalization
section, the SC-63 or SC-66A will add more flexability with a minimum of
expense.
Many mixers have individual channel direct in/out patch points that will
interface with the SC-63 and SC-66A.
If yours does not, a simple modification
can usually be done by a qualified technician.
Use the SC-63 or SC-66A to give instruments,
playing in the same range,
individuality.
(ie;
boost the fundamental
frequencies of one instrument and
the harmonics of the other)
By becoming familiar with the chart on page 20,
guess work will be minimized.
Use the setup suggestions on pages 7 - 9 as a general guide.
ITEM:
Obtaining Better Results From Reverb And Effects Units
By patching an SC-63 or SC-66A right before a reverb or effects unit, you can
minimize high and low frequency loss.
Boost those ranges before they go into
a reverb or effects unit to compensate for losses.
Isolating frequency ranges
that go into an effects unit can also make an effect more pronounced.
APPLICATION AND OPERATION FOR BROADCASTING
ITEM:
Announcer Voice Enhancement
Only full parametric type equalization as offered by the SC-63 and SC-66A can
modify voice frequencies accurately.
Patch in an SC-63 or SC-66A after the voice microphone has been pre-amplified.
Determine the frequency range of the announcers voice (100 Hz to 500 Hz
fundamental, 800 Hz to 2,500 Hz presence area).
Cut frequencies above and
below, and boost fundamentals for warmth, or boost the presence area for
definition.
Experiment
with bandwidth settings to match the exact range of
the announcers voice.
Sibilance problems (8,000 to 12,000 Hz range) can be notched out without
affecting the overall sound.
Use the step by step instructions on page 8 as a
guide.
ITEM:
Record Wear Equalization Correction
After several plays, a record loses its high frequency response.
The SC-63
and SC-66A can be tuned to bring back some of that lost high frequency without
altering frequencies that are still ok.
Use the setup suggestions on page 9
as a guide.
APPLICATION AND OPERATION FOR DISCOTHEQUES
Graphic type equalizers,
while initially easier to operate, can not offer the
unrestricted tone control of the SC-63 and SC-66A.
Old time radio effects,
bass guitar emphasis, frequency selected voice over effects, and modified
speaker
