Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound output from amps or speakers to match the special character of the

room. The sound is divided into several frequency bands, allowing you to correct the sound by raising or lowering the

level for each band. The equalizer allows you to adjust the tone or timbre of the sound to match the performance space,

or to compensate for certain acoustic characteristics in your room. For example, you can cut some of the low range

frequencies when playing on stages or in large studio 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 CVP-210/208

possesses a high grade five-band digital equalizer function. With this function, a final effect—tone control—can be

added to the output of your instrument.

The explanations here apply to step 2 of the procedure on page 123.

Whenever an EQ band is edited, the corresponding EQ value
is highlighted and the number of the edited band appears
above the Q and FREQ controls. The Q and FREQ controls
can then be used to adjust the Q (bandwidth) and the FREQ
(center frequency) of the selected band. The higher the “Q”,
the narrower the bandwidth. The available FREQ range is
different for each band.
The PRESET and USER curves can be
edited as required via the corresponding
buttons. Each of the five bands can be
boosted or cut by up to 12 dB.
