HIGH:
This parameter adjusts the sound of the high band. It
is used to change the brightness or thinness of a
sound. The high-band EQ can be used effectively on
hi-hats, cymbals, etc., and it also used to adjust
sibilance (the harsh "S" sound often present in
vocals).
MID:
This parameter adjusts the sound of the mid band. It
is mainly used to change an instrument's degree of
power or presence, and can be extremely useful when
used on vocals, guitars, saxophones, and other
instruments that play melodies. Human hearing is
most sensitive in this mid-range and the main part of
an instrument's sound is usually found here;
accordingly, the mid-band EQ can be used effectively
on nearly all instruments.
LOW:
This parameter adjusts the sound of the low band. It
can be used to change the degree of punch in bass
guitars, kick drums, and other instruments at the
rhythmic core of a song. Note that low-band EQ has
little effect on brighter instruments such as strings or
cymbals.
The high, mid, low and parameters can also be
adjusted directly using the VALUE1, VALUE2, and
VALUE3 knobs, respectively.
