■Adjusting the Sound to Achieve the Preferred

Tone Quality (Equalizer)

The KF-7 features a built-in, five-band digital equalizer.

An equalizer boosts or cuts specific sound pitches (frequency ranges) to adjust the sound balance for the overall performance. For example, you can boost the highs to get a crisper sound, or boost the low end for a more powerful sound.

You can also adjust the sound to compensate for the acoustical characteristics of the performance space.

If raising the slider for each frequency ends up distorting the sound, you can correct the distortion with the Master Level slider.

1. Press the [Equalizer] button.

The “Equalizer screen” appears.
