USING THE EQUALIZER CONTROLS
COLORING THE REPRODUCED SOUND
All instruments and vocals have their own frequency band,
as shown in the figure.
By moving the controls up or down, the volume of the in-
struments preferred can be boosted or other instruments
can be attenuated.
For instance, it is possible to boost the 60 Hz frequency and
give the bass drum a greater ''punch'"' or boost the 1 kHz
frequency and position the vocals at the front. When the
6 kHz frequency is boosted, the cymbals and 'high hat''
sound much clearer.
Instruments and vocals have a great many harmonic com-
ponents along with the fundamental frequency band and so
you can have lots of fun operating the 7 controls to achieve
the sound of your choice.
NOTE:
In order to protect the speakers from damage resulting from
power overload, do not excessively increase the stereo amp-
lifier's volume level when boosting the treble range on this unit.
(4) RECORDING TECHNIQUES
USING THE
GRAPHIC EQUALIZER
Coloring the sound of vocals or instruments
The sound of vocals and instruments can be colored at will
by operating the controls. For instance, when the 400, 1
k and
2.4 k controls
are raised
and the other controls
lowered, people's voices sound as if heard on a telephone.
Preventing how! during mixing play
Any irritating howl during play can be prevented by lower-
ing the knob corresponding to the frequency band in which
the howl occurs.

Frequency (Hz)
Noise can be reduced during recording and
playback
When the high-range controls are boosted in step fashion
during recording and then lowered in reverse fashion dur-
ing playback, tape hiss and other high-range noise can be
reduced.
Creating recorded tapes most compatible with
the playback equipment
A sound with a greater ''punch'"' can be recorded for play-
back on car stereo equipment if the ultra-low-range, which
is hard to hear, is cut out and the mid-range is boosted.
