Operation of graphic equalizer
Functions of graphic equalizer
Treble
Original orideal, speaker Actual sound reaching the
sound listener
Compensation for the audio characteristics of
the listening room
The listening room may contain several objects. Some of
them reflect sound and some absorb sound. thus the sound
reaching your ears is considerably affected by these objects.
in such cases, the graphic equalizer can be used to adjust the
frequency response of the room for a flat response from low
to high frequencies.
Low frequencies are absorbed by beds, chairs, etc.
High frequencies are absorbed by curtains, screens, etc.
« The room structure can cause the low frequencies to be
unclear, or the sound level to increase or decrease de-
pending on the frequency.
Adjustment of sound to your individual taste
When the reproduced sound contains several musical instru-
ments and voices, the graphic equalizer allows you to en-
hance or attenuate the sound of specific instruments or
voices.
Sound equalization
¢ Super hass range (50 Hz)
When this control is moved up, the bass instrument
(double bass, bass drums, or pipe organ, etc.) sound is
increased. When the super bass sound is boomy, move
this control down.
¢ Bass range (150 Hz)
Usually, the listening room resonance frequency is in this
range.
To eliminate bass resonance, move this control down.
¢ Milid-bass range (400 Hz)
This range is the basis of music. Whether the sound is rich
or not, depends on this range. When the playback sound
is not so good, move this control up.
¢ Mid range (1 kHz)
When this control is moved up or down, the baritone or
soprano voice is emphasized/de-emphasized. This range
is related to the "presence" of music.
¢ Mid-high range (2.4 kHz)
This range is related to stimulus and metallic sound.
When this range is well compensated, vivid sound can be
obtained.
¢ High range (5 kHz)
This frequency range is related to the hardness of the
sound. when this contro! is moved up, strings or brass
instruments, such as flutes or piccolos, are emphasized.
When the control is moved down, the sound will be more
soothing.
¢ Super high range (15 kHz)
This frequency range is related to the details of the music.
When this control is moved up, super high frequency
instruments, such as triangles or cymbals, are emphasized,
resulting In wide sound and echoes.
