PEQ
The Portable Headphone Amplifier features three Parametric EQs (PEQs), which you can
use to boost or cut frequencies with more precision than the Shelf EQ offers. Rather than
boosting or cutting all frequencies above or below a particular point, you can boost or cut
a specific range of frequencies within a bell curve.
This gives a greater amount of boost or cut to the frequency at the center of the curve and
a smaller amount to frequencies the further they get from the central frequency. This
allows you to accentuate particular sounds, voices, or instruments in an audio mix. It is also
useful if the speakers, headphones, or even any item within the room has a resonant
frequency that rattles.
With PEQ you can set which frequency is at the apex of the curve, the amount of gain or
attenuation, and the width of the curve.
Perform the following steps to set first of the three available PEQs. The concept is the
same for the other two PEQs.
1.
Momentarily press the MENU/BACK button. The Display will show MAIN MENU [1/4]
EQ.
2.
Momentarily press the ENTER/INPUT button. The Display will show EQ MENU [1/4]
SHELF EQ.
3.
Momentarily press the INCREASE button. The Display will show EQ MENU [2/4]
PEQ 1.
4.
Momentarily press the ENTER/INPUT button. The Display will show PEQ 1 with a
pointer to the left of the ENABLE label.
5.
If the value for ENABLE is OFF, momentarily press the INCREASE button to change
the value for ENABLE to ON.
