The Graphic Equalizer provides 10 frequency bands that can be boost or cut to tailor the system frequency 
response, or tone. Two rows of buttons at the top of the slider bank provides quick access to eight equalizer 

presets. The Flat setting returns the sliders to their zero (i.e unmodified) positions.
