Characteristics of each frequen-
cy range
The following are examples of typical applications with regards to
the equalizer band settings
These statements ate used in a general manner of speaking and
may not hold true in all cases
Deep bass range
The soundsof the bass,drums,etc. are dramaticallystrengthened.
Bass range
This range provides the sounds of the saxophone, trombone, etc
sounds can be clarified, if indistinct, by reducing this setting.
Mid-bass range (the fundamental range
for music)
This control can be used to reinforce the sounds of male vocals,
etc.
Mid-range
This control can be used to add clear presence and realism to
female vocals, etc
Mid-high rankle
This range provides clarityand color variationsto stringed instru-
ments,etc.
Treble range
This controlcan be used to brightenthe soundsof the flute and
similar instruments.If soundsseem too jarring,a softness can be
appliedby reducingthesetting
Super-treble range
This control can be used provide an extra measure of delicate
vi_atk_ to the sounds of the cymbals, triangle, etc
If tape =hiss" noises are annoying, this control's setting can be
reduced to alleviate such noises
Examples of applications
By using the seven band-level controls, various corrections of the
sound field and tone quality are possible.
f
For creation of a sound field in the listening
room.
Correcting room acoustics
Each room has its own particular effects on frequency character
istics. These effects are determined by a number of conditions,
such as room size, furnishings, etc,
The 7 separate divisions of the band level control on this unit
make it possible to selectively correct only the frequency ranges
necessary to suit the conditions of each listening room.
An example of room acoustics correction
In order to correct the peaks and dips in bass sounds caused by
reflection, reduce the 160 Hz level 4~6 dB and then, raise the
level of sounds below 63 Hz and above 6.3 kHz vicinity slightly,
For editing "live" recordings made on tape, etc.
Cutting the noise from live recording tapes
Live tapes recorded outdoors generally contain popping noises
caused by wind and various other noises from the surrounding
area. In order to effectively eifminate wind noise, cut bass
sounds below 63 Hz and raise the level of sounds in the 400 Hz
range. Then control sounds made by birds, etc., with e 6.3 kHz
adjustment.
r
For creation of unique, individually personal-
ized sounds.
Producing clear vocals
For female vocals, raise the lever of the 1 kHz~2.5 kHz range by
2-4 dB. To rectify omission, raise the level of the 6.3 kHz vicinity
slightly.
Male vocals can be improved by raising the level of the 400
Hz-2.5 kHz range.
Below is an example of a female vocal correction.
