Tuning the 4 Bands of equalization is set by your listening
preference as different music genre are produced with
different quality and different equalizations. The AP-4EQ was
designed to help you compensate these recording differences by
allowing you to fine tune your system for your listening enjoyment.
The 4 Bands of equalization does not affect your
subwoofer channel as your subwoofer channel already has its
own independent frequency range and volume knob. Instead the
equalization bands will only affect the Front and Rear Outputs.
- Bass (75Hz Centered): Use this knob sparingly as most
coaxials speakers and components cannot handle 18dB of
boost. However, in some music you will find that turning up this
knob will enhance the low frequency output.
- Mid-Bass (500Hz Centered): Use this knob to control
frequencies that are above subwoofer bass and below midrange
which is also called low order harmonics. This range is normally
associated with Male vocals, brass instruments.
- Mid-Range (2.5kHz Centered): Use this knob to control
frequencies that are associated with musical instruments and
female vocals. Over boosting this region can harm your hearing
as your ears are particularly sensitive to how voice sounds and
it’s frequency coverage.
- High (10kHz Centered): Use this knob to control the upper
frequency spectrum which is also known as the brilliance range.
Boosting this range can make a recording sound more Hi-Fi.
However over boosting this range can also cause excessive
hiss and listening fatigue.
