There are six stored equaliser curves which you
can easily recall. Here is a list of the equaliser
curves:
Equaliser curve

Super Bass is a curve in which only low-range is
boosted.
Powerful (Default)
Powerful is a curve in which low-range and high-
range sounds are boosted.
Natural
Natural is a curve in which low-range and high-range
sounds are slightly boosted.
Vocal
Vocal is a curve in which the mid-range sounds, such
as the human vocal range, are boosted.
Flat
Flat is a flat curve in which nothing is boosted.
Custom1
Custom1 is an adjusted equaliser curve that you cre-
ate. A separate custom curve can be created.
Custom1 and Custom2 are adjusted equaliser curves
that you create. Adjustments can be made with a 3-
band parametric equaliser.

Custom2 is an adjusted equaliser curve that you cre-
ate. If you select this curve, the effect is reflected all
audio source.

Adjusting equaliser curves

You can adjust the currently selected equaliser
curve setting as desired.
• A separate Custom1 curve can be created for
each source. If you make adjustments when a

Vocal, Flat, or Custom1 is selected, the
equaliser curve settings will be memorised in
Custom1.

all sources. If you make adjustments when the
