15/ 16/ 17. EQ HIGH / MID / LOW
The mixer’s Equalizer section allows shaping of the outgoing
audio signal. All mono input channels are fitted with 3-band
EQ. The upper ( 15 ) and lower ( 17 ) shelving controls have
their frequencies fixed 12 Khz and 80 Hz respectively. The Mid
range control ( 16 ) has a center frequency of 2.5 Khz. All 3
bands have up to 12 dB cut and boost, with a centre detent
for “OFF”. Turning the Equalizer level control to the right
amplifies the frequency range, turning to the left attenuates
the signal. Minor changes to the Equalizer control usually
produce the best results. Try to avoid excessive
enhancement of the MID band.
