APPLICATIONS
e
Reduction of Tape Hiss
:
Because tape hiss is in the high frequency range, it can be
easily reduced by setting the 4 kHz to 16 kHz control levers
at +4 dB during recording, and lowering them to —4 dB
during playback. This will bring the frequency response
back to "'O'' but with the hiss eliminated!

e. Compensation for room acoustics
Speaker characteristics, type and location of feat: wall
materials, rugs, curtains, and other physical conditions all
affect the tonal response of the listening room. By adjusting
the equalizer levels for both channels it is possible to com-
pensate for these factors and greatly improve the sound,
e
Emphasizing preferred frequencies
The GE-3 gives you tremendous flexibility in adjusting the
speaker sound to achieve the tone and coloration of music
that you prefer. If you like bass, set the low frequency levels
higher for more presence. If you like more vocal definition,
the middle frequencies wil! provide the sound you prefer.
And if you like overall clarity and brightness, high fre-
quency levels can be adjusted accordingly. In short, y ou can
. tailor your system to produce the sound you prefer under.
all listening conditions.
.€
Better sound from your car stereo
Car stereo systems tend to emphasize the midranges at the
expense of the lowest and highest frequencies. With the
GE-3 you can adjust the bass and treble levels accordingly
to make your car stereo sound the best it ever has.
