getting to know your equalizer
Your new equalizer can enhance your sound system in the
following ways:
• Remedy any system suffering from rumble or low
frequency below 30Hz overload by attenuating the
lowermost equalizer controls so that you will not miss
any of the music.
• Eliminate or reduce noise due to scratches on record
surfaces or even the hiss on a tape by bringing down
the control level at 9 kHz. You can even compensate
for the boosted highs on Dolby processed tape or
encoded FM Broadcasts.
• Equalize the tonal quality of broadcast stations if they
attenuate or accentuate either highs or lows.
• Adjust the controls to accommodate high
performance recording tapes that require special
equalization in playback.
• Correct turntable cartridge or speaker inadequacies
for pleasant listening.
• Find the appropriate equalizer control and adjust it up
or down a few dB.
• Adjust the equalizer to accommodate voices or music.
