Adjusting the Level of the Sound’s Low and High-Frequency Ranges (EQUALIZER)

The RD-300SX is equipped with a two-band equalizer.

You can adjust the levels of the low-frequency and high-frequency ranges using the EQUALIZER [LOW] and [HIGH] knobs, respectively.

fig.01-26

Turn the EQUALIZER knobs to adjust the levels in each range.

Turning a knob towards the minus (-) sign cuts the level of that frequency range; turn the knob towards the plus (+) sign to boost the level of that range.

Equalization is applied to the overall sound output from the OUTPUT jacks.

Sounds may distort at certain knob settings. If this occurs, lower the volume level in the zones using the respective ZONE LEVEL sliders.
