M-Audio DSM1 manual Setting the High Frequency Shelf EQ, Setting the Mid-Range EQ

EQ Settings

The EQ controls on DSM1 speakers let you ad- just the response of the speaker to match your monitoring environment and studio equip- ment. For EQ frequency graphs for each of these settings, see “Reference Diagrams” on page 18.

Setting the High Frequency Shelf EQ

The HF Shelf EQ lets you compensate for high frequency variations that may be created by source equipment or room acoustics. Start with the HF Shelf EQ setting “flat” (0 dB) as this pro- vides the most natural high-frequency response.

Setting the Mid-Range EQ

The Mid-Range EQ lets you compensate for mid- range resonance or damping that may be cre- ated by speaker placement or room acoustics. It offers a low-Q (wide bandwidth) boost or cut. Start by leaving this switch in the “flat” (0 dB) position, then experiment with different set- tings to see if you like the results.
