103EQ - Setting the 103EQ

 

 

Setting the 103EQ 

The 

103EQ

 parametric equalizer lets you adjust the sound so it will suit your 

needs.  

 

 

 

For optimal adjustment of the 

103EQ

 when using with the Kramer  

Galil-2C

,

 

see 

Section 

 

5.1

. 

When setting the 

103EQ

 for other applications, bear in mind that: 

 

There are no steadfast rules to follow 

 

The adjustment process is personal and you can adjust the different 

elements of sound to your own liking 

 

Each time you adjust the 

103EQ

, wait a moment to hear the result before 

you readjust 

 

Any change you make affects not only the range that you have just 

adjusted but the total sound since the frequencies interact with each other 

 

For the most efficient results start working with the low frequencies  

 

You may need to make readjustments  

To adjust the

 

103EQ

1.  Set the lower frequencies (band 1, from 40Hz to 1200Hz) as follows: 

 

Increase the gain in order to identify the frequency band 

 

Center the frequency to the band of interest 

 

Set the bandwidth accordingly 

 

Adjust the gain to the level required 

 

Tweak the three trimmers (repeatedly) for optimal sound 

2.  Take a moment to listen to the result.
