5.1The Frequency Range of music Instruments

Please look at the following table. It gives you an idea of the frequency coverage of the main musical instru- ments and the human voice. Select a specific instrument and start to "play" with your LTO-Q applying the five bands available on the covered frequencies. Adjust GAIN first and then FREQUENCY and finally Q.

See how much control your LTO-Q will give you allowing a perfect contour of your sound.
