3.2.1 EQ modes: SINGLE and MULTI
The equalizer provides Preset push buttons, labeled P1, P2 and P3, with which
preset configurations are stored. The behavior of the push buttons depend on
the selected EQ mode: Single Mode or Multi Mode. After switching on the device,
Single Mode is active.
SINGLE Mode:
In Single Mode, the push buttons P1, P2 and P3 (6) are each permanently
assigned to a frequency band (P1 = HIGH, P2 = MID, P3 = LOW). This means that
a Preset can be assigned to each EQ control. When activated, the Preset push
buttons provide a Kill function with maximum attenuation (- ∞ dB).
Preset settings in SINGLE Mode
P1 HIGH Kill -∞ dB Suppresses high frequencies
P2 MID Kill -∞ dB Suppresses mid frequencies
P3 LOW Kill -∞ dB Suppresses low frequencies

boost you want.

P1 High pass Suppresses MID and LOW
P2 Band pass Suppresses HIGH and LOW
