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 PSR-3000/1500 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
frequency bands, and save the settings to one of two User Master EQ types.
