EQ (Equalizer)

Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spec-
trum into multiple bands that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall
frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound from speak-
ers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of
the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too
“boomy,” or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound
is relatively “dead” and free of echoes. The instrument possesses a high-grade five-
band digital EQ. With this function, a final effect—tone control can be added to the
output of your instrument. You can select one of the five preset EQ settings in the
EQ display. You can even create your own custom EQ settings by adjusting the fre-
quency bands, and save the settings to one of two User Master EQ types.
